hi,

we at  have started clinical trials of stem cell in vitiligo in the last 6 months and more than 25 patients have undergone this therapy,will keep you all posted on the results,what is under evaluation is how good this is going to be and how long are the results going to last, stem cells can halt the progression of vitiligo.

    It is something I was and still am interested in trying I just need to get some money together in order to have the surgery done. I hear its fairly expensive and I just don't have the money to spend thousands of dollars just yet. Im very pleased to hear that you re continuing to be successful I know as mine is stable and on my face it has a chance at success I just need to save up.

        Hey Dr Vivek..thanks for fast replay I have some questions

        1.Is it possible to do Stem cell therapy while vitiligo is spreding/active ?

        2 Do you offer stem cell treatment at ur clinc? ..do you have good result with it? I thought it is under trial.

        3.MKTP is it simillar to ur treatment/ do you transfur kertenocyts too or only melanocyte transplant ?

        Sorry if I ask too much ...we are glad and thankful that you use ur time to answer our questions.

            Hey Adnan


            I found out that Stem cell treatment for vitiligo is still under research , but there are many who practice melamocyte transplant....I tried it by dr. Vivek I got good repigment by combinig it With Deadsea but unfortunattly after few monthes most start to fade away..dr say it is probably coz my vit is may be was not stable ..some few spots are stil repigmented...accouding to my reaserch this treatment is not very helpfull on finger and vitligo has to be very stable for a year or more  ,I try it on face and chest.

              hi bamse,

              the pigment that remained was how much like what percentage remains till today and did any remain on your fingers and feet or all gone ?   and what was the cost of this ?

                I have tried it on face and chest ..totally it worked about 40%,some small spots like a size of small coin like quater dollar has repigmented 100%,some fade away..I dont think this treatment is helpful on finger...The price depend on where you do it how big spot it is, to get correct price ask the clinc you want to do it, you kan find MKTP treatment in in ;LONDON;INDIA,SWEDEN, DETROIT (USA);DUBAI;SAUDI.
