Thanks for the query.many options are available especially if you have stable vitiligo for about 2 years.Also procedures depend on area of involvement of vitiligo.Phototherapy is treatment of choice for vitiligo even though time taking.Other options other than excimer laser include ultrathin grafting,suction blister grafting,punch grafting,and others like melanocyte tissue culture method which are recent ones.
Next Steps
Consult any dermatologist who are doing above preocedures and get appropriate treatment.
