Scar Camouflage

How Does Scar Camouflage Work?

The tattoo scar camouflage procedure works by matching the color and tone of scarred skin, which is often lighter, to that of the surrounding skin, seamlessly blending the two areas and producing results that make scards visually indistinguishable from surrounding skin. Each patient is unique. As such, our specialist hand-selects pigments to perfectly replicate that of the patient’s skin to tattoo over their scars for scar camouflage tattooing. This helps achieve a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance free from noticeable marks and skin discoloration commonly associated with scars. The goal of this treatment is a seamless appearance that blends scars with the surrounding skin, effectively reducing their visibility. This process involves the application of pigment into supper skin layers with a tattoo machine.
