Key Benefits & Medical Uses

Permanent Depigmentation Therapy

Monobenzone 60% Cream is indicated for patients with disseminated vitiligo, typically affecting more than 50% of the body surface area. It is used to permanently lighten remaining pigmented skin so it matches existing depigmented (vitiliginous) areas.

Ultra-High Potency Formula

The 60% concentration represents a heavy-duty treatment option and is generally reserved for:

• Resistant vitiligo cases

• Areas with thicker or less responsive skin

• Patients requiring advanced depigmentation under strict medical guidance

How Monobenzone 60% Works

Monobenzone accelerates the removal of melanin from skin cells and induces the destruction of melanocytes, the cells responsible for pigment production. Continued application leads to gradual but irreversible depigmentation, resulting in a more uniform skin appearance.

Application Information

• Application Area: Normally pigmented skin only

• Frequency: As directed by a qualified healthcare provider

• Results Timeline: Visible changes may begin over several months of consistent use

• Maintenance Phase: Once uniform depigmentation is achieved, application frequency may be reduced under medical supervision to maintain results
