Cover-up cosmetics work well for some people. Other more sophisticated forms of treatment include gradually developing color back in the depigmented areas (repigmentation) by PUVA or other ultraviolet light treatments, but this is extremely slow and intensive, often requiring several hundred treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis new form of treatment, which involves surgically transplanting melanocytes into the white areas, is most successful in patients with stable vitiligo over less than 30% of their body surface area. It complements medical therapies in achieving complete and sustained repigmentation and is rapidly gaining popularity in all major centers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is the first book available which describes this major advance in detail.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplains the new treatment of surgically transplanting melanocytes into the affected areas of the skin to provide dermatologists and surgeons with the latest state-of-the-art information\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten by the international leaders who pioneered this treatment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents all the latest information on the topic, eliminating the need to search through multiple sources for specific data\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSomesh Gupta,\u003c\/b\u003e MD, DNB, Department of Dermatology and Venereology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMats J.
