jeremy rawlins is currently working out of glasgow SKIN FX clinic once a month!

I have an appointment in a couple of weeks to get his advice on the next step.

The dent i had is all but gone. The hypopigmented area greatly reduced, it appeared initially that the pigment was going to come back fully, but then a few months later it was whiter again. Now since ive been on holiday more pigment appears to have migrated inwards, so the white area is narrowed further still.

would you say that recell was worth it for the hypopigment? How much improvement would you estimate you got? I wonder when it'll be in the US

hard to say. bear in mind that pigment lost through laser surgery has different mechanisms to pigment lost through other trauma (according to Borecs findings, the melanocytes are there but 'switched off'.) The edges of my whitened area have crept in a few mm making the hypopigmented area half the size, which is significant for me. but for a wider area a few mm might not be so pleasing. But, if i had recell again and got another few mm of pigment, that would be it all repigmented, and then my answer would be an easy YES!

No worries Investor!

As i just said in Borecs thread, Im going to get a second opinion on what to do next from Jeremy rawlins. I feel that, the pigment has migrated inwards from the edges. If i did recell again, it could migrate further. Dr Ahmed said not to risk doing it again when i got such a good result, and suggested PRP instead. I dont see why a second shot of recell is a 'risk'......so anyway, a second opinion is always good.

I had a holiday last week and the outer edges of the whitened area have tanned....woop!! The centre is still pale though

no idea sorry!

but if what borec says is true, that laser-induced hypo is different to 'normal' hypo, i guess recell would work differently on vitiligo than scars like mine and borecs
