SWD skin grafting has been a traditional treatment method for vitiligo with over 30 years of clinical application! This procedure is recognized by both doctors and patients due to its simple operation, definitive efficacy, and low complication rate!
SWD skin grafting has no rejection, a high survival rate of melanocytes, and faster repigmentation. So, can children with vitiligo endure melanocyte implantation as a minimally invasive skin grafting procedure?
Children with Vitiligo Can Undergo Skin Grafting
The melanocyte implantation surgery treats vitiligo on the body surface mainly by using a negative pressure suction device to extract active melanocytes, taking mature cells from the patient’s own normal skin. This autologous grafting has no rejection and a high survival rate. The implantation procedure is minimally invasive, painless, and can be tolerated by children. Moreover, this minimally invasive surgery does not extract a whole piece of skin tissue, causing no harm to the patient’s skin and leaving no scars, making it relatively safe and reliable for children’s treatment.

Requirements for Children’s Skin Grafting
It is essential to ensure that the vitiligo spots on the patient are in a stable phase, meaning the spots are no longer increasing or enlarging, and the condition is stable with minimal external stimuli. Under such circumstances, undergoing SWD skin grafting is more prudent.
If there are new or enlarging spots, blind grafting is not recommended. Even though it is minimally invasive, it will create small wounds on the patient’s skin, which may easily trigger a Koebner phenomenon.
Precautions for Children’s Skin Grafting
After the grafting, parents should pay close attention and remind the child not to frequently touch, rub, or press the affected area, and to avoid water to prevent inflammation and inflammatory reactions.
Central Hospital can also provide inpatient treatment, where doctors will regularly check the child’s affected area for recovery and provide treatment guidance to accelerate the repigmentation of the vitiligo.
