Scar Camouflage Treatment

Scar Camouflage

What is it?

Scar camouflage tattooing is a specialised technique that uses intelligent colour matching technology (the Nue reader), a tattoo machine and pigment.

This combination helps conceal scars, stretch marks and other skin imperfections.

The tattoo machine, along with professional skin tone pigments, replace lost colour-melanin and seamlessly disguises scars, achieving natural looking results.

The process typically begins with a through consultation to understand your goals and assess the area to be treated.

Scars need to be:

▪️ Atleast 1 years old

▪️ Smooth and flat to touch

▪️ Lighter than the surrounding skin

To address scars or stretch marks that are less than a year old, you can opt for Red LED therapy sessions or Inkless treatments. These options aid in both the healing process and concealment of your scars.

Please be aware, consultations are essential prior to treatment to ensure suitability.

White scars & Hypopigmentation

You have experienced an injury, burn or had surgery that has left you with a healed, pale white scar, known as hypopigmentation- a loss of melanin where the skin no longer produces colour the way it once did. It’s a common response to skin trauma but that doesn’t make it easier to ignore.

These scars often appear more noticeable on tanned and darker skin tones, especially when they catch the light and contrast with the surrounding skin. While these scars are medically harmless, they can feel obvious, especially in social settings like heading to the beach, wearing certain clothing out and about or when looking in the mirror.

For many people, the visibility can create a quiet kind of social anxiety not enough to stop you from living your life but enough to make you feel like you want to cover up or hide certain areas.

Make up and fake tan may offer a temporary solution, but this is not always reliable and becomes a daily chore.

This is where scar camouflage can help, offering a longer-term solution that reduces the contrast of hypo-pigmented scars by restoring balance to the skin over sessions.
