Innovations in skin camouflaging techniques: Where are we scientifically?

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:Cutaneous disorders can impact on the psycho-social well-being of children and adults alike, which has been reviewed elsewhere (Body Image 27, 2018 and 98). The present review sets out to evaluate progressions in skin masking and camouflaging techniques together with evaluating the efficacy of these. There does not appear to have been any recent reviews about innovations in skin camouflaging techniques. METHODS:Using the National Centre for Biotechnology Information PubMed database, a search was made for all studies published between 2000 and 2019 that met defined inclusion criteria. A total of seven relevant publications were identified. RESULTS:Of the seven studies identified, skin camouflaging improved quality of life in three studies and reduced anxiety, depression and social isolation in others. Of the camouflaging methods used, liquidized simulated second skin technology (Microskin™) appears to look particularly promising. This method of colour matching and a spray/stippling application uses a technology that binds to the epidermis of the skin helping to overcome previous concerns about the colour, coverage and application of camouflage and masking bases. Two studies showed that this innovative mode of camouflaging raised confidence, feelings of happiness and social experiences in children and adolescents with burn scarring. Very few studies reported drawbacks of camouflaging techniques, with limited colour matches and 'itching' appearing to be the main shortcomings. New technologies now appear to be addressing these. CONCLUSION:Results show that there is wide variation in the quality and modes of skin camouflaging. Of the methods used, simulated second skin technology appears to be an important and effective therapy for individuals with cutaneous skin disorders. Training schemes along with increased awareness of this technique must now be communicated to medical professionals who come into contact with children and adults who could benefit physically, psychologically and socially from this therapy. OBJECTIF:Les troubles cutanés pouvant avoir un impact sur le bien-être psychosocial des enfants et des adultes a été examiné ailleurs. La présente revue vise à évaluer les progressions dans les techniques de masquage et de camouflage de la peau ainsi qu'à évaluer l'efficacité de ces techniques. Il ne semble pas y avoir eu de critiques récentes sur les innovations dans les techniques de camouflage de la peau. MÉTHODES: À l'aide de la base de données pubmed du Centre national d'information sur la biotechnologie, une recherche a été effectuée sur toutes les études publiées entre 2000 et 2019 qui satisfaisaient aux critères d'inclusion définis. Au total, sept publications pertinentes ont été identifiées. RÉSULTATS: Des sept études identifiées, le camouflage de peau a amélioré la qualité de vie dans trois études et a réduit l'inquiétude, la dépression et l'isolement social dans les autres. Parmi les méthodes de camouflage utilisées, la technologie simulée de la seconde peau (MicroskinTM) semble particulièrement prometteuse. Cette méthode d’appariement des couleurs et d’application par pulvérisation / par points utilise une technologie qui se lie à l’épiderme de la peau, ce qui permet de surmonter les problèmes de couleur, de couverture et d’application des bases de camouflage et de masquage. Deux études ont montré que ce mode de camouflage novateur augmentait la confiance, le sentiment de bonheur et les expériences sociales chez les enfants et les adolescents atteints de brûlures. Très peu d’études ont signalé les inconvénients des techniques de camouflage, les correspondances de couleurs limitées et les «démangeaisons» semblant être les principales lacunes. Les nouvelles technologies semblent maintenant répondre à ces problèmes. CONCLUSION:Les résultats montrent qu'il existe une grande variation dans la qualité et les modes de camouflage de la peau. Parmi les méthodes utilisées, la technologie de la seconde peau simulée semble être un traitement important et efficace pour les personnes souffrant de troubles cutanés. Les programmes de formation associés à une sensibilisation accrue à cette technique doivent maintenant être communiqués aux professionnels de la santé qui entrent en contact avec des enfants et des adultes susceptibles de tirer un bénéfice physique, psychologique et social de cette thérapie.
