What we treat
Two techniques. One assessment, always first.
Pigment camouflage
Blends flat, smooth scars and stretch marks with the surrounding skin, using pigment matched carefully to your natural tone. Suited to surgical scars, burns, skin grafts and smooth white or silver stretch marks. Most people need one to three sessions.
Dark scar & pigmentation
For scars and stretch marks left darker than the surrounding skin, often after acne, surgery or trauma. Brightening serums and colour theory work together to even out tone. Typically two to five sessions, spaced several weeks apart.
Inkless Scar Revision (ISR)
For raised, indented or textured scarring. A pigment-free, peptide-based serum works with your skin's own healing response to rebuild collagen and elastin and restore a smoother surface. Usually two to four sessions.
What to expect
Assessment first, always.
Every treatment starts with a complimentary, in-person consultation, so the texture and history of your skin is properly looked at before anything is recommended.
- Complimentary consultation. Your skin is assessed in person, texture, colour and history, before any treatment is discussed.
- A plan matched to your skin. Camouflage, dark scar work or ISR, sometimes a combination, depending on what will actually work.
- Treatment, in sessions. Camouflage is usually one to three sessions, dark scar work two to five, ISR two to four.
- Aftercare and follow-up. You're supported through healing, with results reviewed and refined as needed.
Questions
Before you book
What if my scar or stretch mark is textured or raised?
Pigment camouflage works best on flat, smooth skin. If there's texture involved, raised, indented or uneven, Inkless Scar Revision is usually the better starting point, sometimes followed by camouflage once texture has improved.
How long does healing take?
Camouflage tattooing heals much like a small tattoo, colour typically settles over about two weeks. ISR works with your skin's own healing response, so results build gradually over the following weeks between sessions.
What if my scar or stretch mark is dark (hyperpigmented)?
That's treated differently to pale scarring. Dark scar and pigmentation work combines brightening serums with colour theory to neutralise and even out tone, rather than adding more pigment.
Can you treat vitiligo?
Yes. Camouflage tattooing can help even out colour loss from vitiligo. It's assessed individually, as suitability depends on where the colour loss is and how it behaves.
What does it cost?
Cost depends on the size, texture and history of the area being treated, which is exactly why every treatment starts with a complimentary consultation rather than a fixed price list.
