DERMAFLAGE
Conceals Scars Instantly Silicone Filler for the Face
When I was 26 I had skin cancer (melanoma) directly under my right eye. I remember raging at the poor old Italian man who was the unlucky person to be my plastic surgeon. “Trust me,” he said, “I am the best.” “Why should I trust you,” I said, “it’s not your FACE!.”
We argued – a lot – but when I finally got on the table Dr. Cappalano performed a miracle. I only have fewer wrinkles on that side of my face under my eye! But I wish I had Dermaflage then so many years ago as I was so embarrassed as I healed to go to work with no makeup! It was real to me and terrifying!
When I read about Dermaflage, a topical skin filler made in Hollywood for special effects that uses silicone, and looks like real skin, I was intrigued. What a great product for my readers!
Dermaflage covers and fills recessed areas on the skin/face and it is the “first at home cosmetic that fuctions as a second skin to fully cover skin cancer scars on the face or body.” It is translucent and moves with your skin as well as being waterproof.

The application process is almost exactly the same as applying makeup (but do not apply foundation over the Dermaflage application on your face).
Three simple steps:
- prime skin
- apply Dermaflage
- texture with the included applicators.
Dermaflage is great for wrinkles, acne and chicken pox scars also! I have only tried the product once with good results. Like any product, it takes a couple of tries for me to “get it down.” I found it simple and it works! The Dermaflage went onto my skin easily and covered beautifully. I could not get over how realistic the product looked. And what a great way to affordably cover scars and blemishes that would require surgery or botox or other expensive methods to fix. No more surgery for me!
Here is the Dermflage YouTube video so you can see for yourself:
The Dermaflage Starter Kit with everything in it that you need for 60 to 200 applications can be found at www.dermaflage.com and costs about $50.00. You can also find it on Amazon.com.
Dermaflage says:
- Silicone that looks like real sin fills in recessed skin imperfections
- Applied like any cosmetic, it lasts for 36 hours and is waterproof
- Non-invasive
- Dermatologist and clinically tested
The product is okay for very small scars. It will flake if used in larger scars where more of the product is applied. It is very expensive.
This has been a life saver for me! I actually have a large scar from a scar accident on my forehead and do not have any issues with peeling- it lasts all day and takes some effort to remove at night. I do use the extended wear primer, though because I have oily skin.
Not what I thought!
I just recently ordered the frown lines package and I watched youtube and tutorials on this. I was really excited to receive it and start trying it and after going through half of a tube trying to get it right I had to quit and try again the following day. I put it on this morning and noticed that my make up looks really weird on it. I met my sister n law and she leaned over and said I need to get that dry skin off of your forehead and peeled off the dermaflage! Embarrassing and I had a mark there where the make up was not and had to come home due to looking like a cyclops. If it doesn’t stay adhered it does look like dry skin and you definitely can see it in the sun. I am no expert but I am certain you have to be to use this product.
We didn’t find that issue with Dermaflage. Did you use the same brand?
This product actually does a good job of concealing a large pore that I have had for several years. I’ve tried to have it surgically removed but it keeps coming back. I’ve tried many products and Dermaflage works for this small area. It takes some time to perfect your technique, along with getting the exact color and learning how to dispense a very small amount, but once you get it down, it does work. I will be re-ordering this product. I do not wear make up over the product, I simply use a colorless powder to mat the product.
