Medical Scar Tattooing
Expert scar camouflage using advanced medical tattooing techniques for natural, blended results.
Restore Your Skin’s Natural Appearance. Rebuild Your Confidence.
At The De Peyer Clinic, we offer medical tattooing for scar camouflage, a highly effective technique that uses specialized pigments to blend scars seamlessly with your natural skin tone. Whether you have scars from surgery, injury, or other skin conditions, our skilled practitioners can help you achieve smoother, more even skin that restores your confidence.
What is Scar Camouflage Tattooing?
Medical tattooing for scars involves the precise application of micropigmentation (medical tattooing) to reduce the appearance of scars and improve the overall texture of the skin.
By using a range of carefully selected pigments, our practitioners work to match the colour of the scar to your natural skin tone, creating a more uniform and natural-looking appearance.
This treatment is ideal for:
Surgical scars
Acne scars
Traumatic injury scars
Burn scars
Stretch marks
Post-surgical scars (such as from C-sections or breast surgery)
Scar revision after cosmetic or reconstructive surgery
Benefits of Scar Camouflage Tattooing

The Treatment Process:
Consultation: We begin with a comprehensive consultation to assess your scars and understand your goals. Our practitioners will discuss the most appropriate treatment approach for your specific case.
Design & Colour Matching: During the consultation, we will carefully choose the pigment shades that best match your natural skin tone and scar area to ensure the most natural result.
Tattooing Session: Using a medical-grade tattoo machine and sterile needles, we apply the pigment directly to the scarred tissue. This process is precise and may take 1–2 hours, depending on the area and complexity of the scar.
Healing & Results: Healing time typically takes 7–14 days, with a follow-up session recommended to perfect the results and ensure the best possible outcome.
What to Expect:
Results can last for 3–5 years, depending on the area and skin type, with occasional touch-ups required.
Treatment duration: approx. 1–2 hours, depending on scar size and location.
Some redness or swelling may occur immediately post-treatment, but this subsides quickly.
No downtime — you can return to your normal activities right after the procedure.
Before and After
Below you can see how skin colour tattooing blends the appearance of a scar into the surrounding skin with a comparison of the area before treatment and the softer, more concealed look after.
Before: Visible scar with noticeable contrast against the surrounding skin.
After: Softly blended pigment that reduces contrast and helps the scar appear less noticeable.
Before: Visible scarring across the décolletage with uneven tone and contrast.
After: Blended pigment that smooths the appearance of the scar and creates a more uniform skin tone.
