Also, we recommend avoiding any heat or steam treatments must be avoided for the first five days after each treatment session. Please consider extended protection of the skin to sunlight after this treatment.

Avoiding the sun and any chlorinated water for at least four weeks is essential. AftercareĪftercare plays a big part in the success of this treatment. We adopt the latest scar and skin camouflage techniques and have over 30 years of experience mixing colours to match skin tones. The skin is not one colour therefore, we mix several colours and apply a series of dots to mimic the natural look of the skin.

Scar camouflage Patch#
We usually perform a skin patch test at the initial consultation. An SPT is essential to show the correct colour application to match the surrounding skin.Ī Skin Patch Test plays a vital role in determining the pigment colours to use to match your skin colour and tone. Ideal conditions prior to treatmentįor the best Scar Camouflage results the treated area should be area:Ī Skin Patch Test (SPT) is required before we perform most medical micropigmentation treatments. We strongly recommend minimal sun exposure to the area the treatment especially, if the treated area is in a visible position. Please note, pigments can never match a changing skin tone. Scar camouflage pigments do not change colour they fade over time as they are expelled from the skin over 2 to 3 years therefore, we recommend a refresher treatment every 12 to 18 months to keep the pigment looking fresh. Tanned skin can affect the prescriptive skin tone pigments and changes colour depending on exposure to the sun. Scar Camouflage patients should be aware that we obtain the best results when the skin is as natural in colour as possible, i.e. We aim to match the scar to the natural skin colour as perfectly as possible. To flatten the scar, we recommend a course of MCA and Dry Needling. *Undulation along the surface of the scar could cause variants in the amount of pigment entering the skin resulting in varying colours in the scar camouflage. We achieve the best Scar Camouflage results when the scar is lighter than the surrounding skin. We can occasionally treat scars that are darker than the surrounding skin colour however, this must be done with great caution and several patch tests to ensure the colour does not turn darker. MCA and Dry Needling technique use a needle without pigment to stimulate the collagen beneath the scar allowing the scar to relax and flatten. To achieve this, we recommend a treatment course of MCA and Dry Needling before any pigment is applied. For our scar camouflage procedure to be successful, the scar must be as flat as possible*. Scar Camouflage is very effective at concealing any scar type including burns, medical scars and accident scars. Our Scar Camouflage procedure uses the process of micropigmentation to implant skin-coloured pigments into the scar’s surface to blend it to the surrounding skin colour and tone.
