Scar Camouflage
Your scars are part of your story—but you get to decide how visible you want that story to be. Scar camouflage uses customized pigment to soften the appearance of healed scars and help them blend more naturally with the surrounding skin.
What is Scar Camouflage/Scar Concealment?
Using custom-blended pigments, scar camouflage helps healed scars blend more naturally with the surrounding skin. Each treatment is individualized based on your scar, skin tone and goals, often using multiple sessions to gradually build the most natural-looking result.
The goal isn't to erase your story. It's to give you more control over how you carry it.
Scar Camouflage FAQs
What types of scars can be treated with Paramedical Tattooing?
Paramedical Tattooing can be used to camouflage various types of scars. These would include surgical scars, injury scars, burn scars, stretch marks, and post skin-graft scars. However, to be eligible for treatment, scars must be fully healed (typically at least 12 months) and stable, with no ongoing redness or sensitivity. A consultation is necessary to determine if the scar is suitable for the procedure.
How long do the results of Scar Camouflage Tattooing last?
The results of this type of Paramedical Tattooing can last several years, but are not entirely permanent. Factors such as sun exposure, skin type, and natural fading of pigments over time can affect longevity. Touch-up sessions will be needed every 2–5 years to maintain optimal results.
Is the procedure painful?
The level of discomfort varies depending on the individual and the location of the scar. Many people describe the sensation as mild to moderate discomfort, similar to traditional tattooing. Numbing creams are often applied before and during the procedure to minimize any pain and ensure a more comfortable experience.
Will the Scar Camouflage Tattoo completely hide my scar?
Scar Camouflage Tattooing is designed to blend the scar with the surrounding skin tone, making it less noticeable rather than completely invisible. While the treatment significantly improves the appearance of scars, factors such as scar texture, depth, and the surrounding skin’s color can impact the final result.
How much does a Scar Camouflage procedure cost?
Cost will vary depending on the size, location and type of scar being concealed. Concealment always requires more than one session for optimal results, as every scar is different. It is best to proceed with caution to gauge how the scar tissue responds to the tattooing and how well the pigment is implanted. Smaller scarred areas could start as low as $75-$100 per session. Larger, more extensive scar areas would typically cost more. A consultation is always necessary before any Paramedical Tattoo procedure to assess the integrity of the skin and receive a personalized quote.
