At Dermatology Clinics Australia, we understand that vitiligo is a complex autoimmune condition that affects far more than just skin tone-it impacts confidence, identity, and quality of life. That’s why, through our Centre of Excellence, we have developed a specialised Vitiligo Clinic with the most advanced, dermatologist-led treatment protocols to slow progression, restore pigment, and support emotional wellbeing.
Led by expert procedural dermatologist Dr Shobhan Manoharan and supported by a multidisciplinary team, our vitiligo programs deliver personalised care for patients of all ages and skin types. Dr Manoharan has a special interest in vitiligo and has been actively involved in vitiligo research and treatment for over 15 years. He is the Queensland Dermatologist Representative for the Vitiligo Association of Australia and one of the few practitioners in the country offering specialised repigmentation therapies.
Vitiligo is an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks melanocytes-the cells responsible for skin pigment. This results in white patches of skin that can appear anywhere on the body, often progressing over time.
Triggers may include genetics, oxidative stress, or previous trauma to the skin. Our team provides early diagnosis, supportive treatment, and long-term monitoring to manage and minimise pigment loss.
We provide customised treatment pathways for all types of vitiligo:
The most common form, often appearing symmetrically on both sides of the body.
Appears on one area of the body, often with earlier onset and faster progression.
Localised to one or a few small areas, usually stable.
Widespread pigment loss affecting over 80% of the body
Combination of segmental and non-segmental patterns.
