A: Camouflage cosmetics and makeup products to conceal or caover a scar or pigmentation

There are several options. Of course permanent makeup i.e. tattoo is not truly permanent and does fade and require touchup. This may be an option. Alternatively, Dermablend was the industry standard for many years. At this point in time there are many camouflage cosmetics available at various beauty supply retail outlets such as Ulta3, Sephora, Sally's Beauty Supply, Bliss etc, Plan on spending acouple of hours in the store and trying a combination of products that best suit your needs and budget.

How Long is the Recovery from Permanent Eye Makeup?

how long does the swelling & red skin & bruising last for permanant eye makeup and any pictures?

A: Permanent makeup and an easy recovery

Bruising tends to be minimal if you avoid aspirin like products and post-operatively elevate your head, apply ice and avoid strenous activity. Discuss this with an  experienced practitioner prior to treatment.

Would Lip Wrinkles Affect Permanent Makeup Results?

About cosmetic dermatology: I want to have a Permanent makeup on my lips. But I'm an older lady and I have wrinkles surrounding my lips, they are little vertical lines all around the lips.

Would anyone know whether these vertical lines or wrinkles around my lips would interfere with the end result of a good permanent lip makeup? Thanks ever so very much!

A: Use of fillers to efface wrinkles can be useful prior to permanent makeup

I occasionally work with an aesthetician who performs micropigmentation. She has commented and actually prefers that a filler be placed prior to pigmentation because it makes her job easier to apply a smooth border to the lips. Discuss this with your professional.
