Procedure Time: Time varies depending on the size of the area being treated.
Skin or scar camouflage involves tattooing the skin with different colors of flesh tone pigments to disguise a scar or skin area that is missing pigment or possibly discolored, concealing the scars left behind. Scar camouflage tattoos blend healed scars into the healthy skin around them. This specialized area of permanent cosmetics falls under the category of medical or paramedical tattooing. Scars that are no longer red (hyperpigmentation), shiny, and raised, taking on a more flesh-toned appearance, are ideal candidates.
Scar Camouflage is also called Corrective Pigment Camouflage (CPC), Skin Re-pigmentation, Skin Camouflage, Camouflage Tattooing, and Skin Color Tattooing. Do not expect results in one session: Camouflage re-pigmentation is a process, not a one-time "cure." Therefor, prospective clients should expect to book 2-3 sessions, with an evaluation between each appointment to determine how many more sessions will be needed.
What Types of Scars Can Be Camouflaged?
Please note that Keloids, scars that are extremely raised, dark red or purple scars, and scars that are less than 9 months old cannot be treated. Otherwise, the following types of scars can benefit from this treatment:
-
Scars (from surgery or injury)
-
Stretch marks
-
Areas lacking pigmentation (from skin conditions like vitiligo)
*The texture of the scar may improve slightly as the needles used to deposit the pigment trigger collagen production. Otherwise, any texture of the skin is expected to stay about the same.
Permanent Makeup for Transgender Clients
Permanent makeup is a great option for transgender clients looking to feminize or masculinize their facial features before (or after!) considering surgical options. We offer scar camouflage for areas that have already been surgically enhanced. With these techniques, we can reduce the appearance of transmasc and non-binary clients who have undergone masculine chest contouring, a bilateral mastectomy, or a double incision top surgery.
