Why would a person choose to explore scar and stretch mark camouflage ? 

Most of us have scars from skinned knees during childhood, stretch marks from fluctuating weight or pregnancy, or from unfortunate accidents. For the most part, we simply live with these imperfections.

However, when a scar is particularly visible, such as on the face, many of us will explore options to reduce or eliminate it. Scars may be an unwelcome reminder of trauma or of medical procedures we’d prefer not to talk about.

Whatever the case, many are investigating the benefits of scar and stretch mark camouflage as a viable, affordable, and immediate option to reducing the visibility of scarring. 

Such as;

• Tummy Tuck Scars

• Lipo Scars

• Acne Scars

• Facelift Scars

• Traumatic Injury Scars

• Self Inflected Scars

•Hyperpigmentation Scars

•Hypopigmentation Scars

What is Scar and Stretch Mark Camouflage Tattooing?

Scar camouflage falls under the banner of permanent makeup and is also known as Brazilian Stretch Mark or Scar Tattooing, Corrective Pigment Camouflage (CPC), Corrective Camouflage, Skin Re-Pigmentation, Scar Camouflage, Skin Camouflage, Micropigmentation, or Camouflage Tattooing.

It is an innovative scar treatment that involves matching a tattoo ink formulation with your skin pigments. This ink is perfectly blended into the skin tone during a specialised tattooing procedure, thereby making scarring less noticeable. Although the scar won’t necessarily disappear, the flesh tone pigmentation goes a long way towards concealing it.

The procedure itself is safe when performed by a certified technician, and results can be seen quickly – in some cases after just one session. The treatment program and results depend on the individual’s skin, age, and type of scar. However, scar camouflage has been successful in 1-3 sessions. 

As with other forms of tattooing, the results last for years, effectively covering your scars skin tissue permanently .

How Do You Camouflage a Scar?

Essentially, scar camouflage entails treating the damaged skin to closely match the surrounding tissue in terms of texture and colour. Therefore, scars that are lighter than your natural skin tone will be made darker, and darker scars and pigmentation will be lightened using medical needling and a special combination of serums or inks.

Many who are considering scar tattooing question whether it’s even possible to tattoo over a scar. After all, the texture of the skin has been altered, and in many cases, the scar tissue is either depressed or raised.

In some cases, the area in and around the scar will benefit from medical/micro-needling, also known as collagen induction therapy. A clinically proven method of rejuvenating the skin, this treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production and offers a better scar camouflage result depending on scar type.

Is Scar Camouflage Painful?

Tattooing your skin is never going to be a breeze, and some have a higher pain threshold than others. This factor alone makes it a very subjective experience. 

It’s fair to say, however, that tattooing over scar tissue can be less painful than on normal skin. However It is common to suffer from scar pain. In many cases, atrophic and hypertrophic scars, and burn scars are more sensitive and you may experience pain when camouflaging them.

If this is an issue for you then it’s advisable to mention  numbing prior to your appointment as numbing is available. This will help deal with pain during the procedure using a very strong numbing cream, and what you can expect.l for comfort
