Leukoderma is also used for this skin condition, as mentioned at wikipedia and Anti-Vitiligo http://www.antivitiligo.com/frequently-asked-questions.html
About 2% to 3% of total population is suffering from this skin condition. A cure of this skin condition normally take a long period of time. In most of the cases it also affects the emotional state of the patient more hardly than its skin. Because patients have to suffer a lot of stress as due to its cosmetic look.
It is right that it is non infectious or transmissible skin disease. Nor it is a pre cancerous disease. But some researcher or skin specialist said due to the lack of melanin a patient have risk to be affected by skin cancer. Because this substance has ability to absorb uvb and uva light which causes skin cancer.

Vitiligo is common non infectious skin condition, causing the destruction of melanocytes skin cells, resulting in color less patches in skin. Cure of vitiligo root causes are not possible due to the lack of knowledge about its causations. Normally patient shows very anxious behavior vitiligo cure. They do not hesitate in spending money on different products for the cure of their skin disorder.
White patches of vitiligo are thought to results of abnormal behavior of your own defense system(auto immune system). According to the most reliable theory about causation of vitiligo that an anti body produced due to some fault mechanism in your auto immune system destroy your own pigmentation producing skin cells called melanocytes.
Vitiligo is characterized by the discoloration in skin. This is the reason that it also called depigmentation or referred as pigmentation disorder. Here pigmentation means color of skin. A regular pigmentation processing in skin responsible for specific skin coloration.
Special substance in liquid form having dark brown coloration, determined your skin color and called melanin. It is produced by melanocytes skin cells.
All the medical or natural procedures for the cure of vitiligo, focus either to increase the production of melanocytes, or to increase productivity of melanocyte skin cells.

Vitiligo Cure and some facts
Vitiligo, you often see people having white patches on skin. When some one ask them about these white patches on their body, why they not cure these spots. Most of the patients replies that there is no cure of vitiligo. This reply is right at some extent and not right also due to some reason.
Right in this way that you can only re-pigment your spots and can not eliminate underlying causes of disease. Furthermore causes of vitiligo are not fully known with certainty and causes may change in person to person.
If we say that cure of vitiligo is possible then we quote example of many people which get their pigmentation back and hence cure vitiligo patches.
Here are the views of different Vitiligo organizations about vitiligo cure.
Vitiligo Cure and some facts
Anti-Vitiligo say that you can not completely annihilate vitiligo from your skin system.And say in open words about cure of vitiligo “One cannot cure vitiligo or halt it, but you can manage the local manifestations (white patches) using oral or topical treatments.”However Anti-Vitiligo also provide a herbal remedy for treatment of vitiligo. VitiligoGuide also seems agree with this view as it is indicated by its content about vitiligo cure at http://www.vitiligoguide.com/vitiligo-cure/

uvb light
UVB light is an important radiation which affects human life hardly. Though it is not present all the time in sunlight, but intensity of uvb light in sunlight is gradually increasing due to current environmental conditions.
There is a close relation between the sunlight, uvb light and the skin care. It is the reason that the words uvb and uva are frequently used in skin care industry.
Sunlight contains of different wave length’s light in it. Among them one is most famous is Ultra Violet (UV). UV rays are further subdivided into sub types based on the wave length ranges. uvb light and uva are important components of sunlight.
UVB light
UV rays of ranges 280 to 315 nm wavelength called uvb light. (Ref: http://www.antivitiligo.com/vitiligo-treatment/uvb.html ) As it is clear by shortness of wave length these are highly energetic and has more frequency. uvb light is capable of damaging DNA of body and hence causes skin cancer. A latest study shows that about 90% of all the cases of skin cancer occurs due long exposure of body to uvb light.
uvb light used for the treatment of cancer by destroying cancer cell in skin. these are also useful in increasing the production of vitamin D in skin which is important ingredient for bone. On the other it is uvb light that causes burning and redness of skin when exposed to the sunlight. Prolong exposure of skin to the Sun is a major causes skin cancer.
uva rays
uva rays have wave length range 315 to 400 nm. These are the tanning rays of sunlight. These are not as hazardous as uvb light but can penetrate deeper into skin.
UVA and UVB both cause skin cancer by affecting DNA in human body besides this many other skin disorder causations revolved around these rays. UVA are tanning rays of the Sun and found in large quantity in sunlight. UVB’s quantity is much lower than that of the uva but it is more dangerous for human skin. Sun burn in skin due to the uvb light but it unlike uva not infiltrate deeper into skin.
Both uva and uvb are the major source of skin cancer. Most of the people realize uva as a less hazardous as compare to the uvb but a latest study indicate that it also cause skin cancer by indirect destruction of the skin cells.
PUVA
Know some benefit of these rays. In these days uva base treatment termed as PUVA is being popular due to its effectiveness. PUVA utilized for the treatment of different skin condition like Vitiligo, Psoraisis and eczema etc.
In this technique first psoralens are (Orally/ Topically) dozed to the patient, Psoralens are power sensitizer for skin to the tanning effects of these rays. After then a special device used which generates and emits uva to effected body part of the patients.
UVB and Medical treatment
UVB is also useful for the treatment different skin diseases. However in not use any sensitizing agent like PUVA.

Vitiligo Treatment Options
Vitiligo is very chronic skin condition. And treatment of vitiligo is a tricky metter. Here are some information about the treatment options for this pigmentaiton disorder. Frome vitiligo treatment by vitiligo-guide
When we talk of the vitiligo treatment, we must clearly appreciate the fact that Vitiligo is a generalized abnormality of your immune system that results in localized manifestation in the form of white spots in your skin.
It is quite possible to manage white patches in the skin, but there is hardly an acceptable remedy to address the underlying basic problem in general, its mean vitiligo treatment is not as simple.
That is not a big negative however! Vitiligo causes no harm or danger to you except being unacceptable on cosmetic grounds, and local management of the cosmetically significant patches should be sufficient in majority of the cases. It is in fact wise not to waste your time and money in the search of permanent generalized vitiligo treatments.
The following options are available in the treatment of vitiligo
Home Remedies
Alternate treatments
Herbal Remedies
1. Oral therapies with natural Psoralen
2. Topical therapies using natural Psoralen
Homeopathic
Ayer Vedic
Prescription Medicine
Topical steroid therapy
Psoralen photochemotherapy
Surgical Therapy
Autologous skin grafts
Skin grafts using blisters
Autologous melanocyte transplants
Totooing
Home Remedies
Majority of the patients will try a home remedy as vitiligo treatment, at least once in their lifetime. They range from simple dietary modifications to the ingestion of psoralens. The benefits are as variable as the nature of remedies. The most effective of all home remedies of course is the use of psoralens, but an unsupervised use of these potent herbs can lead to very unpleasant side effects, which may preclude their further continuation.
Alternate Treatments
Herbal Remedies
Herbal remedies employ various herbal components which contain psoralens. Psoralens is widely used substance for vitiligo treatment.
Psoralens are a group of naturally occurring, substances, which can sensitize human skin to the tanning effect of UV light (Sun light), thereby enhancing pigmentation. It is for this important quality, that they have been used with success for vitiligo treatment since ages.
Psoralens are found naturally in many herbal components. There have been isolated from fig, parsley, West Indian satinwood and celery etc. but seeds of Psoralea corylifolia are the most extensively used source of psoralens in herbal as well as Indian ayurvedic systems of alternate medicine.
1. Oral Psoralen Therapy
It is commonly used even as a domestic remedy for vitiligo treatment, in which the plant Psoralea corylifolia is ingested in various recipes. A common example is soaking the plant parts in water over night and drinking the water in the morning.
The remedy is fairly effective vitiligo treatment when combined with sun exposure, but very few people will continue to use it because of the following reasons.
Extremely unpleasant taste
Large quantities are usually required for oral intake which is very cumbersome
intolerance and side effects in form of nausea and allergic symptoms
Unwanted pigmentation of the whole body
The pigmentation is usually temporary which is lost gradually on cessation of treatment
Precautions: Psoralen is a very potent substance, and should not be used without adequate knowledge in its use.
2. Topical psoralen therapy
Application of the medicine on target skin area is a very wise and convenient alternative to oral ingestion. It can sensitize the skin even locally, which would subsequently gain color on sun exposure.
Various methods of local applications are recommended by different authorities e.g. extracts, oils and concoctions, in which the substance is used alone, or in complex recipes along with other herbal materials.
Homeopathy
Homeopathic system of medicine like the allopathic medicine, believes vitiligo to be a systemic disease with localized expression. They however differ in the treatment approach, because homeopathy does not offer any localized topical remedy for vitiligo treatment. It aims at detection and restoration of abnormalities in the constitution of the body. This necessarily means that the patient has to be treated and supervised by homeopathic a professional.
Ayurvedic
Ayurvedic is an Indian system of medicine which utilizes herbal, and natural products as well as heavy metals and surgical techniques for healing purposes. The treatment approach for vitiligo is however similar to the herbal approach. Some of the experts also recommend therapeutic vomiting and purgation for vitiligo.
Prescription Medicine
Prescription medicines are those therapies which are regulated by public laws and their sales is generally prohibited without prescription form a medical professional. Their advantages and side effects are scientifically studied and have a large evidence base to back them up.
This system has been relying mainly on the local use of very potent steroids which offer a temporary relief, but their high potential of side effects is prohibitive. After the scientific evidence in favor of psoralens however, these substances are also being exploited in various ways. The main disadvantage of prescription medicines however is that they are very expensive. They also lag in their efficacy because they lack the mastery in using psoralens, which is commonplace for the herbalist.
Topical Steroid Therapy
Steroids are fairly potent suppressor of immunity and can hence be of benefit in auto-immune diseases. They are commonly used in the form of topical creams and ointments during the early stages of vitiligo. Milder steroids are used for the children and potent ones for the adults. They are usually recommended for a period of three months and the effect is generally temporary. Local and systemic side effects may limit the use of these agents for prolonged duration.
Steroids are chemically related to cortisol, the major hormone produced by adrenal glands. They are less potent than psoralen photochemotherapy in the treatment of vitiligo.
Psoralen Photochemotherapy
Psoralens are a group of naturally occurring, substances, which can sensitize human skin to the tanning effect of UV light (Sun light), thereby enhancing pigmentation. It is for this important quality, that they have been used with success, to treat vitiligo since ages.
Surgical Therapy
Autologous skin grafts
The pigment containing skin from one area of the body is surgically shifted to an area where there is no pigment. The success is usually not predictable and the result may be more un-acceptable than the base-line. When the cost, the hassle and the risk of surgical complications like scarring and infection are added, it becomes a fairly risky option to go for vitiligo treatment.
Skin grafts using blisters
It is a variation in the technique of skin grafting, in which blisters on the pigment containing skin are artificially created and then cut out to be transplanted at the required site. The risk of scaring is less than the standard technique, but success in the form of re-pigmentation is not very encouraging.
Autologous melanocyte transplants
The pigment containing skin from one area of the body is surgically shifted to an area where there is no pigment. The procedure has shown some promise, but is not widely available, because it is still in its experimental stages.
Tattooing
Tattooing is not a traditional vitiligo treatment but used as a camouflage technique, it is done with artificial pigments which are deposited into the skin, with the help of traditional tattooing needles or by surgical techniques in present scientific era. The accuracy of color match shall depend upon the skill of the person doing it. It will work best for darker skins, and the color may become lighter with the passage of time. There are risks of serious infections spreading with tattooing through traditional methods. Tattooing should only be carried out by certified and licensed professionals.

“Unwanted hair that potentially has profound effects on psychological well-being is an exceedingly common concern for men and women,” according to background information in the article. During the past decade, laser hair removal has become a popular and accepted method used to reduce the growth of unwanted hair. “Laser-assisted photoepilation or laser hair removal, as first reported in 1996, is accomplished through destruction of the follicular unit [the hair follicle].”
