I tried Melaniocyte transplant at Nobel clinic in India ..Dr Vivek has been helpful ..I got about 70% repigment...After I went to Deadsea the repigmentation was faster, I was on Excimer lamp treatment for a month to get read of the rest spot now go over excimer laser ....The repigmentation is faster than any other treatments I tried, within a couple of laser treatment I see pigments, may be it is because I have been to a different treatments for the last 6 months. Is there any one who has tried the laser treatment ? I want to exchange exprience.Thank you.

can you please explain the melanocytes transplant procedure? is it surgery or some gene transplantation? where is deadsea located .i mean in which country ,place ?
Hi On the melanocytes transplant procedure ,first they take top layer of normal skin tissu and they pick the cells and multiplay it in a lab then they scrach the vit spots before they put the gelly type of cells on the vitiligo spots and bandage it for 3-7 days...The letest one is different they take the cells from hair folicles..less pain.
Dead sea is between Israel and Jordan ..you have to stay 2-3 weeks to see the pigments ..above 4 stars hotels arround it is expensive to stay several weeks...It is not a cure but you can gain some repigment some of them disappir in winter time again ,the secreat is the sun there is sutable to stimulate the dormant cells.

Are you still seeing new pigment developing? Does new pigment start by freckling and then filling in?
Hey..Sorry for late replay...I stopped all uv treatments...Unfortunatlly the repig stopped and lost some of the pigments after transplant tretment.
For the moment nothing works 100%...Melanocyte transplant helps in some degree it helps most on sttable vitiligo.
Bamsegutt, when can we expect to see your before and after pictures?
I don`t want to post my photo as Im hidden viti..may be I will do it when Im fully repig.
Just curious with the treatment you received with dr. Vivek, was the melanocyte mixture injected under the skin?
Hi mr 18...
I was under anesthesia...I think they skrach slightlly the vit spot area and put it on top rapped by bandage for some days from 3-7

I can`t say only one session is enough ...coz there is no any treatment which helps every one or 100%..I guss normally you can get over 50% repigmet.
