Re-pigmentation was analyzed on the basis of baseline photographs after 6 months post procedure. Degree of re-pigmentation was estimated to the nearest of one of the following percentages and the final outcome of re-pigmentation for statistical analysis was graded as: &gt;70% re-pigmentation: Good; 30-69% re-pigmentation: Fair and; &lt;30% re-pigmentation: Poor.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean age of study group was 29.79 \u00b1 13.8 with 52% males and 48% females. Out of total 50 patients, 31 (62%) patients showed good re-pigmentation, 10 (20%) showed fair re-pigmentation while 9 (18%) patients showed poor re-pigmentation. Patches over face, lips, trunk and legs showed good re-pigmentation, however patches over acral areas and bony prominences had poor re-pigmentation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Autologous non-cultured melanocyte transfer have an edge over the other modalities, however, proper patient selection, proper technique and good laboratory set up is required.
