    First of all, the symptoms are not the same. The main symptom of vitiligo in the elderly is the appearance of white patches on the body, but the color and symptoms of vitiligo change over time. If vitiligo is effective**, the white patches are likely to disappear, and if the vitiligo is not obtained in time**, the white patches will spread, resulting in the formation of large white patches.

    Age-related vitiligo is different from vitiligo, and it is manifested by the appearance of white patches on the body. However, this white patch does not disappear and does not spread over time.

    Secondly, the principle of pathogenesis is different. Vitiligo in the elderly is mainly caused by the lack of melanin in the body, and there are many reasons for its onset, such as dietary factors, mental factors, mechanical bruises and ultraviolet radiation. The reason for the appearance of senile vitiligo is mainly due to the aging of the human body, the gradual decline of antioxidants in the body and other factors, which is essentially different from the onset of vitiligo.

    The elderly suffer from vitiligo, if it is not timely **, the white spots will spread in a large area, not only have a certain impact on the appearance of the elderly, but also have a very significant impact on the physical function and psychology, data show that the number of people suffering from vitiligo suicide or suicide in the elderly accounts for a certain proportion. Age-related vitiligo does not appear in this condition, it is just a manifestation of human weakness, no need to **, this is a step that everyone has to go through, and it will not cause particularly serious harm to the physical and mental health of the patient.

    The number of white patches varies from patient to patient, and as the disease becomes severe, the number of white patches increases, and there may be large patches. The number of vitiligo varies from one part of the body to another, generally speaking, the number of leukoplakia in localized vitiligo is small, mainly confined to one part of the body; In segmental vitiligo, white patches are located in a nerve segment (or dermatome). As the disease progresses, the number of leukoplakia will gradually increase, and adjacent leukoplakia can also merge with each other to form an irregular large patch, which will spread all over the body, like a map.

    When the disease progresses to generalized vitiligo, the number of white patches is generally high, but it is less common in the early stage of vitiligo.

The elderly are different, due to the characteristics of old age and frailty, low immunity, and the general illness time is longer, so in addition to bearing the appropriate and useful treatment plan for vitiligo, it is also necessary to develop a good living habit according to the physical condition. The vitiligo is very complicated, although there are many drugs and methods, but due to the physical condition and the length of the disease, the age of vitiligo is relatively slow, and it will take a long time to take effect, and it is best to adhere to it for a longer time when using a method.

    Otherwise, the medicine is often changed, and the drug has not had time to be absorbed. Once resistance has developed, it is possible that any drug will have no effect. In addition, for elderly patients with vitiligo, it is very important to develop vitiligo as soon as possible.

    Studies have shown that the excimer laser can increase the volume of melanocytes, lengthen the dendrites, increase the activity of tyrosinase, and enhance the ability of melanocytes to synthesize black. At the same time, the immunosuppressive effect on the epidermis is also one of the mechanisms of action of vitiligo. The Xtrac Excimer Laser** System has passed rigorous validation with excellent clinical performance and is currently the only laser device approved for vitiligo by the US FDA and SFDA in China. The contract is guaranteed, and after 308nm excimer laser therapy, patients can witness the disappearance of vitiligo on the spot, without hospitalization, without surgery, with treatment, the best hospital for vitiligo, and the lowest cost of vitiligo in the country.
