About Autoimmune & Chronic Conditions

Skin conditions like Psoriasis and Vitiligo are more than skin deep; they are chronic, autoimmune disorders that require long-term, empathetic, and specialised care. At Sparderm, we approach these conditions with a deep understanding of their impact on your quality of life. Our focus is on controlling flare-ups, achieving repigmentation (in vitiligo), and providing you with the strategies to manage your condition effectively, helping you lead a life with confidence.
Managing an autoimmune skin disease is a journey, and we are here to walk it with you. We combine the latest medical advancements with a holistic view of your health to develop a sustainable management plan.

Our specialised treatment protocols are tailored to each condition and individual:

For Psoriasis

We aim to control the rapid skin cell growth and reduce inflammation. Our armamentarium includes:

  • Topical Treatments: Potent corticosteroids and vitamin-D analogues.
  • Phototherapy (Light Therapy): A highly effective treatment using controlled UVB light to slow skin cell turnover and reduce scaling.
  • Systemic Medications & Biologics: For moderate to severe psoriasis, we offer advanced oral medications and targeted biologic drugs that specifically block the immune system triggers responsible for psoriasis.
  •  
For Vitiligo

The goal is to stop the progression of depigmentation and encourage the return of your natural skin colour. Our strategies include:

  • Topical Immunomodulators: Creams that can help stimulate repigmentation, especially on the face and neck.
  • Narrowband UVB Phototherapy: The gold standard for vitiligo treatment, which stimulates melanocytes to repopulate the white patches.
  • Surgical Options: For stable, localised vitiligo, we offer advanced surgical techniques like melanocyte transplantation, where we transfer pigment-forming cells from healthy skin to the affected areas.
We also provide crucial counselling on the link between stress, lifestyle, and autoimmune flares. Our commitment is to offer you not just treatment, but hope and a comprehensive partnership in managing your skin health.
