Yes there is a treatment that does just that. Most people who have the condition don't choose to go that route from what I understand as it is a lengthy and painful process. Those that do only tend to do face and hands as they are the typically exposed areas. Jackson was one of the few that apparently tried to do his whole body.

There is black TV anchor from Detroit (I think) that talked about the disease after Jackson died and talked about the difficult decisions he is being faced with as the condition becomes more and more evident.
