SCAR CAMOUFLAGE
Also known as skin color tattooing. This treatment is great for improving the appearance of scars, burns, or other skin discoloration. This is also an excellent alternative for vitiligo candidates. The technique is similar to that of permanent makeup. Skin colour pigments are used to blend the scar with the surrounding natural skin. Scar camouflage has become increasingly popular for its ability to improve the appearance of scars, especially stretch marks, and other areas affected by hypopigmentation.

When evaluating a scar for scar camouflage treatment, the source of the scar is not as important as its look and feel. Once fully healed, any type of pigment loss is generally amenable to micropigment color correction, including:
-Scars (from surgery or injury)
-Stretch marks
-Areas lacking pigmentation (from skin conditions like vitiligo)Hence, any type of surgery scar can be camouflaged, what matters most is how the scar healed. A scar will go through many stages of healing and will change in appearance (colour, texture) over time. It is therefore essential to wait for the scar to be, at a minimum, one year old before opting for scar camouflage.
Please remember that like any cosmetic procedure this is a process. Do not expect immediate results and please be patient. It will be a few weeks before you can fully appreciate the final results.
