About this listen

Vitiligo has always had a delivery problem. Creams can’t get past the skin’s outer “brick wall,” and systemic drugs hit the whole body.

Now, nanotechnology is changing that — turning microscopic carriers into smart delivery trucks that sneak medicine exactly where it’s needed.

In this episode:

  • Why most creams fail to reach pigment cells
  • How nano-formulations like liposomal khellin and ethosomal psoralens boost light therapy
  • What’s coming next — topical JAK inhibitors, antioxidant particles, even gene-editing patches

Nanotech isn’t a cure, but it’s making current treatments sharper, safer, and more precise.

The future of vitiligo therapy might just fit on the head of a pin.
