Scar camouflage is considered a complex pigmenting tattoo procedure. It often requires several applications of pigment and the utilization of different techniques with the blending of colors into an abnormal skin tissue in order to achieve a more natural appearance and less obvious scar. It doesn’t matter how the scar got there. Some scars are white in color and others are pink or red. For the best result, a hypo-pigmented (white or without color) scar will provide the best canvas and best result for camouflaging. As all scars heal, they go through several color changes with some scars healing in a reddish, brownish or bluish undertone (dependent upon the patient’s skin tone).
This paramedical procedure encompasses several procedures and the patient must be willing and accepting of the time and monetary commitment. The final result may take from 6 months to one or two years to complete depending on the size and texture of the scar, skin tone, color and other variables.
The bottom line is that scar camouflaging is an art, and if accepted by the patient, will aide the patient in regaining self-esteem and self-confidence. The time and monetary commitment is a small price to pay for the ultimate benefits.
