Scar camouflage can transform the way you feel about yourself and boost self esteem.

 Scars can be caused by accident, a dermatological condition or surgery. They can have different appearances like raised (hypertrophic), depressed, shiny, smooth or rough and uneven. They can show a complete loss of colour (hypo pigmentation) or they can be darker than the surrounding skin (hyper pigmentation).
 When scars are healing they are going through several colour changing stages. They can heal with bluish or reddish undertones. The texture of scar tissue is normally tougher and thicker than normal skin. A scar camouflage treatment cannot be carried out on a scar which has not finished the healing process. A scar is usually healed after about 1 year up to 2 years. At this time the scar appears usually white. Using a variety of camouflaging techniques and a variety of different skin tone pigments these scars can be treated by micro pigmentation to blend them into the surrounding skin areas making them less visible or even invisible. The camouflage procedure can be completed within two up to four visits always depending on the size of the scar.
