My scar makes me feel insecure

Hiding a scar by permanently camouflaging it will help you feel so much better about yourself...but, be cautious. It takes time, money and a lot of patience! You might have to go through one or many color changes during the process! It all depends on how YOUR SKIN heals the color.

Sometimes it's better to LEAVE IT ALONE and resort to covering it with makeup. If you need help with color choices, I'll be able to assist you at my studio.

If you are willing to go the extra mile and stay with it until the end, it may bring back your confidence.

How do I cover my scar?



Most scars can be hidden by flesh toned pigments that are put in the skin with needles. You can cover your scar with camouflage work...permanently. With the right pigment color, topical anesthetic and the digital 'Nouveau' machine, it can be accomplished. In the permanent makeup industry, this is called a 'Para-medical' procedure.

For example...I had a client come to see if I could camouflage scars from a face lift. The 1 3/4 inch scar was white and located under the chin. With a simple 'color patch' test, (there were several involved) we found the closest color to the skin. Voila, no more scar!

Don't think it's that easy, though! While the end result is worth it, it does take time, patience and money. It's an investment that will bring back your confidence and self-esteem.

No more scars!

If you are a person who does not mind covering your scar with makeup every day, I will match the perfect foundation that will hide your scar. Otherwise, come and see me for scar camouflage work. You'll be happy you did.
