Scar Camouflage
Improve Scar Discoloration and Elasticity
Scar Camouflage
Micropigmentation can help to camouflage scars from surgery, injuries, burns, birthmarks and other skin imperfections.
Scar Therapy
Scar therapy is a procedure that utilizes a technique called inkless needling (where no pigment is inserted—only a serum infusion is implanted into the skin). It is used to break up scar tissue and improve tone—transforming the scar and giving it a more natural appearance.
Types of Scars to Be Treated
Many patients use micropigmentation and scar therapy procedures to disguise:
- Face lift scars
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) scars
- Cleft palate reconstruction
- Stretch marks
- Orthopaedic surgery scars
- Dog bite scars
- Breast reconstruction scars
- Cancer port scars
- IPL Laser burns/hypopigmentation
- Vitiligo
- Trans female to male (FTM) top surgery scars
- Self-harm scars
- Burn scars
- Skin graft scars
- Hypopgimentation from poison ivy
All scar therapy or scar camouflage appointments require a consultation prior to scheduling your session.
DETAILS
Appointment length: Time varies
Healing time: 3 to 7 days
Numbing Used? No. Due to the fact that numbing agents cause the skin to blanch (turn white) which would make it difficult to see where the scar ends. Discomfort is typically only mild to moderate.
Actual tattooing time: Varies and is dependent on size of scar
Lasts for: 5 to 10 years
Colorboost recommended: as needed
Scars and Stretch Marks
Abdominoplasty Scar
The one thing to remember about scar camouflage is that it will always look WORSE, before it looks better. Immediately after the micropigmentation, it will be raised, irritated, and red. However, once the healing is complete, it will take on a more natural skin-tone and appear softer and flatter.
Stretch Marks
Stretch marks can be lightly filed with a wash of skin-colored pigment. Scar camouflage helps them blend better with the surrounding skin color and the process of micropigmentation also allows for the skin to generate more collagen which gives stretch marks a flatter, softer appearance.
Scars from Injuries
This scar was a result of a dog bite. We used a scar revision needling technique to soften and decrease the rigidity of the scar, as well as improve the color.
