"People keep staring at me
because of the
white patches on my face."

"I'm afraid to meet
people because of
my vitiligo..."

This patient asked,
“I’ve been on various treatments
for vitiligo for 8 years,
but why isn’t it working?”

It's heartbreaking
to hear the question
from a patient
living in daily despair.

This patient initially
noticed a small white spot
on the arm and
didn’t think much of it.
However, over time,
the vitiligo spread and
eventually covered
the entire arm.

The patient had tried
ointments and light therapy,
but the vitiligo
kept getting worse.
While searching for a solution,
they came to our clinic through
a relative's recommendation.

The photo on the right
was taken one year after taking
HM-V and HM Saengsik.

When this patient
first visited our clinic,
they had severe vitiligo
across the entire arm.
Now, the condition has been
completely treated.

One year after the treatment,
we had a phone call, and
I received a message
of gratitude saying that
they’ve been doing well
and staying healthy.

This patient initially
noticed a small white spot
on the lower back and
didn’t think much of it.
However, over time,
the spot spread
from the lower back
to cover the entire back.

The patient had tried both
ointments and light therapy,
but the symptoms
gradually worsened.
While searching for a solution,
they came to our clinic
upon the recommendation
of a colleague.

The photo on the right
was taken 15 months after taking
HM-V and HM Saengsik.

When this patient
first visited our clinic,
the entire back was
severely affected by vitiligo.
Now, the condition has been
completely treated.

One year after the treatment,
we had a phone call, and
I received a message
of gratitude saying that
they’ve been doing well
and staying healthy.

"Doctor, can my vitiligo
really be cured?"

This is the most common question
from our vitiligo patients.

It would be more helpful
for patients to watch interviews
with other vitiligo patients
than for me to answer
this question directly.

I would like to
take this opportunity
to express my sincere
gratitude to these patients,
who participated in the filming
hoping to help others
with vitiligo.

HM Korean Medicine Clinic
is trusted by a diverse
range of patients from both
Korea and around the world.

So what is the reason
people come to HM Clinic,
even from distant and
unfamiliar countries?

"vitiligo takes a
greater toll
on the heart and mind
than it does on the skin."

HM Medical Clinic is committed
to creating a world
without vitiligo.

When patients
with vitiligo
visit us for the first time,
this is the question
I always ask first:

"In order to be healthy,
does our blood need
to be clean or dirty?"

Most patients respond,
“It should be clean.”

This time,
I rephrase the question slightly
and ask it like this:

"In order to treat vitiligo,
do you think the blood
needs to be clean or dirty?"

Again this time,
most patients respond,
“It should be clean.”

Most vitiligo patients
may not be doctors,
but they instinctively know
that clean blood
is essential for good health.

Now, let’s take a closer look
at the relationship between
blood and vitiligo.

Next, we’ll look at the
blood of a patient
who showed improvement
in their skin disease
after treatment at our hospital.

Unlike the vitiligo patients
described earlier,
this patient’s blood shows
round-shaped red blood cells
and clear plasma.

Why is the blood of
vitiligo patients
not as clean as
that of healthy individuals?

Then, let’s take a look
at some of the more
unusual blood videos
from skin patients
who visited HM Clinic.

Most vitiligo patients
are shocked when they see
these blood images.

They come to understand that
clean blood is essential
for good health—
and that vitiligo
can only be treated
when the blood is clean.

In healthy individuals,
the colon contains
many beneficial
lactic acid bacteria
and few harmful
putrefactive bacteria.

However, in patients,
the colon is often dominated
by putrefactive bacteria.

These bacteria cause food
to decay and produce toxins,
which are referred to as intestinal toxins.

The large intestine of
a healthy individual
hosts a variety of
microorganisms—including
bacteria, viruses, fungi, and yeast—
that play important
physiological roles such as
aiding digestion,
regulating immunity, and
facilitating nutrient absorption.

Lactobacillus helps
ferment dietary fiber,
while Bacteroides and Prevotella
break down polysaccharides and
regulate the immune system.

Bifidobacterium contributes
to stabilizing
the intestinal environment,
promoting the growth of
beneficial bacteria,
and enhancing immune function.

These intestinal bacteria
help prevent pathogenic infections
by inhibiting harmful microbes
from colonizing the colon,
strengthen the tight junctions of
intestinal epithelial cells,
block the penetration of toxins
and pathogens through
the intestinal barrier,
purify the blood, and
contribute to
maintaining healthy skin.

In the colons of
vitiligo patients,
beneficial bacteria such as
Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus
are significantly reduced.

As a result,
the microbial diversity in the colon
is significantly reduced,
while harmful bacteria
such as Clostridium difficile
and Staphylococcus increase.

These harmful bacteria
produce substances such as LPS,
which promote
inflammatory responses
and worsen vitiligo
through the bloodstream.

The detoxification treatment
at HM Clinic improves
the intestinal environment
to promote colon detox,

supports liver detoxification
by enhancing liver function,

purifies the blood by
eliminating blood toxin,

and removes
inflammatory substances
from the skin
to aid in skin detox.

HM-V is prescribed by HM clinic team
as a personalized treatment,
tailored 1:1 to the type and
severity of the patient’s
vitiligo symptoms.

Here are some of the
medicinal plants
included in HM-V.

These medicinal ingredients help
detoxify toxins from the
liver, colon, blood, and skin.
Their powerful
anti-inflammatory effects
help reduce skin inflammation
and support the treatment of
vitiligo.

All herbal ingredients
used at HM Clinic
are sourced exclusively from
suppliers certified with HGMP,
the Korean Ministry of
Food and Drug Safety’s standard
for Good Manufacturing and
Quality Control Practices
for herbal medicine,
to ensure safe and
reliable treatment.
