WHAT IS A SCAR CAMOUFLAGE?
Medical Camouflage is a safe tattooing method to cover up stretch marks, scars and vitiligo.
First, we mix skin tone pigments matching your own skin tone. After matching, we deposit the pigment into the scar blending the color with the surrounding skin.
As a result, we get an incredible and natural Camouflage that makes your Stretch Marks / Scars “invisible” to the human eye. This is a permanent solution that is changing lives around the world by enhancing self-confidence and beauty from inside-out!
