Repigmentation of Segmental Vitiligo with Scalp and Pubic Follicular Unit Extraction Graft Transplantation

Segmental vitiligo (SV) has been identified as a type of vitiligo starting early on in life with a rapidly progressive depigmentation in the affected area. Surgical modalities have shown better outcomes in SV compared with medical therapies. Perifollicular repigmentation being the mode of pigment spread after surgical treatments, follicular unit extraction graft surgery has shown complete repigmentation with minimal postoperative scarring. We present a case of SV where hair transplant surgery was done using scalp hair and pubic hair grafts at different times achieving complete repigmentation with photochemotherapy.
