Loss of pigment can occur in patches, as well, with the disease eventually ceasing to progress. Since vitiligo is a progressive condition, careful consideration should be taken before undergoing repigmentation with permanent makeup. If the affected area has not changed in a long time, permanent makeup can be an option to blend the affected area with the original skin tone. However, if pigment loss continues after the permanent makeup has been done, further blending would be difficult. W hen choosing permanent makeup for any of these procedures, it is important to find a technician experienced in these procedures and prepare to spend a good deal of time on follow up treatments.
Scar tissue is more difficult to penetrate than intact skin.
Blending color to match surrounding tissue also requires several treatments. Progressive revisions are necessary to create the best result. The skin must heal completely in order to reveal the outcome of the color as it blends with the skin's natural undertones. This healing time usually ranges between six to eight weeks.
