Scar Camouflage vs Self-Tanner: tan contrast tricks vs undertone-matched pigment

Self-tanner often makes pale scars stand out more. Camouflage paints colour into the scar. 437-475-2757.

Healed surgical scar before camouflage

Why tanner fails

Hypopigmented scars respond unevenly to DHA.

Camouflage target

Undertone-matched pigment — not surface stain.

Real results and real moments

Before: a pale, hypopigmented surgical scar
Before: a pale scar that catches the light.
After: the same scar blended toward the surrounding skin tone
After: colour blended toward the skin around it. Texture is unchanged.
Custom skin-tone pigment swatches
Colour is mixed and tested for each client.

Summer

Camouflage does not tan; SPF keeps blend even.
