Chronic
Vitiligo
Repigmentation is scored by the proportion of the patch that has recoloured and where it started from — perifollicular islands, or inward from the edge.
- Patch area and site
- Whether spread has stopped
- Colour match at the margin
Results
What change actually looks like.
Every image on this page is a real patient who signed a consent form for it to be published. Where no consented image exists, there is no image — a placeholder is more honest than a stock photograph.

The rule
Consent first, image second.
Before-and-after photographs are the most persuasive thing a dermatology practice can publish, and the easiest thing to misuse. Indian Medical Council advertising rules are strict about it, and rightly so.
The rule here is simple and absolute: an image appears on this site only if the patient signed a written consent for that specific use. Not a general clinical consent — a publication consent. Withdrawal is honoured immediately, no reason required.
That means this page fills in slowly. It also means everything on it is real.

How progress is measured
What is being tracked, condition by condition
Chronic
Psoriasis
Measured by how much body surface is involved and how much it is affecting sleep, work and itch — not by photographs alone.
- Involved surface area
- Scale, redness, thickness
- Time between flares
Aesthetic
Acne, hair and aesthetics
Lesion counts for acne, pull tests and trichoscopy for hair, and standardised photographs for aesthetic work.
- Inflammatory lesion count
- Trichoscopy imaging
- Fixed-angle photography
No result here is a promise
Individual outcomes vary with the condition, its duration, the site, and how consistently treatment is followed. A photograph of one patient’s result is evidence that it happened for them, not a prediction for you.
Why this matters
Honest photography is also better medicine.
A standardised photograph taken at the first visit is the only reliable way to answer the question every chronic patient eventually asks: is this actually better, or do I just want it to be?
Memory is a poor instrument over six months. The camera is not. Baseline photographs are taken for the clinical record whether or not they are ever published — and they are only ever published with consent.

Same distance, same light, same angle — so the comparison means something.
Reviewed on a schedule
Every six to eight weeks for chronic disease. If nothing has moved, the plan changes.
Questions patients actually ask
About results
Why are there so few before-and-after photographs?
Because only images with a signed publication consent are used. Building that library takes time, and no image is added without it.
Will I get the same result as the photographs show?
Not necessarily. Results vary with the condition, how long it has been present, the body site and how consistently treatment is followed. No result shown here is a prediction of yours.
Are the photographs edited?
No retouching, no relighting, no change of angle between the two images. The point of a standardised photograph is that it can be trusted.
Will my photographs be published?
Only if you sign a specific written consent for publication. Clinical photographs taken for your record are not publication consent, and you can decline either without affecting your treatment.
Can I withdraw consent later?
Yes, at any time and without giving a reason. The image is removed.
