Scar camouflage at Visage New York helps restore even skin tone and texture after surgery, injury, stretch marks or acne scarring.
Our Manhattan specialists use advanced paramedical tattooing and color-matching techniques to blend the appearance of scars into surrounding skin.
The result is natural, balanced and confidence-boosting—perfect for clients who want smoother, more uniform skin without invasive procedures.
What Is Scar Camouflage and How It Works
Scar camouflage (also known as medical micropigmentation) is a paramedical tattoo technique that deposits custom-blended pigments into the scar tissue’s upper dermal layer.
The pigment replicates nearby skin tone, visually reducing contrasts in color, shape or brightness that make scars stand out.
At Visage New York, each treatment starts with a detailed consultation where your artist assesses scar depth, tone, and maturity.
Once healed skin is confirmed, pigments are mixed using undertone calibration—cool, warm or neutral—to ensure the closest possible match.
Tiny needles implant the pigment gradually, allowing a smooth transition between scar and natural skin.
This technique works for surgical scars, stretch marks, burns, acne scarring, and skin grafts, giving a more even, natural appearance.
Why New York Clients Choose Visage New York for Scar Camouflage

What to Expect During Treatment
- A typical scar-camouflage session takes 1–3 hours, depending on scar size and texture.
- A numbing agent is applied for comfort.
- Our artists map the area and test color swatches directly on the skin before blending begins.
- Pigment is applied in micro-layers using a fine tattooing device that gently infuses color into the scar tissue.
- You’ll see initial results immediately; final tone appears once the skin heals in 2–4 weeks.
- For older or larger scars, additional sessions may be recommended for full blending.
Healing and After-Care
- The treated area may feel tender or mildly swollen for a day or two.
- Keep it clean and lightly moisturized while it heals.
- Avoid saunas, hot water and exfoliating products for one week.
- Sun protection is essential—UV exposure can alter pigment tone.
- Our Manhattan specialists provide a tailored after-care kit for each skin type to ensure consistent healing and color retention.
Benefits of Scar Camouflage
Scar camouflage offers several advantages for NYC clients seeking a discreet, lasting solution:
- Reduces the contrast between scar tissue and normal skin
- Blends stretch marks or surgical lines for a smoother look
- Works on light and dark skin tones through precision pigment matching
- Non-surgical, minimal downtime, and lasting for several years
- Boosts self-confidence in both professional and personal settings
The treatment restores harmony to your skin, allowing light to reflect evenly and naturally.
Who Can Get Scar Camouflage
You’re a good candidate if your scar is fully healed (at least 9–12 months old) and free from raised keloid texture.
This service is ideal for clients with:
- Surgical scars (tummy tuck, C-section, breast augmentation)
- Acne scars or skin graft marks
- Burn marks or stretch marks
- Vitiligo spots seeking color balance (case-by-case evaluation)
We’ll assess your skin health and tone to ensure the pigment blends flawlessly.
Longevity and Maintenance
- Results generally last 3–5 years depending on skin type, sun exposure and after-care.
- Pigment naturally fades gradually and can be refreshed with short touch-up sessions.
- Visage New York uses stable organic and inorganic pigment bases that resist color shifting under UV exposure.
Safety and Professional Standards
- Safety is our highest priority.
- All procedures follow NYC cosmetic-tattoo regulations and are performed with sterile, single-use needles and hypoallergenic pigments.
