How long will it be before I see Novitil's results?
Generally the first signs of new coloring begin to appear within the first month of daily application of the product combined with sunlight exposure. When artificial UV light is used, the first signs of repigmentation may take longer to appear as these treatments initially need a period of time in which the dose is very slowly increased. When depigmentation is located on hands and feet it may take up to three months or even more before showing the first signs of repigmentation.
How will I know that the product is working?
Not everybody will see the same type of response. It may occur in any of the following ways:
1. New colour starts from the borders of the spots towards the inside (see testimonial, case #1).
2. Small dots of colour inside the spot appear and then begin to expand until they cover the spots (see testimonial, case #1 and #2).
3. The entire spot may change colour starting with pink, then light brown and finally the normal colour (see testimonial, case #3).
4. Finally, it is possible to observe a combination of all or any of the above.
How long will the results last?
Results are permanent. It is not possible to predict if new areas of depigmentation may appear as it depends on the underlying skin condition. The early use of the product would provide optimal results in case of new depigmentation.
Is there anything else I should do in addition to applying Novitil?
You need to expose the areas of skin depigmentation to direct sunlight, starting at about 5 minutes of exposure and increasing sun exposure by 5 minutes a day until reaching 30 minutes. Only depigmented areas need sunlight exposure. The rest of the body can be covered. Protect your eyes with sunglasses. If sun exposure is hard to obtain regularly or simply for greater convenience and privacy, Novitil can also be used in combination with artificial ultraviolet light (UVA, UVB). Please click here for more information about usage.
Yes, it is. Nutrition is important to enhance the function of the immune system and to protect the skin. A supplement that includes the main vitamins and mineral is important to help the repigmentation process in cases of vitiligo. For more information please click here.
Infrared light (heat lamp), from a distance of 45 to 50 cm, for half an hour after using the gel is useful as a complement. However, it should always be combined with a sufficient amount of sunlight exposure. Please click here for more information about usage.
I have decided to have Ultraviolet light exposure, would I benefit from Novitil?
Regular use of Novitil may be combined with an artificial source of Ultraviolet light (UV) (instead of sunlight exposure). The benefits of adding Novitil to a schedule of UV light treatment include more complete results and shorter duration of treatment (decreasing amount of UV light, and risk of side effects). Artificial ultraviolet light should only be used following directions from someone who is appropriately qualified, and has experience regarding its use in cases of depigmentation.
How long will I have to use Novitil?
Typically, either complete results or substantial improvement are obtained within six months.
Do some areas of the skin respond to Novitil faster than others?
Spots in the face, neck, chest, abdomen, inguinal, and perianal regions, and legs response faster. Depigmentation on the hands and feet take longer. The tip of the fingers is particularly difficult. In cases where the condition has been evident for many years, response to depigmentation treatment with a duration of many years, response to repigmentation treatment in the hands and feet may be slower.
What should I do if I get new spots in other parts of my body?
Start applying Novitil as soon as possible, the earlier you use it, the sooner you get results.
How long do I leave Novitil on the white spots?
Do not wash the treated area for at least 2 hours. Novitil dries quickly so it does not represent any inconvenience. Leaving Novitil on the treated areas should cause no discomfort.
How often should I use the product?
Twice a day. Please click here for more information about usage.
People with skin depigmentation.
What kind of white spot skin problems will benefit from Novitil?
Novitil helps the pigmentation system of the skin work naturally so that the skin may regain its normal, natural colour. It will help in most cases of skin discolorations from light white spots to achromias (total loss of pigmentation). The most important cause of skin depigmentation is Vitiligo. Please click here for more information about the main types of skin hypopigmentation.
Are there any white spots that will not benefit from Novitil?
Some common skin white spots are caused by fungus (Pityriasis versicolor/alba), click here to learn more. These kinds of white spots require a product to kill the fungus. As always, in case of doubt, see a physician.
As soon as white spots appear, for the best results.
If I feel a mild itching in the treated areas, should I stop using Novitil?
No. Some people feel an itching sensation right before pigmentation begins. It may be likened to the sensation experienced when a wound is healing.
Will Novitil irritate very sensitive skin?
No, it does not irritate or harm the skin.

What is the cause of Vitiligo?
Can Vitiligo
be associated to other conditions?

How is Vitiligo diagnosis made?
I have a difficult case of Vitiligo, how can get the most out of Novitil?
Where
can I obtain additional information and support?
Vitiligo is a an autoimmune condition that causes skin depigmentation. It takes the form of skin white spots with a sharp margin and a milk white color. The normal texture and sensation of the skin are preserved. No scaling occurs.
Leucoderma is just another name for vitiligo: "leuco" means white and "derma" refers to the skin (Greek root).
What is the cause of Vitiligo?
Vitiligo is the result of the
damage or death of the skin’s melanocytes. There are different theories
about the cause of vitiligo:
(1) The body’s immune system may destroy melanocytes. Pigment may be destroyed as the body responds to a substance it perceives as
foreign (the most accepted theory).
(2) There is genetic defect that makes the melanocytes susceptible to injury.
(3)
Abnormally functioning nerve cells may produce toxic substances that injure melanocytes
(4) Melanocytes self-destruction. While pigment is forming, toxic byproducts could
be produced injuring and destroying melanocytes.
Researchers believe that a combination of these theories may provide the
best explanation.
Can Vitiligo be associated to other conditions?
Yes, in a small number of people it can be associated to other autoimmune disorders (Click here for more information), however most vitiligo patients are in good health.
Can stress trigger or worsen Vitiligo?
