LIVINGSKIN®
is the trademark name for Aesthetic Concerns
Prosthetics, Inc. unique lifelike
prosthetic skin. As illustrated below, LIVINGSKIN® is made to resemble human skin by simulating the three dermal layers of
natural human skin.
The top or surface
skin layer, the epidermis, holds the pores, wrinkles and
fingerprints. This layer also contains melanin, the pigment that
creates suntan and darker skin types. Like human skin, LIVINGSKIN®’s
epidermal layer also contains pores and skin detail. Our sculptors
achieve this meticulously detailed skin surface by artistically
combining impressions of natural skin and hand rendered detail into
each master model. The natural melanin is simulated through custom
applied pigments saturated within this silicone skin layer.
The dermis is
the middle layer of skin. This translucent layer consists of a cloudy
mesh of specialized skin cells. LIVINGSKIN®’s dermal
layer is also a mesh of translucent (silicone) cells that closely
resemble nature’s original.
The final and deepest
skin layer, the subcutaneous layer, contains the fat cells and
blood which allow for much of the visible skin color. LIVINGSKIN®’s
subcutaneous layer is a custom pigmented silicone matrix of varying
colors painstakingly applied to match each individual.
