Custom-blended pigment layered into a healed scar so it matches the skin around it. A paramedical tattooing technique — not a laser.
Scars often heal hypopigmented — lighter than the skin around them, because the cells that produce your natural pigment were lost in the injury. The texture can settle perfectly well and the colour still gives it away.
Camouflage deposits custom-blended pigment into the scar in fine, layered passes. The pigment is mixed to your skin at the appointment — not selected from a chart — and built up gradually until the scar reads as skin rather than as a mark.
It does not remove the scar. It removes the colour difference that makes you notice it.
Melanocytes lost in the injury never returned, so the scar healed lighter than the skin around it.
Colour mixed to your undertone, deposited shallow across several sessions rather than all at once.
The scar is still there. The colour difference that made you notice it is not.
Step 01
Free. We assess whether the scar is ready and confirm pricing in writing.
Step 02
A small discreet area confirms your pigment match before we treat.
Step 03
Pigment layered across 2–4 visits, six to eight weeks apart.
Step 04
Colour darkens then softens over a week. Final result at 4–6 weeks.
No. The goal is that it stops catching the eye — most patients say they have to go looking for it now. Anyone promising complete removal is not being straight with you.
No. Camouflage is paramedical tattooing — pigment placed to restore lost colour. Lasers remodel texture. Different tools for different problems, and sometimes we sequence both.
Scar tissue has fewer nerve endings than normal skin, so most people find it easier than expected. Topical numbing throughout. Patients describe pressure rather than pain.
Yes — matching is the whole craft. Pigment is blended for your specific tone and undertone, and the patch test confirms how your skin takes colour before we treat the full area.
Pigment does not tan, so a big seasonal shift can make the match drift. We match to your baseline tone and daily SPF protects both the pigment and the scar.
One patient at a time, by appointment. No packages, no pressure, and an honest answer even when it isn’t the one that books.
