Cost of Vitiligo Treatment in Cuba (Melagenin Plus)

Understanding Treatment Costs

The cost of vitiligo treatment in Cuba varies based on the extent of depigmentation, the duration of the in-clinic phase, the amount of take-home medication needed, and the patient's individual treatment plan. Because each program is personalized following a dermatological evaluation, costs are quoted individually after the medical team reviews the patient's case.

SMC Salud provides transparent cost estimates as part of the treatment proposal, with a detailed breakdown of all services and no hidden charges.

What the Program Typically Includes

A comprehensive vitiligo treatment program with Melagenin Plus in Cuba typically includes:

• Dermatological assessment — Clinical examination, Wood's lamp mapping, autoimmune blood panel, and baseline photography. • Melagenin Plus medication — Topical medication for in-clinic application and take-home supply. • In-clinic treatment (2-4 weeks) — Daily application sessions with controlled sun exposure or phototherapy, under dermatological supervision. • Application training — Detailed instruction on proper self-application technique for home continuation. • Phototherapy sessions — If indicated, controlled UV exposure sessions in the clinic. • Accommodation — Hotel accommodation for the patient and an accompanying family member. • Interpreter services — Professional medical interpreters in Arabic, English, Turkish, French, German, and other languages. • International patient coordination — 24/7 access to coordinators. • Medical report — Documentation of treatment, progress photos, and home care recommendations. • Telemedicine follow-up — Continued consultation after returning home.

The specific combination and duration determines the total program cost.

Factors Affecting Cost & Payment

Variables influencing cost include the extent of body surface affected (more extensive vitiligo requires more medication), in-clinic treatment duration, amount of take-home medication supplied, accommodation level, and number of accompanying family members.
