What this service does
Scar camouflage (also called paramedical tattooing or skin re-pigmentation) places skin-toned pigments into mature, hypopigmented scars to reduce their visual contrast with the surrounding skin.
Who it's best for
- Mature surgical scars (typically 12+ months old)
- White or silvery stretch marks
- Areas of hypopigmentation
- Flat, healed tissue with no active treatment
What to expect
- An in-person or virtual consultation to assess candidacy honestly
- A small patch test to confirm color match and skin response
- A series of 2–4 sessions spaced 8+ weeks apart
- Custom-blended pigments matched to your surrounding skin tone
- Clear, realistic expectations at every step
Healing overview
Treated areas appear darker than your final result for the first 2–3 weeks while the skin sheds. True color match emerges as healing completes. Skin tone changes seasonally, so we plan refreshes accordingly.
Pricing
- Pricing based on area, size, and treatment plan — provided at consultation

Frequently asked questions
+Will my scar disappear completely?
Scar camouflage softens the visual contrast between scar tissue and the surrounding skin — it does not erase a scar. For the right candidate, results can be transformative.
+How old does my scar need to be?
Generally 12 months or older, fully closed, flat, and pale or white. Active, raised, or red scars are not ready for camouflage and we'll tell you honestly when to come back.
+Can stretch marks be treated?
Yes, mature white or silvery stretch marks are common candidates. Newer pink or red stretch marks are not yet appropriate.
+How many sessions will I need?
Most areas require 2 to 4 sessions spaced 8+ weeks apart. We design the plan together at your consultation based on size, skin type, and scar maturity.
+Why is pricing only available after consultation?
Scar camouflage is the most individualized service we offer. Skin tone, scar maturity, size, texture, and prior treatments all affect the approach and the cost.
