Camouflage tattooing is used to literally "camouflage" skin concerns such as hypo pigmentation, vitiligo, stretch marks, post surgical scars, and more. Skin toned pigments are tattooed into the dermis to blend into the surrounding skin and camouflage the desired area. On average everyone will need 2 treatments. This includes the initial treatment and the follow up treatments. In some cases a patient may need up to 4 treatments. There is minimal downtime following the initial treatment. You will not be able to shower the evening after and you will need to avoid heavy sweating the first week post treatment. You can typically return to a normal routine the week following, excluding sun exposure. It can however take up to 45-60 days to fully heal. If you are prone to hyperpigmentation 60-90 days, and in rare cases longer. Once an area has been camouflaged you will never be able to laser over that skin. This is due to the titanium dioxide in the ink. We recommend receiving all your laser treatments prior to receiving the tattoo.
