Scar Camouflage

Service Description

Scar camouflage, also known as medical tattooing or micropigmentation, is a specialized cosmetic technique used to conceal scars and skin imperfections by implanting pigments into the skin. This procedure aims to match the scarred area to the surrounding skin tone, making the scar less noticeable. - Technique: Scar camouflage involves the use of a tattoo machine to deposit custom-blended pigments into the top layer of the skin. The goal is to closely match the pigment to the individual's natural skin color, creating a seamless appearance. - Customization: The pigments are carefully selected and mixed to match the surrounding skin tone, taking into account the natural variations in color and undertone. - Types of Scars: This technique can be used on various types of scars, including surgical scars, injury scars, and burn scars. However, it is most effective on flat, pale scars. - Procedure: The process typically involves several sessions to achieve the desired results, as the pigments may need to be adjusted and layered to ensure a natural look. - Healing Process: After the procedure, the area may be slightly red and swollen. The full results become visible once the skin has healed, which can take a few weeks. - Longevity: The effects of scar camouflage can last several years, but touch-ups may be needed over time to maintain the color as pigments can fade due to factors like sun exposure and skin regeneration. - Benefits: Scar camouflage can significantly improve the appearance of scars, boosting an individual's confidence and comfort in their skin. It provides a non-surgical option for reducing the visibility of scars. - Considerations: It's important to have realistic expectations, as the technique may not completely eliminate the appearance of a scar but can greatly reduce its visibility. *PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS AN HOURLY SERVICE. $150/hr All services require a $100 non refundable deposit at time of booking 8-12 week touch-ups are included in the original price If client has previous work from another artist, there will be a $50 fee for any corrections needed.
