Camouflage comes from the French word “Camoufler,” which means “to the blind” or “to veil.” It means to disguise an object in plain sight in order to conceal it from something or someone. It is also known as defensive concealment.

A safe technique called vitiligo camouflage fills up vitiligo areas with pigments that blend in with the surrounding skin.

Every customer receives a bespoke color application on the day of their consultation. The healing process begins once skin pigments are used to cover up the vitiligo (around 3 weeks). The vitiligo area looks the same color as the surrounding skin after healing. Usually, three sessions are required for this treatment, however, the number of sessions can vary depending on how severe the illness is. Vitiligo Camouflage Permanent Makeup is an exceptionally efficient vitiligo treatment. The effects are immediate and last up to three years without washing off.

Types of Camouflage

Remedial cosmetic cover creams can help disguise vitiligo blemishes, at least temporarily. A high concentration of pigment is mixed with water-free or anhydrous foundations to provide a color that matches the patient’s skin, disguising vitiligo patches.

Permanent camouflage is micropigment with a cosmetic micro pigmentation. As opposed to ritual or symbolic micro pigmentation inks, cosmetic micro pigmentation are inert iron oxides available in over 15 hues. The pigment is implanted into the dermis layer using specific procedures and is not washable.

Camouflage improves an individual’s look because the focus is no longer on the discoloration that the person seeks to conceal, resulting in increased confidence and self-esteem. Camouflage is thus the most preferred treatment option for vitiligo.
