AB  - INTRODUCTION: A challenge of minimally invasive esthetic procedures (eg, 
      injectables and threads) is managing adverse events (AEs), such as 
      post-procedural bruising. Implementation of post-procedural camouflage therapy 
      may minimize the appearance of bruising and mitigate AEs. AIMS: A physician and 
      patient user experience program was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy 
      of a concealer for the cosmetic camouflage of post-procedural bruising. METHODS: 
      Thirty female patients with a mean age of 42.03 years participated in the 
      program. Physicians and patients completed various questionnaires regarding the 
      safety and efficacy of the investigational product (Dermablend Professional 
      Cover Care Full Coverage Concealer) at three timepoints: Visit 1 (Day 0); Visit 2 
      (Day 3); and Visit 3 (Day 14 +/- 3 days). RESULTS: All patients presented with 
      mild-to-moderate bruising following treatment with either esthetic injectables or 
      threads. On average, users required 1.55 (SD: 0.72) coats to sufficiently cover 
      their bruise(s). After application of the concealer, 78.18% of users displayed 
      "clear skin with no signs of erythema" and 21.82% displayed "almost clear skin, 
      with slight redness." No physician-reported AEs related to product use were 
      reported throughout the evaluation period. No allergic reactions upon application 
      nor intolerance to the product after prolonged use (ie, up to 14 days +/- 3 days) 
      was observed. Throughout the duration of use, 98.81% of subjects were at least 
      slightly satisfied with results. At Visits 1 and 2, 100% of physicians were at 
      least slightly satisfied with results. CONCLUSION: Cosmetic concealer use can 
      ameliorate the post-procedural experience for patients presenting with 
      mild-to-moderate bruising.
