title: [Cosmetic dermopigmentation. The pigment stays ... as do regrets].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Cosmetic dermopigmentation designates tattooing of the superficial derma with pigments in order to obtain an aesthetic effect. We observed two cases illustrating the inconveniences of this technique.
  
  
  METHODS
  Two women underwent dermopigmentation on the face in a beauty institution to create pseudo-freckles. Definite macular hyperpigmentation occurred with dyschromia in both subjects.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There is a major risk in subjects who undertake dermopigmentation of freckles and/or naevus, a practice which should be discouraged by dermatologists.
