Camouflage Cosmetics

Dr. Revis wants to minimize the time you spend away from social activities following your cosmetic procedure. Therefore, he advocates the use of camouflage cosmetics, which are hypoallergenic and fragrance free to avoid irritating your skin. Camouflage cosmetics are specially formulated to be skin friendly and will disguise any bruising or other discoloration that may occur in the immediate postoperative period.

Most patients are able to apply these products within a few days to one week following surgery. Dr. Revis has each of his facial cosmetic surgery patients discuss their current makeup techniques with an aesthetician trained in the application of camouflage cosmetics. The aesthetician will help you select the proper formulation of products and colors based on your preferences and current makeup techniques. After surgery, a repeat visit with the aesthetician will assist you in implementing this program.

Camouflage cosmetics accomplish three main objectives, they Conceal, Color, and Contour. Concealers are primarily used to hide scars and bruising. Colors are used to correct or neutralize any discoloration from bruising that might occur following surgery. Contouring can be used to camouflage swelling while it subsides and to lend more definition to your facial features.

In addition to enhancing the results achieved through surgery and restoring your active social life, camouflage cosmetics are also recommended for everyday use. Many of Dr. Revis' patients elect to continue their use of these special cosmetics once they have tried them following surgery.

Introducing Jane Iredale- The Skin Care Makeup

Jane Iredale's "Beauty with Benefits" combines the most up-to-date colors with skin-care benefits that conventional makeups can only envy:

Non-comedogenic and oil-free, will not block pores
Virtually no allergy risk because there are no perfumes, preservatives, or dyes
Broad-spectrum built in UVB and UVA protection - SPF 20

Known as The Skin Care Makeup, the Jane Iredale line is a highly-sophisticated blend of minerals and pigments that are micro-pulverized, using proprietary technology and processes to form microscopic flat crystals. These crystals overlap each other on the skin to form a filter that allows the skin to breathe and function normally while still protecting it from air-borne pollutants and harmful ultraviolet rays. The staying power of the minerals is so great that they rarely need a touch-up during the day. And because these silky-feeling powders are water resistant, they won't crease or smear even during the most strenuous exercise. These state-of-the-art minerals are available in so many colors that there's one for every complexion no matter what the ethnicity.

We offer free makeovers once a month to introduce our patients to this remarkable line of skin-friendly makeup. To schedule your appointment, please call the office at (954) 630-2009.
