The Art of Skin Camouflage
Scar camouflage tattooing is a specialist paramedical technique that uses carefully selected pigments to reduce the visible contrast between suitable scars and surrounding skin.
Stretch mark camouflage applies similar colour-matching principles to selected mature stretch marks.
Inkless scar revision is a separate technique that does not deposit camouflage pigment and may involve controlled skin needling. Suitability and evidence vary, and results cannot be guaranteed.
Our proposed course will explore these techniques alongside skin assessment, treatment limitations and safe professional practice.
