The treated skin may have a different color and texture compared to the untreated skin. Several factors determine the severity of this line. For example patients who have a lighter colored skin are less likely to have a marked difference. The surgeon can reduce the impact of the line by placing the junction between the untreated and treated skin in shadow or in a natural crease. Lines of demarcation are impossible to prevent. They are seen in all patients although the severity will vary. Even if the whole face is treated a line of demarcation will be present between the untreated neck and the treated face. This line can usually be concealed with makeup.
