Camouflage

Make-up technique using specific colour products, to minimise cosmetically disturbing cutaneous colour, contour and texture changes by means of covering, waterproof, sweat-resistant, abrasion-resistant and light-protective special make-ups with long durability (camouflage). The applied colours are removed again with a special make-up remover cream. They can be left in place for several days.

Possible application indications (selection):

• Naevus flammeus, hemangioma, HIV-associated Kaposi sarcoma, telangiectasia, rosacea, reticular varices, chloasma, lentigines, ephelids, tattoo and other hyperpigmentations.
• Vitiligo, albinism, nevus depigmentosus and other acquired depigmentations, hypopigmentations, congenital hypomelanosis/amelanosis.
• Atrophic, skin level or hypertrophic scars, with disturbance of skin surface texture, striae cutis distensae/gravidarum.
• Chronic radiodermatitis: Cave! Regular check-ups are necessary because of possible malignant degeneration.
• Scars due to acne, lupus erythematodes chronicus discoides.
• Elastosis actinica, Xanthelasma
• Halo eye rings.

Notice! Camouflage is not a regular benefit of the GKV (normal lifestyle of the insured). The health insurance company may only cover the costs of camouflage upon application and only in the context of a decision in individual cases.
