Medical Tattoo FAQ’s

Tattoo camouflage / scar camouflage is also known as corrective pigment camouflage, corrective camouflage, skin re-pigmentation, skin camouflage, camouflage tattooing, skin color tattooing, medical tattooing, and paramedical tattooing. The procedure is a Micropigmentation technique that involves implanting pigment into scar tissue to conceal any discoloration, creating an even finish. Pigment is created and matched to each patient based on their natural skin tone and begins to blend with the rest of the skin after a few sessions. This tattoo camouflage technique can work to conceal stretch marks, burn marks, surgical scars, hypo pigmentation, vitiligo, self inflicted scars, tummy tuck scars, breast lift scars, liposuction scars and more. Scars must be fully healed (1-2 years) for ink camo and healed (1 year) for inkless.

Tattoo camouflage is performed using flesh tone ink to conceal only lighter scars to blend with the surrounding skin. With inkless, there is no color / ink only a serum that is placed into the dermis which will help your body do what it does naturally. Inkless helps to improve collagen and elastin, which aids in the overall appearance of your scar. Inkless works best with hyper pigmentation (darker scars) as we can enlighten them drastically with the serum mixture we can create. Inkless is a more natural approach to camouflaging your scars or marks. All of our serums combine a natural blend of vitamins & organic oils. With enlightenment, this method is based on a mixture of special: Vitamin C, Vitamin E and color mixing solution. This method helps to lighten any areas with discoloration under the eyes, sun spots, dark surgical scars and will also help to keep the skin tight and bright. With enhancement, this method is based on a mixture of: avocado oil, sunflower oil and mixing solution. This method helps to repair the skin/tissue and improve collagen and elastin and can work on lighter scars.
