Who is a good candidate for autologous melanocyte transplantation, and what are the contraindications?

Ideal candidates are individuals with stable vitiligo (no new or expanding white patches for at least 6–12 months) or other localized depigmentation conditions. The procedure works best on segmental or focal vitiligo, and on areas like the face, neck, and trunk. Contraindications include active or unstable vitiligo, a tendency to develop keloid scars, active infections at the treatment site, bleeding disorders, or pregnancy. A thorough dermatological evaluation is required to confirm stability and suitability.
