When I first started my XTRAC laser treatments to repigment the vitiligo areas of my skin, I would write updates after each visit; thought, each treatment showed new results a few days after, each blog seemed a bit repetitive, so I’ve decided to give you an update every couple of weeks…and today is the day.
Simply put, the results so far are amazing! I have such fair skin in the winter so it’s difficult to see the new pigment in photo’s, but let me tell you, they are forming everywhere. Even my dermatologist is very happy with the results.
The only downfall to this treatment is the potential to slightly burn in certain areas. And even though it’s uncomfortable, we have noticed that for whatever reason, those areas which heal from the burn are the fastest to repigment.
Here’s the confusing thing about vitiligo; supposedly, our ability to pigment in certain areas is gone, right? Well, if this is true, I’d like to know the reason that I am re-pigmenting. Frankly, it makes no sense.
