Protocol options

Approaches we offer.

Your dermatologist recommends the right protocol for Surgery after a one-on-one assessment.

Suction Blister Epidermal Grafting (SBEG)
Healthy epidermis is lifted as a thin blister from a donor site and transplanted onto stable depigmented patches — minimal scarring, good colour match.
Mini Punch Grafting
Tiny full-thickness grafts are placed into the affected area to seed melanocytes and repigment small, stable patches.
Non-cultured Epidermal Cell Suspension (NCES)
A melanocyte-rich cell suspension prepared from a small donor sample is applied to dermabraded recipient skin — suited to larger stable areas.
Split-Thickness Skin Grafting
A thin sheet of donor skin is grafted over a prepared recipient site, useful for larger stable or segmental patches.
