Dermaflage

Dermaflage is a synthetic skin product used to conceal scars and indented areas in the skin. Produced and marketed by Silicone Arts Labs in Memphis, TN, the product is applied topically and uses a thin layer of translucent silicone to replicate both the tone and texture of the recipient’s skin.
Dermaflage is used primarily by consumers for everyday concealment of recessed scars and blemishes; however, it is also utilized by some professional makeup artists in order to create lifelike skin textures for special effects in film. It was released commercially in 2011.
History
Founded in 2010, Silicone Arts Laboratories (Dermaflage’s producer) was formed in order to create a consumer product based on a skin concealment technology developed in Hollywood special effects. After a 200-person pilot study in 2011, the company expanded manufacturing operations in Memphis, Tn and prepared the product and packaging for commercial sale in 2012.
In 2014, Silicone Arts Laboratories was recruited as a participant in Dallas-based healthcare accelerator Health Wildcatters. The firm raised $1.5 million in an equity funding round in 2015 led by Tennessee-based investor Innova.
Hollywood
While the bulk of Dermaflage’s customers are consumers that use the product for everyday scar concealment, Dermaflage is also used by several Hollywood makeup professionals for its ability to create lifelike skin alterations. Makeup artists who use the product include Academy Award-winners Bill Corso and Kim Greene. The Dermaflage trademark is protected in the U.S. USPTO.
