Testimonials
After years of failed vitiligo treatments, I finally found hope and confidence. Thanks to Dr. Vivekananda’s expert care, three surgeries restored about 90% pigmentation - truly grateful to him and his wonderful team.
Dr. Jaya
I had vitiligo for 20 years and was diagnosed with segmental vitiligo. I underwent surgery in July 2021. Within 10 weeks, I got back my normal skin tone. The doctor was kind and patiently answered all my doubts. Post-surgery, he took care of me during reviews.
Muruga Raman Reddy
My cousin had patches on her hands, legs, and neck. She got treatment at Nobel Vitiligo. The patches disappeared after just 10 months of treatment. She got perfect skin color. I strongly recommend Dr.Bhat for all vitiligo patients.

What Is Vitiligo?
Vitiligo is a pigmentation disorder where areas of skin lose their natural colour due to the destruction of pigment-producing cells. While it doesn’t cause pain or physical harm, it can greatly affect confidence and emotional well-being.
How Vitiligo Treatment Works
We offer a range of treatments depending on the stage and stability of your condition:
Medical Therapies

Phototherapy (Narrowband UVB)

Surgical Options
When patches are stable (no spread for months), we offer:
-
Melanocyte Transplant Surgery – transplanting pigment-producing cells to depigmented areas
-
Combined surgical + medical approaches for best repigmentation outcomes
