Dr. Anna Chacon; groundbreaking Dermatologist, respected author, indigenous health advocate and Miami native is now one of the few Dermatologists in the world to offer Monobenzone treatment and monitoring of advanced extensive and generalized Vitiligo. Dr. Anna’s dedication to providing tailor-made treatment plans for her patients has helped her create a flourishing local office in Miami and a thriving telemedicine practice. Now, with the addition of this sought after treatment for her Vitiligo patients, she continues to expand her expert level of care to include this hard to find, sought after approach to this chronic skin condition.
Vitiligo is a skin condition that causes white spots or patches on the skin’s surface. Caused by depigmentation due to melanin cells that stop functioning, these patches are lighter in color then the rest of the skin or in some cases appear as completely white areas. The condition tends to spread over time and though there is no known cure, using Monobenzone as a treatment has shown to provide a more uniform, consistent skin tone.
Monobenzone works as a depigmenting agent that permanently lightens the skin. For patients with widespread vitiligo, Monobenzone helps achieve an even skin tone by lightening the unaffected areas to match the depigmented patches. This approach is particularly beneficial for those with extensive vitiligo, where restoring pigmentation is not feasible. The treatment involves a careful application process, monitored closely by Dr. Chacon, to ensure optimal results and minimize side effects, such as irritation or sensitivity.
Dr. Anna’s in-person and telehealth assessments offer unmatched care for not only advanced Vitiligo but any skin conditions that require personalized recommendations and treatment. From diagnosis and treatment plans for conditions such as acne, melasma, rosacea, warts, psoriasis, and eczema to providing injectables like Botox® and fillers, cosmetic microneedling and light therapies; her Miami office and teledermatology practices are truly full-service.
