Vitiligo Treatment
Vitiligo treatment involves various methods to manage depigmented patches on the skin caused by the lack of melanin. Common treatments include topical corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, and phototherapy using narrowband UVB or psoralen plus ultraviolet A (PUVA). Other options include cosmetic camouflage, depigmentation, and skin grafting. The goal is to stabilize or slow down the progression of the condition, although results vary greatly between individuals.
In Greece:
Vitiligo in Greece is commonly treated through various methods such as UV light therapy, skin grafting, or depigmentation. The Greek National Health System partially covers these treatments, but costs can vary from €1,000 to €5,000 per session.
Additional:
Greece's warm climate may aid in UV therapy sessions. Waiting times for public health services can be up to 3 months.
