Ink Camouflage

What is it?

Ink Camouflage Tattooing is a cosmetic procedure designed to blend stretch marks, scars, and hypopigmented areas into the surrounding skin by implanting custom-matched pigments. Using microneedling technology, this technique creates a more even and natural-looking skin tone, offering an effective way to minimise visible skin imperfections.

What Does It Do?

• Conceals stretch marks and scars using skin tone-matched pigments.
• Blends uneven areas for a more uniform skin appearance.
• Improves skin texture through collagen stimulation from the microneedling process.

How Does It Work?

The process begins with a detailed skin assessment to ensure safe and accurate color matching. Pigments are then carefully blended to match your natural tone and implanted into the dermis using a needling machine. As the skin heals, the pigment settles, and collagen regeneration improves skin texture over time.

Treatment Details

• Sessions Required: Typically 2–3 sessions.
• Timeline: Sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart to allow healing and pigment settling.
• Duration: Each session lasts 1 to 1.5 hours depending on treatment area size.
• Downtime: Minimal — expect light redness, swelling, and mild scabbing for 1–2 days.
• Sensation: Described as a light scratching or vibrating feeling.

Suitability

Ideal for individuals who:

• Have fully healed stretch marks or scars (at least 6 months old).
• Want a non-invasive, semi-permanent improvement in skin appearance.
• Have realistic expectations for natural-looking results.

Not suitable for: Active or inflamed scars, keloid-prone individuals, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or anyone with conditions like eczema or psoriasis in the treatment area.

How Long Between Treatments?

Sessions are spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to allow proper healing, pigment settling, and any necessary adjustments for optimal results.
