Medical pigmentation that blends scars and skin discoloration into the surrounding skin tone.


Scar camouflage is a form of medical pigmentation, a specialized tattooing technique that deposits skin-toned pigments to blend a pale or discolored scar into the surrounding skin. It can also help disguise areas of lost pigmentation.
It works best on mature, stable, flat scars that are lighter than the surrounding skin. It improves how a scar blends in rather than removing it, and pigments are matched carefully to your skin tone. A patch test is used to check the color match and reaction.
It does not remove or flatten a scar, is less effective on raised, red, or very recent scars, and pigments fade over time and may not perfectly match as skin tone changes with sun exposure.
The scar is assessed for suitability, as mature, flat, stable scars respond best. A patch test checks the color match and reaction, and realistic expectations are explained.
Skin-toned pigments are deposited into the scar in fine layers, building a blend with the surrounding skin. The shade is matched and adjusted carefully during treatment.
Mild redness settles within a day or two, and the color softens over the following weeks as it settles. Sun protection helps maintain the match, and a touch-up refines the result.
A scar that blends more closely with the surrounding skin is achievable. It cannot remove or flatten a scar, works best on lighter mature scars, and the pigment fades over time, needing periodic touch-ups. Results vary with skin tone and sun exposure.
Medical pigmentation is generally safe in trained hands, but it carries some risks. Possible risks include:
A patch test is used beforehand to check the color and reaction. The treatment suits stable, mature scars, and sun protection before and after treatment is important, and treatments are timed and adjusted to your skin type to reduce the risk of pigmentation changes.
Scar treatments at Skulpturkliniken are performed by qualified medical staff under Dr. Matteo Amoroso's oversight, with experience in medical pigmentation.
The aim is an exact, natural pigment match that helps the scar blend with surrounding skin.
