Stretch Marks & Scar Camouflage Tattooing
Repigmentation or as commercially known as “Brazilian Stretch mark Camouflage” is a system very much similar to tattooing, which through the use of special ink mixing formulas and careful application, will re-pigment your stretch marks, scars, vitiligo and hyper-pigmentation exactly the same colour of the surrounding skin. Blending the affected area permanently and seamlessly to the rest of your body’s skin colour.

What Are Stretch Marks?
Stretch marks are essentially a type of scar that develops when our skin stretches or shrinks too quickly. These abrupt changes in the skin will result in the collagen and elastin in our skin rupturing, and it’s actually in healing that the stretch marks appear. At first appearance, stretch marks are often red, pink, purple, reddish-brown or even dark brown, depending on your particular skin tone. These can be raised and even a bit itchy at first; however, over time, the colour will fade, and the band sinks beneath the skin, forming a slight depression.
What Is Scar or Stretch Mark Camouflage Tattooing?
This is a revolutionary scar treatment whereby a unique formulation of tattoo ink is matched to your skin pigmentation. Through a specialised tattooing technique, the ink is perfectly blended with your natural skin tone, thereby reducing the appearance of scars or stretch marks anywhere on the body. While the scar or stretch mark will not necessarily disappear, the flesh tone pigmentation will adequately disguise the area. This is an effective form of permanent cosmetics – Medical Tattooing – and the process is known by a number of terminologies, including Brazilian Stretch Mark or Scar Tattooing, Corrective Pigment Camouflage (CPC), Corrective Camouflage, Skin Re-Pigmentation, Scar Camouflage, Skin Camouflage, Camouflage Tattooing, and Skin Camouflage Tattooing.
