Color doesn't return.

Cells do.

And that's one of the most fascinating aspects of vitiligo treatment.

The pigment we see on the surface is actually produced by specialized cells called melanocytes. When those cells are absent, skin loses its color.

For suitable patients, vitiligo surgery focuses on restoring those pigment-producing cells—allowing the skin to gradually create its own color again.
