Scar Camouflage On Dark Skin - Same Final Results?
If you have had problems finding out if you can get scar camouflage on dark skin, then there could be a few issues here. More often than not it is down to the practitioner not having inclusive pigments in stock or being unable to colour match to darker skin tones. You are able to have scar camouflage on stretch marks, vitiligo and scarring just like any other skin colour.
“I have darker skin, will I still get the same results by having scar camouflage or will it not work?”
Absolutely it will. If you have had problems finding out if you can get scar camouflage on dark skin, then there could be a few issues here. More often than not it is down to the practitioner not having inclusive pigments in stock or being unable to colour match to darker skin tones.
You are able to have scar camouflage on stretch marks, vitiligo and scarring just like any other skin colour, and will get the same distinguishing results, if not better - due to the stark contrast between pale scarring and melanin enriched skin.
Make sure you do your research and due diligence when it comes to picking out the best place for scar camouflage. If you are concerned about a certain provider, then try to look for one who already has dark skin tones in their portfolio, this way you won’t be the guinea pig or risk unsatisfactory results.
Does Scar Camouflage Really Get Rid Of Stretch Marks?
If you want to know how to eliminate stretch marks entirely and find out if skin camouflage is the best method to get rid of stretch marks, then I have some news for you. The good news is, by undertaking scar camouflage using specially formulated pigments to deposit flesh-coloured tones into your skin you will see drastic improvements in the appearance, feel and elasticity of the area in question - giving the ultimate illusion of a stretch-mark free body. The not so good news is that although the stretch marks will be virtually undetectable, they will not be eradicated completely.
“I’ve heard that skin camouflage does not get rid of stretch marks, is this true?”

By having scar camouflage, which you may also hear referred to as stretch mark tattoo cover up or stretch mark tattoo camouflage UK, you will reap additional benefits if your stretch marks are pretty hollow and deep. The vibrational effect from the needle depositing the skin safe ink into your skin will actually stimulate collagen production, so the stretch mark will also elevate and become more firm as well as the benefit of becoming the same tone as your skin colour.

Scar Camouflage - Semi Permanent Makeup Or Tattoo?
Skin camouflage treatment for scars where pigment is inserted into the upper layers of the skin is in itself just called skin camouflage. When it comes to technicality, the reality is that it falls under the semi-permanent makeup category as it is just that, semi-permanent lasting 2-3 years. The reason it is sometimes called a skin camouflage tattoo is because the equipment used to apply the pigment is similar, and sometimes the same as that used for actual tattoos.
“I am confused, I have heard this treatment being referred to as a skin camouflage tattoo and also as scar camouflage permanent makeup - what is the case?”

Another thing to be aware of is that some tattoo artists do carry out this treatment using their own tattoo ink pigments - these should not be used for skin camouflaging and here is where some people (like myself) tend to avoid the term ‘skin camouflage tattoo’ as much as possible.
The pigments tattoo artists use are different to those formulated for semi-permanent makeup, which is infact what skin camouflaging is. The reason for this is due to the technique used and the depth the needle goes into the skin.
If you were to look for skin camouflage on the NHS they would refer to this treatment as either name, so you should not be put off, just ensure to do your research as to where you go by yourself as you will be the one living with the results for the next couple of years. Scar camouflage is not prescribed through the NHS so they will just recommend you seek this service out if it is of any interest to you.
In summary, if you were seeking a stretch mark camouflage tattoo, vitiligo camouflage tattoo or scar camouflage micropigmentation you are in the best place to become educated on the matter!
