Scars and their appearance are always a personal
matter, no matter how big or small. In my eyes they are all equally important.
With scars there is always an answer, you simply have to ask.
Automobile accidents are devastating. The face in the mirror
no longer resembles the face we knew before the accident. Coping with
the emotional and sometimes brutal physical changes in appearance can
be overwhelming.
I also work with many types of plastic surgery scars such
as:
Breast reductions
Tummy tucks
Face lifts
Laser treatments
Scar camouflage is considered a complex pigmenting procedure often requiring
several applications and techniques for blending and natural appearance.
How Does
Scar Camouflage Work?
Permanent makeup, micropigmentation, or dermagraphics, is
the process of depositing microns of colored pigment into the dermal layer
of the skin. Restoration of eyebrows, lips, eyeliner, camouflaging skin
imperfections and scars are helping men and women regain
self-esteem and confidence after tragedy. Dermagraphics by Miller offers
a large range of pigments and provides customized color combinations to
ensure the closest possible match to your natural skin color.
In many cases multiple surgeries are required to restore
facial features. When plastic surgery ends, permanent makeup and scar
camouflaging begins, recreating a normal appearance as artistically and
scientifically as possible.
It's Not Just For Women!
Men with patches of facial scars in their beard or moustache
often choose permanent makeup as a solution to topical makeup blending
pigment with the existing facial hair.

Eyebrows - Cuts and stitches
in the eyebrow area are the most common injuries leaving scars and bald
areas that never fill in. Individual brow strokes can be applied to simulate
eyebrow hairs eliminating the need for daily eyebrow pencil application.
Eyelashes - Techniques
with eyeliner are used and applied to fill in and mimic eyelashes on both
men and women .
Lips - Lip line and color
can be developed and restored in stages even in the worst cases. Custom
pigments are mixed according to the clients skin tone, ethnic background,
hair and eye color.
Blending - Personal photographs
are a great tool for redesign and restoration. The primary concern in
camouflage pigmentation is to correct skin color defects and the illusion
of smoother skin. Various techniques to blend skin tones such as adding
freckles may require additional visits. With patience the final goal is
achieved restoring self-image and self-esteem.

Are There
Risks / Drawbacks To Scar camouflage?
The only drawback to scar camoflage is that you will not be able to tan
the treated area. This procedure will not be successful for sunbathers,
since tanning permanently changes the amount of pigment and melanin in
your skin. Prolonged or consistent exposure to the sun will detract from
the desired effect and may cause discoloration.

What Is The
First Step?
Consultations are a must prior to any permanent makeup procedure
to develop and design a treatment plan. It's important to understand possibilities
and limitations of permanent makeup that vary with each individual. The
facial restoration of a client may involve multiple sessions over a period
of months with extreme precision. Family members often accompany clients
offering their support and opinion.
