    ciao Brian, i wrote it in another post, i discovered that two people i know had a pretty extensive vitiligo and for few years now neither me nor my husband ever realised they had it (and they were shorts/skirt all the time)...they are australians and they had been using microskin since it started....they explained to me that they scan your skin in all the areas where u have patches (ie.if you are white your tummy is usually paler than your arms). They did a scan of their skin in winter, spring and summer so they have all the different tones. I discovered they have it because i was talking about my son and making this big tragedy out of it...when they told me i thought they must have had just few patches in some obscure place but then they showed themseles without microskin and we were pretty amazed...definetely worth trying i think!

      yeah its pretty pricey but if its as good as it seems I will pay for it! lol. my vit isn't bad yet so it should be a little cheaper for me right now. im just concerned about having to put it on everyday, i do that now with makeup but if im paying that much I wish it could last longer and im not sure if it will smudge like makeup or come off on clothes. i know its not a cure and i should tame my expectations but with that price tag I have and should have big expectations. I will keep everyone posted if i decide to try it.

       

      lia, if you could get any more information from them that would be great.

        I'm thinking some of the expense is for the compressor that sprays the makeup.

    I want to hear more about this microskin stuff lol. I looked at the website this stuff seems pretty serious. I'm sure it cost alot but come on now... I don't care how much it costs if it is as good as advertised!

     

    Does anyone know how much it costs? I guess i could email them...

      I remember reading somewhere it cost between $1000-3500 depending on the package you got. I'm not sure, I could be totally wrong on that, I do know that it is very very expensive.
      • Jennifer Siler > Jennifer Siler July 27, 2011 at 4:58pm
        Just wanted to add.. I think the package is a 6 month package or something like that. And in the US it's only available through a doctor in NYC.

          I'm going to email them and find out. NYC is only 2 1/2 hours south of me so that's not a big deal. But a couple grand is pretty steep for what is essentially just makeup. thanks

            Yup, I could be wrong though so let us know what you find out! I'm only about 4 hours from NYC...if I could afford it I probably would look into it.

              Ok, I exchanged a couple e-mails with them (Microskin) first you need to book a 45 minute consultation in their office in NYC. This cost $150.

              If you decide to purchase a "package" that $150 goes towards it. you book another appointment, that same day if you want. a 6 month package costs between $710-$2300.  after that it can cost between $80-$150 a month depending on the package you get. they take a computer scan of your skin and match it perfectly it looks pretty legit. definitely alot of money though. but they have payment plans

                Definitely let us know if you decide to use it!! :)
