Skin Repigmentation is the process of returning areas of skin that lack pigment back to its natural state. The technique begins by mixing skin tone pigments that best match the skin surrounding the affected area. A knowledge of the skin’s undertones is essential to add the right mix so that a good match is made. A natural redhead, a natural brunette, or a person of asian descent or color would each require special attention to assure a good skin match. A follow-up visit, four weeks later is recommended for any touch up that may be necessary.
Skin conditions in this category are vitiligo, birth marks, burns, acne scars, accident scars, and conditions like dark circles and facial discolorations including age or liver spots may also be included. A consultation is recommended. A dermatologist should be consulted when a spot to be camouflaged is questionable.
