Vitiligo Treatment in Bangkok
Vitiligo is an autoimmune skin condition causing the loss of melanin-producing cells (melanocytes), resulting in white depigmented patches. It can be psychologically distressing and is increasingly treatable with modern dermatology — including topical JAK inhibitors that have transformed outcomes for many patients. Effective management requires a board-certified dermatologist with experience in pigmentary disorders.
Siam Dermatology in Samut Prakan (Bangkok area) treats vitiligo for both adults and children. Led by Dr. Patara Voravutinon, MD, Diplomate of the Thai Board of Dermatology (license 54323). Formerly Dr. Pat Skin Clinic.

Every patient is examined personally by Dr. Patara Voravutinon, a Diplomate of the Thai Board of Dermatology (Medical Council of Thailand license 54323). Treatment options include:
- Topical therapy — topical corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors (tacrolimus, pimecrolimus), and topical ruxolitinib (JAK inhibitor) where available.
- Phototherapy — narrowband UVB (the gold standard for widespread vitiligo) and excimer laser for localized patches.
- Oral medications — systemic immunomodulators for rapidly progressing or extensive vitiligo, selected case-by-case.
- Surgical options — for stable vitiligo: melanocyte transplantation, mini-grafting where indicated.
- Camouflage and cosmetic options — medical-grade cover-up, micropigmentation in select cases.
- Psychological support and counseling — vitiligo impacts mental wellbeing; treatment goes beyond skin.
Why see a board-certified dermatologist
Vitiligo treatment has advanced significantly with new JAK inhibitors, but selection of the right treatment requires experience differentiating vitiligo subtypes, identifying when disease is active versus stable, and combining therapies. A board-certified dermatologist can offer the full range of modern options including phototherapy and (where appropriate) surgical repigmentation. Aesthetic clinics typically only offer cosmetic camouflage and cannot treat the underlying disease.
