  2. What is a scar camouflage treatment? Scar camouflage includes covering up the scars with tattoo pigment, which is similar to the skin color. In this procedure, a needle is inserted into the scar, and ink is deposited in the specific area. How can you prepare for the scar camouflage treatment? Before opting for the scar camouflage treatment, you are advised to consult with a skin specialist who examines the conditions and size of the scars through a patch test that is needed to understand the actual colour of the skin where pigment is going to be inserted. How is the scar camouflage done? Scar camouflage is done with a cosmetic pen which consists of a tiny needle that inserts pigment into the skin. Different colour options and shadows are provided to give a natural-looking result. The procedure is done under local anaesthesia to prevent any pain during the procedure.

  3. What are the things you should keep in mind before doing the scar camouflage treatment? 1. Scar camouflage is not ideal for someone whose scars are still not healed. Old scars are ideal for the above treatment. 2. Scars that appear smooth and flat are easy to treat. 3. Scars with borders around them are difficult to treat as they can cause hyperpigmentation. 4. Scar camouflage may not be suitable for individuals with dark complexions. Does scar camouflage treatment ensure a positive and long-lasting result? The result from scar camouflage may last for up to 2–5 years but requires 4-5 sessions to see the complete result. Also, it is recommended to do touch-ups in between to maintain the result. • What are the possible side effects of scar camouflage treatment? • After the scar camouflage treatment, the following side effects are possible: • 1. Skin irritation is common after the procedure. • 2. The colour of the scars might be different from the surrounding skin. • 3. The colour may fade over time, which is why touch-ups are required.
