Scar Camouflage
Stretch Marks and Surgical Scars
The cosmetic micro-pigmentation procedure involves embedding an organic pigment under the skin to add permanent color, camouflaging the appearance of the scar. This procedure is often used to enhance eyebrows or lips as permanent makeup and can be useful for certain types of scars. A hand-held system applies the pigment by puncturing the skin hundreds of times per minute with a tiny needle and pushing the pigment into the targeted area.
If you are dismayed by the appearance of stretch marks or scars on your body that will not fade, we have various treatments, including permanent makeup, to assist in restoring an even skin tone, hiding the appearance of scars. Reducing the appearance of stretch marks and scars can dramatically change how you feel about your body.
Here's what you should know about Scar Camouflage.
The most common request is to improve the appearance of stretch marks and scars. We can improve the appearance of scars just about anywhere on the body.
If you look very closely, our skin is not all one uniform color; it’s a mix of colors. We use a technique called pixelation, which uses a blend of colors to more closely match the skin’s natural color patterns.
We add pigments matched to your particular skin to make the scar color blend with the surrounding skin. We also use specialized techniques to mask the scar’s appearance further.
What to expect.
Although scar camouflage can reduce the appearance of your scar, it’s essential to understand that scars are long-lasting, and no scar will ever be completely invisible. Every scar is different: body location, size, shape, color, the appearance of depth, and so on. Some scars require only a single treatment, and others take multiple sessions. Results are cumulative and may take four to six weeks to develop fully.
Are You a Candidate for Scar Camouflage?
- The scar is healed and no longer pink or changing color: Your scar should be at least 9 to 12 months old with stable color. If it is red or pink or still changing color, the tissue may still be healing. A reputable, experienced medical tattooist will not work prematurely on scar tissue because it may cause further damage to the skin.
- The scar is smooth and reasonably flat: Camouflage tattooing cannot disguise or correct extreme changes in skin texture. If your scar or skin area is bumpy or raised, the process may not be effective. If you have any skin surface irregularity, please consult with a Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon first to see if any type of medical treatment can first improve the skin texture.
- The scar is without dark edges: Dark edges or borders around a scar indicate Post Inflammatory Hyper-pigmentation (PIHP) from the initial trauma or surgery. It is possible that the camouflage tattooing process may increase the hyper-pigmentation and create a wider, darker border. The risk of this happening is usually greater with darker skin tones.
- Do not have one of the following: Keloid, scars with raised dark edges, Port Wine birthmarks; spider veins; freckles; age spots; under-eye circles; hyper-pigmentation; or unstable vitiligo (not in remission). These can be improved with non-tattoo medical treatments such as lasers, sclerotherapy, or chemical peels. Please consult with a physician regarding the best course of treatment for these conditions.
Please remember the Camouflage re-pigmentation process can take time and patience. It is performed on more sensitive skin and its immediate response can vary.
