Camouflage treatment is a specialised tattooing technique that blends custom-matched pigment into scars, stretch marks, or areas of skin discoloration to help them appear more even and natural. It’s a great option for those wanting to soften the appearance of visible marks and feel more confident in their skin.
Key points to keep in mind:
- Best for stable, fully healed scars – the area should be at least 12 months old and not changing in colour or texture.
- Custom colour-matching is essential – pigment is blended to suit your natural skin tone for the most seamless result.
- Multiple sessions may be needed – gradual layering gives a more natural finish and longer-lasting results.
- Healing time is minimal – mild redness is normal, and most people return to daily activities quickly.
- Results vary by skin type – some skin holds pigment better than others, and a touch-up may be required.
- Sun protection is key – UV exposure can affect pigment retention and colour.
- A consultation is important – to assess suitability and set realistic expectations, especially for textured or very light/dark scars.
