SCAR CAMOUFLAGE

When considering corrective pigment camouflage, finding a skilled and qualified medical or paramedical tattoo artist is extremely important. Although some states are stricter than others, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers scar camouflage to be a subset of permanent cosmetics and does not impose much regulation. Here’s what you need to look for when searching for a provider: Training & Certification: A one-day training session isn’t going to make a technician an expert. Look into your local municipality’s laws around credentials and be sure to research how long the provider has been practicing and what certifications they’ve acquired. Experience & Knowledge: As mentioned above, a certain level of expertise can only come from years on the job, and you'll also want to be treated by someone who has experience working with clients with similar features or concerns to your own. Facility: Check to make sure the salon or office the technician works at is clean and appears to be following local standards. Photos: Standardized before and after pictures will give you a good idea of the caliber of the work. Check out our guide to viewing B&As to learn more about what to look for. Happy Clients: A skilled and reputable artist will never shy away from allowing past clients to share their experience with you, so don’t be afraid to ask. According to Josef, “experience and honesty” are two of the most important qualities to look for in a skin camouflage professional. “Scars are complicated and every situation is different,” she explains. “If an artist gives you an immediate ‘yes’ without indications of what to expect with your results, you may want to keep researching.” As it relates to honesty: “I regularly turn away clients if I know I cannot make worthwhile improvements,” she adds.

During your consultation, your tattoo artist will evaluate your particular scar and ask many questions — particularly about your medical history — in order to gain a better understanding of your body chemistry. This includes questions about: Medications (including vitamins and supplements) Any traditional, medical, or cosmetic tattoo history Skin type Allergies Autoimmune conditions Scar tendencies Ability to schedule follow-up treatments

Based on the appearance of your scar, your medical tattoo artist may suggest any number of pre-treatments. “Often, I will recommend a client get laser or micro needling done on a scar prior to coming to me so that we can see the best results,” Josef says. “Laser and micro needling will help flatten the scar and improve its texture.” Another benefit of lasers, she adds, is that they can also lighten hyperpigmentation. “By doing this first, the client can see a much better result than if I were to only work on the color of the scar,” Josef shares.

“I always tell my clients that they shouldn’t expect to see immediate results,” Josef says. The reason for this is because the tattoo needs to continue to be perfected. “In order for the results to look the most natural, I am conservative with the amount of color I add in one session to the scar,” she shares. “My focus is for the result to look like skin and not like I’ve applied makeup to the area.” As a result, “clients will see full results after their touch up session,” Josef notes — and she offers additional touch ups as needed. As with any healing process, it’s important to remember that the recovery from scar camouflage is an evolution. “A phrase I use with my clients is, ‘everything looks worse before it looks better,’” she says. “Scars and stretch marks are more fragile than the surrounding skin, therefore they tend to respond with a bit more redness or swelling when being worked over.” These side effects usually subside within a couple days, Josef explains, but, for some individuals, the residual redness can last a few weeks.

Just like a conventional tattoo, corrective cosmetic tattooing carries certain risks. Choosing a well-qualified provider will minimize your chances of complications, which include: Infection Allergic reaction Granulomas Poor color match Fading Discoloration Sticking to the recommended after-care regimen is also extremely important, as your tattoo is essentially an open, healing wound for two to four weeks

Laser tattoo removal has come a long way in recent years. When it comes to skin repigmentation tattoos, however, trying to reverse the process isn’t as straightforward as it seems. Lasers target the color molecules and break them apart to be excreted by the body, but they can’t be used on titanium dioxide (a white pigment very often used to match lighter skin tones). Lasers turn this white metal gray, leaving an even more conspicuous mark. Although there are alternative options for removing permanent makeup pigments, scar tissue doesn’t behave the same way healthy skin does. All of these factors make it much more difficult to alter a cosmetic tattoo than a decorative one or even microblading.

A well-executed scar camouflage tattoo can be life-changing for clients — improving self-esteem and helping them move on. “This procedure can have incredible effects on a patient’s quality of life,” Josef notes. As she explains, scars are often associated with difficult memories. “For our breast cancer survivors, it can help them feel like themselves again and recognize what they see in the mirror,” she shares. “We also help clients cover the scars from their abusers or from self-harm done in the past.” In many cases, scar camouflage represents a fresh start. “It’s a way for them to move on,” Josef says, “and not see the reminder every day.”
