What’s the scar camouflage?

While some people choose to embrace their scars, others may feel self-conscious about them and seek ways to reduce their visibility.
Scar camouflage is a cosmetic procedure that reduces the visibility of scars, stretch marks and any kind of discolouration due to surgery, accident, burn, acne, or even dog bite scars and etc. by using paramedical tattoo technique that matches the colour of the affected area to its surrounding skin tone and texture. This procedure has permanent long lasting results.

How does scar camouflage work?

This technique is a customised mixture of pigments based on your skin type, scar age and color, the depth of the scar and your skin tone that is implanted into scar tissue to minimise the appearance of the affected area. Scar camouflage is effective for all skin types.
