Paramedical Camouflage For Surgical Scars & Burns

The process involves depositing pigment into the dermal layer of the skin. The pigment chosen is designed to blend with the surrounding areas of the skin so to camouflage the scar or burn.

​

Shadows and highlights can be added to create a 3D effect where required and small dots are often used instead of solid lines. This gives a more natural finish and allows for seasonal colour changes in the skin’s pigment.

​

Patients generally need multiple treatments in order to achieve their desired look. After that, paramedical tattoos are largely permanent with annual touch-ups recommended to maintain the best result in some cases.

​

One of the most popular forms of paramedical tattooing, is scar camouflage. This involves using natural skin tone pigments to minimise the visibility of a scar and help it blend in with the surrounding skin better. 

​

Paramedical tattoos can be used to disguise scars that are lighter than your natural skin tone and at least 12-18 months old. This includes accidental scars such as those caused by falling as a child, surgery scars following things like c-sections or tummy tucks and self-inflicted scars for those who’d like to put a difficult past behind them. The appearance of stretch marks can also be improved.

​

Patients with vitiligo, cleft lip scarring and noticeable birthmarks are also good candidates for paramedical tattooing.

In the case of vitiligo, a medical grade ink matching your natural skin tone can be added to light patches of skin that have lost their pigment to help them blend in. For those with cleft lip scarring, paramedical tattoos can be used to balance out the shape of the lips by creating a more symmetrical lip line and filling in the lips with a natural shade.
