Vit + Results

For the past week I have been applying protopic cream. Last night, I used my new dermalight 80 wand for the first time. I held the light on this area for approximately 3 minutes. When I woke up this morning, I snapped a photo of that region, the (lower part of my abdomen or right above the underwear line) I think this is a good sign, as the vit seems to be responding after only 1 use. Also, pigment seems to be returning around my mouth. I wish I had snapped a before photo of my mouth area to compare how much improvement there really is.

  • Keep us updated on your home treatment. Does the color fade back to white if you don't expose your skin to the light treatment?
  • About 2 weeks have passed and I've noticed freckles of pigment beginning to return to patches of vitiligo around my abdomen. The redness faded after a few days of applying a moisturizer with aloe vera. Also, the skin where I was shining the light tanned in color. The top layer of skin seems to be dry and shedding (kind of like when a snake sheds its skin).

    • That is awesome DJ, mine seems to be filling in the same way, i think you are really onto something, it does seem to me when i get sunburned when it goes away there is a little more pigment there than before, I am going out to the pool today to get some sun with my protopic on after i take my vitamins. Good luck!!!
    • hey dj that's great! good to hear its working for ya' keep us up to date =)
  • One day ? It seems extremely fast process but that's vit for you, always a mystery. Anyways great news & good luck! And I can hardly see vit spots around your mouth.
    • Yes, I have only used the dermalight once so far. The vit spots around my mouth were awfully white yesterday, but this morning when i woke up they appear to have tanned.
      • How much did that dermalight 80 wand cost? Were you able to get insurance to pay for it?
        • Found one for $300 on Ebay. It was a European model, so I had to also buy a 45W Reverse-Voltage Converter from Radio Shack for $40.
