VITILIGO is a disease characterized by the appearance of blemishes or white spots on the skin. These are usually found symmetrically on both sides of the body.
A certain predisposition to vitiligo exists amongst persons suffering from diabetes, anemia, thyroid dysfunctions or goitres. While the exact cause of this disease is not known, factors such as stress, anxiety, depression, doubt and uncontrolled aggression may contribute to its appearance.
Our body has many defense mechanisms to fight the harmful effects of light: for example, we blink when surrounded by excessive light. Our skin cells also react via the pigmentation phenomenon. In the summer, the skin pigments activate after sun exposure, causing the skin to tan. In the winter, this process slows down and our skin is not as colored. Some hormones or vitamins, such as Vitamin C, accelerate pigmentation. If the organism dysfunctions, a stronger pigmentation will occur around the core of certain cells, causing vitiligo.
OUR TRAITMENT: It consists in two complementary treatments:
Our specific infusion composed of an exclusive mix of plants and aromatic herbs, associated with exposure to the sun after have spread the ointment over the white areas or the entire surface of the skin. If you are not able to be exposed to the sun, our most recent treatment is under study but requires a stay in a spa. We can provide you with the contact details if needed. Do not hesitate to contact us in this regard.
Use:
A) The infusion:
Pour boiling water over the bag.
Drink immediately before it sits too long
It is important not to boil the water with the tea bag; this would cause a loss of the healing potential. Also, do not re-use the bag for a second infusion later in the day: always drink a freshly made infusion.
B) VITILICCO (ointment):
This should be used in accordance with your skin features: be careful during the first days of exposure to the sun (if your skin is fair, exposure to the sun should be progressive, before 10:00 am and after 4:00 pm).
Do not leave the jar of ointment in the sun or in high temperatures. You should keep the jar in a cool place, even your refrigerator.
During the treatment, the areas affected by vitiligo will first become pink, similar to a slight sunburn. Then, a few small pigmentation dots will occur: these will grow and meet each other. The vitiligo will then disappear.
The areas affected by vitiligo that do not heal well are the extremities: the hands and feet. There is a specific treatment for this problem. If you notice that these areas are resistant to the first treatment, do not hesitate to contact us.
After your complete cure, we advise our patients to continue drinking the infusion for a period of one year.
TRAITMENT by steam: In addition to traditional treatment, we also recommend a supplementary treatment: steam. After spreading our VITTILICCO cream over the vitiligo patches, boil a pot of hot water. Once boiled, expose the relevant zones as best you can to the steam for approximately ten minutes. Take care not to burn yourself and proceed with absolute calm. If you can visit a hammam in your neighbourhood, the treatment is obviously easier (not a sauna, as the heat is dry and does not heal). An essential oil should be added to the water in the pot, 5 drops per session. Consult the “order” section.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SUN’S BENEFITS, WITH NO DANGER.
VITILLICO cream has been specifically studied for extensive exposure to the sun.
Its exclusive composition neutralizes harmful rays and allows the skin to absorb only the amounts necessary for a smooth tan, while healing the vitiligo. As a protective screen against harmful rays, VITILLICO ointment blocks UVA and UVB rays, allowing the skin to slowly start the repigmentation process while preserving its natural elasticity and preventing sunburns.
HOWEVER, DO NOT FORGET THIS CRUCIAL ADVICE SO YOU CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SUN IN ALL SAFETY:
- Cover your head when you’re out in the sun for an extensive period, and regularly lower the temperature of your body, either by swimming or spending a few moments in the shade. - In any event, renew the VITILLICO cream applications at least every two hours of exposure or after a swim. A small quantity of cream is enough, but it must be applied regularly. - Drinking sufficient quantities of water during exposure to the sun is essential (at least two liters per day of exposure). Do not risk dehydrating.
