The best resorts in Cuba for the treatment of VITILIGO
VITILIGO - (white spots on the skin) – a disease characterized by impaired production of melanin pigment by epidermal cells of the skin. Hair, eyelashes and eyebrows may also be affected.
The first white spots of the disease can appear on the body at any age, but, most often, this disease begins in childhood or adolescence. What are the white spots that appear on the body with VITILIGO disease? These are nothing more than areas of the epidermis in which the melanocytes of the skin cells stop producing the melanin pigment. Human skin is the body's protective barrier from negative environmental influences. One of these dangerous influences – ultraviolet radiation, which can cause the formation of free radicals in the skin, which, in turn, can cause such a serious disease as skin cancer. Melanin is able to retain and absorb UV rays, preventing damage to the inner layer of the skin. Skin depigmentation in VITILIGO is not a direct threat to skin cancer, but the fewer depigmented areas of skin, the calmer and more comfortable a person feels.
Causes of vitiligo
The famous Cuban doctor Carlos Myares Cao, who has studied the causes of vitiligo for many years, considers stress to be the main cause of vitiligo disease. Natural hormonal changes in the body: puberty, pregnancy, childbirth and abortion, menopause can also trigger the onset of the disease.
It is important to know that VITILIGO is never congenital
that is, it is not inherited.
Vitiligo is not a contagious disease.
About vitiligo disease
- Anyone can get vitiligo
- The disease equally affects people of different races and ages
- In children, treatment is more effective than in adults
- Dark-skinned people begin to produce melanin faster
- If up to 40% of the skin is affected, treatment of vitiligo will take up to 2 years, if more than 40% - from 2 to 4 years
- White spots of vitiligo disappear most quickly near the eyes, lips, on the face, and, most difficult to close, on the ankles, knees, and knuckles
Treatment of vitiligo, like the treatment of almost all skin diseases, is a complex and lengthy process, with alternating periods of recovery and exacerbation. But, unlike other skin diseases, such as psoriasis, neurodermatitis, lichen, etc., white spots never appear on those areas of the skin in which melanin has begun to be produced again. In the general structure of skin diseases, the share of VITILIGO is 4%. Despite the fact that many doctors do not consider VITILIGO a disease, but call it a cosmetic defect, it needs to be treated, and today there are quite successful methods and drugs for treating this skin disease.
Taking into account all of the above, the question of treating or not treating VITILIGO should not confront the patient. There are not many drugs that can stimulate the synthesis of melanin from melanocytes, but in this case an integrated approach is important in the treatment of this disease. Therefore, for many years now the Cuban method of treating VITILIGO has been showing very good results at the Placental Histotherapy Center in Cuba. The Cuban drug "MELAGENIN PLUS", developed by scientists at this clinic, is the drug of choice for TREATING VITILIGO. It is important to begin treatment in the unique natural climate of Cuba, where under the influence of natural solar radiation, melanocytes are activated and melanin synthesis increases.As with any other disease, the chances of a complete recovery increase if the patient seeks advice and medical help early.

Useful tips for patients with VITILIGO
At the Center for Placental Histotherapy (Havana, Cuba), professor of pharmacology Carlos Myares Cao, more than three decades ago, developed a method for treating patients with vitiligo (the “Cuban” method for treating vitiligo), which is still the most effective in the world. This technique is based on the use of the Cuban drug Melagenin Plus. You can read about the vitiligo treatment center in Cuba here.
The program includes:
- Presentation on vitiligo disease, providing information on treatment methods
- Specialized medical consultation (Monday to Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.). During the consultation, the doctor determines the size of the skin lesion, calculates the required amount of the drug and the timing of treatment.
- 1 outpatient session. The patient is taught how to apply the drug correctly, and at the same time he receives all the necessary recommendations for self-care during treatment. The cost of the drug used in the center is included in the cost of the treatment program.
The cost of the treatment program (1 day) at the Placental Histotherapy Center is 120 USD.
The cost of one bottle of “MELAGENIN PLUS” is 36 USD
The cost of placental soap is 3.5 USD

After the examination at the center, you must purchase the amount of the drug recommended by the doctor from the center’s pharmacy to continue treatment.
And, in conclusion, I would like to note that of all skin diseases, only VITILIGO does not cause itching and various pain sensations, but despite this, it can significantly worsen the quality of life of patients, even to the point of depression.
