SCAR CAMOUFLAGE | SEMI PERMANENT MAKE UP

semi permanent make upScar camouflage

Scar camouflage can transform the way you feel about your self and boost self esteem. Light coloured scars can be camouflaged long term using medical tattooing treatments - during which skin coloured pigments are infused into the scar tissue to minimise its appearance.

Medical tattooing is suitable for camouflaging scars on people of all nationalities. Not all scar tissue however, is suitable for treatment please feel free to call us so we can discuss your individual situation.

If scars are hyper-pigmented (dark in colour); are noticeably raised or sunken; or have an uneven texture the treatment may be ineffective as these scar types have poor pigment retention capabilities.

The most suitable scars to treat with medical tattooing are those that are the result of a clean cut, especially if the scars are the result of surgery - for example a facelift, breast lift, or even tummy tuck. The scar should not be red but have a white/silver hue.

It is important that the medical tattoo procedure is carried out when the skin is not tanned as the success of the treatment is dependent on the correct skin tone pigments being selected to achieve a look that blends into the natural skin colour. If tanned skin is colour matched and the tan fades, then  you are going to be left with the wrong colour  pigment. This leaving  noticeable demarcation between the healthy skin and the treated scar tissue.The reverse is also a consideration and clients must accept that sun exposure must be minimal once the scar has been camouflaged.

Procedure and Aftercare.
Before the procedure a numbing cream will be applied. This will make the procedure more comfortable and normal makes the patient feel at complete ease. Pre procedure advice will have been given to the patient and aftercare instructions will be explained and written guidance on aftercare will also be given to the client before they leave the clinic.  A natural healing balm will be given and the area will have a light dressing on at the end.
