Leucoderma is multifactorial — genetic predisposition, autoimmune responses, oxidative stress, and skin injury (Koebner phenomenon) often play a role. Triggers such as stress, certain chemicals, sunburn, or nutritional deficiencies can worsen or provoke new patches. Our assessment looks for these underlying and triggering factors to create a targeted plan.

Response time varies by type, extent and duration of Leucoderma. Some patients see stabilization within weeks and early signs of repigmentation in a few months. Long-standing or widespread cases may require longer therapy and maintenance. We give realistic timelines after individual assessment.

When prescribed and monitored by qualified practitioners, Ayurvedic formulations and supervised therapies are generally safe. Some detox procedures require brief lifestyle adjustments and professional supervision. We use quality-controlled herbs and monitor patients to minimise risks and interactions.

Yes. Diet and lifestyle strongly influence outcomes. We recommend a nutrient-rich diet (adequate proteins, vitamins and minerals — especially B12, folate, vitamin D and antioxidants), stress management, and avoiding chemical irritants. Specific dietary advice is tailored to your constitution (Prakriti) and treatment protocol.

Vitiligo Vaidya combines decades of clinical experience with individualized Ayurvedic protocols for skin disorders. We assess root causes, use targeted herbal and topical approaches, coordinate with other specialists if needed, and provide long-term follow-up — aiming for safe, sustained improvements in skin health and quality of life.

Yes — children can be treated, but the approach is gentler and carefully tailored to age and constitution. We prioritise safe internal medicines at appropriate doses, topical care, nutrition, and family counselling. Early intervention often improves outcomes.

No treatment can guarantee repigmentation for every patient. Many patients experience stabilization and varying degrees of repigmentation, especially when treatment begins early and is combined with lifestyle changes. We set realistic expectations and monitor progress closely.

Yes — Ayurveda can often be integrated with modern therapies such as narrowband UVB/phototherapy under supervision. Combining approaches can be complementary, but coordination with your dermatologist or phototherapy team is important to ensure safety and optimal timing.

Often yes — we commonly screen for associated autoimmune conditions (like thyroid disorders), check vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels, and look for nutritional deficiencies. Identifying and treating these can improve skin response and overall health.

Supportive home care includes gentle skin protection from sunburn, avoiding harsh chemicals or physical trauma to skin, following prescribed topical and internal medicines, stress management (yoga/meditation), and a balanced antioxidant-rich diet. Regular photographic tracking helps assess progress.
