For pale, mature scars and stretch marks, paramedical micropigmentation implants custom skin-tone pigment into the scar — softening how much it stands out so the area reads more even. Corrective cover-up by Huma Arshad, a Canada-certified paramedical micropigmentation practitioner.
Scar camouflage is a paramedical micropigmentation procedure: fine, skin-tone pigment is implanted into a pale or white scar so its colour blends with the skin around it. The aim is to make the scar far less noticeable — not to surgically remove or resurface it.
It is different from laser scar removal, which resurfaces tissue. Camouflage instead re-colours scars that have healed lighter than your natural tone — surgical and c-section scars, mature burns, hairline scars, and silver stretch marks — so they read more even in everyday light.
Camouflage suits flat, pale, mature scars — not red, raised, or still-healing ones. Suitability is always confirmed in a consultation and patch test first.
Flat scars that have fully healed lighter than your skin — surgical, c-section, hairline, or mature burn scars.
Older, settled stretch marks that have turned pale or white respond well to colour blending.
You want the scar to read far less obvious — not a perfect erase. Results are refined over more than one session.
We review the scar's age and texture, confirm it has fully healed, then custom-blend pigment to your tone.
A small test confirms colour and skin response before treating the full scar.
Precise micropigmentation layers matched colour into the pale scar tissue.
The colour settles over a few weeks; a refinement session perfects the blend.
