Cosmetic Consultation

Burn survivors have a desire to minimize the appearance of visible scars and replace loss of hair to increase self-esteem and acceptance of self-image.

Our Cosmetic Consultation program helps burn survivors improve their quality of life after and between surgeries by minimizing the appearance of physical scars. Burn survivors receive specialized corrective cosmetics and training on their application. All consultations are performed by a licensed aesthetician.

What is Cosmetic Consultation?

The Corrective Cosmetic Consultation Program helps burn survivors improve their quality of life after and in between surgeries by minimizing the appearance of physical scars. Specialized cosmetics are provided, in addition to instruction and assistance on their application.

Corrective Cosmetics

Corrective Cosmetics consists of a specialized approach to makeup which is much more than fashion cosmetics. A special foundation is used to properly conceal scars, disfigurements, and pigment abnormalities. Instruction with application technique includes the use of other cosmetics to enhance and flatter the client's features, helping them feel comfortable and confident in the look that has been achieved.
