My guest is a young athlete whose vitiligo has not only made his life aesthetically difficult. For years, he tried different solutions to cover up the patches that appeared on his skin.
Unfortunately, these products (foundations, creams, etc.) did not prove to be effective, as they sweated off during training. This made her daily routine rather uncomfortable.
In our culture, our face is the only part of our body that we do not cover. Therefore, we have to face the daily challenge of vitiligo spots, which in most cases appear on the face first.
This young man was - quite understandably - looking for a long-term and permanent solution to enable him to train and go about his daily life without disruption.
It came to me from very far away. He drove several hours to get the treatment. He came to see me twice. The first time was for the treatment itself, the second time was for a post-operative correction.
Correction is important because it allows us to see how the dye has integrated into the skin. At this stage, you can still change the shades.
In the vitiligo camouflage technique, the incorporation of pigments into the skin is different to that of a brow tattoo. This is because vitiligo tattooing we use special paints that have been developed specifically for these areas.
The basis for this work is colour theory. It is extremely important to choose the right colour to be applied to the skin. The vitiligo stain should be matched to healthy skin.
Long-term effectiveness is also important! If the colour is not chosen correctly, the pigment injected into the skin can discolour over time, even turning orange. This is very important to avoid, because a discoloured tattoo cannot be corrected.
The photo clearly shows the result of the right colour choice. The aesthetic restoration of the skin surface is perfect. It has also made this young athlete's everyday life much more comfortable, because he no longer has to worry about covering up his skin every day.
You don't need vitiligo to make your everyday life miserable! Makeup tattooing is a permanent solution to make life with vitiligo complete!
