Say Goodbye to Dark Circles: Exploring Camouflage Tattooing

Do you find yourself reaching for concealer every morning to minimize the appearance of under-eye dark circles? If so, Dark Circles Camouflage Tattooing could be the ideal, long-lasting solution to rejuvenate the delicate skin around your eyes.

This specialized under-eye concealer tattoo offers results that typically last between one and three years with minimal upkeep. To maintain that refreshed brightness, a simple follow-up session can be scheduled after this period.

The journey to a brighter under-eye area often involves a series of sessions, typically ranging from 1 to 5 treatments, each lasting approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. This is a subtle art that requires patience, as the initial improvements usually become noticeable around one month after your first treatment.

Unlike traditional cosmetic tattooing that deposits noticeable color, this innovative technique works differently. It subtly lightens the skin by introducing tiny pigment microparticles. These particles create a light-reflecting shield within the skin, effectively reducing the visibility of under-eye darkness to the naked eye. Even upon close inspection, the treated area will appear much like a dusting of translucent loose powder.

What to Expect During Your Treatment: A carefully chosen light skin-matching pigment is gently implanted into the very superficial layer of the skin, less than 0.1 mm deep, just beneath the epidermis. This precise and shallow placement ensures that the capillaries remain untouched, eliminating any risk of bleeding or bruising. Clients may occasionally experience very minimal and temporary skin swelling.

It's crucial to understand that under-eye camouflage tattooing doesn't alter your natural skin tone. Instead, it creates a light-diffusing layer between the capillaries (the source of the darkness) and the surface of your skin. This means your skin will still tan naturally when exposed to the sun.

The ultimate goal of this treatment is to achieve a refreshed, naturally brighter, and less tired appearance, rather than creating a heavy, opaque layer of pigment. This is why multiple sessions may be necessary to achieve a seamless and natural-looking result that is specifically tailored to your individual needs and the severity of your dark circles.

The process is designed to be completely painless and safe for your eyes. If more than one session is recommended to achieve your desired outcome, these will typically be scheduled with a 5 to 12-week interval between them. A personalized assessment is essential to determine the most suitable treatment plan for you.

Can Keloid or Hypertrofic scars be treated with Inkless Scar Revision tretment?
Unfortunately, Inkless Scar Revision treatment cannot be used for keloid scars. While this might be disappointing news, it's important to prioritize safety and effectiveness when treating scars. Keloid scars are known to be particularly sensitive and prone to worsening with certain treatments.
How many Inkless Scar Revision treatments are required?
The number of treatments needed for Inkless Scar Revision varies depending on several factors: Scar characteristics: Size, depth, age, and type of scar tissue all influence treatment needs. Skin type: Lighter skin tones typically respond better than darker ones. Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions may affect healing and treatment outcomes.
Can I get Skin Camouflage after Inkless Scar Revision treatment?
Absolutely! After we flatten the scar tissue and improve the overall texture of the skin, we can perfectly match the white scar to your natural skin tone using a technique called Skin Camouflage.
What scars can be concealed with skin camouflage?
Dasha can expertly conceal and match a wide range of scars to your natural skin tone, including:

Surgical scars

Plastic surgery scars

Pregnancy stretch marks

Self-harm scars

White & Pigmented Scars

Vitiligo

Radiation markers

Burns

Are you a candidate for scar camouflage?
You may be a candidate if you meet the following criteria:

Your scar should be healed and no longer pink or changing color.

Your scar should be at least 12 months old with stable color. If it is red, pink, or still changing color, the scar tissue may still be healing.

Smooth and relatively flat: Camouflage tattooing cannot disguise or correct extreme changes in skin texture. If your scar tissue or surface area is irregular or raised, the process may not be effective. You may consider scar revision treatments, such as ISR (scar revision), to smooth out the scar prior to camouflage tattooing.

You must not have any of the following: keloids, port-wine birthmarks, spider veins, or unstable vitiligo (not in remission). These conditions can be improved with non-tattoo medical treatments such as lasers, sclerotherapy, or chemical peels. Please consult with a physician regarding the best course of treatment for these conditions.

Have realistic expectations: Camouflage tattooing will not completely restore skin to its pre-injury appearance. The process will not "erase" a scar or skin anomaly so that it appears completely gone and the area looks "perfect" again. It improves color differences to help disguise the scar or anomaly and make it less noticeable.

Limit sun exposure: A scar camouflage tattoo will not be a "perfect" match to the surrounding skin color. This is due to the constant changes in skin tones from blood flow, body temperature, and tanning. The pigment in the tattoo will not darken when exposed to sunlight or tanning booths, so the tattoo may appear lighter if the surrounding skin tans. When the tattoo color matches tanned skin, it may appear darker once the surrounding tan fades. Therefore, if you spend time outdoors, you will need to adjust your lifestyle or decide to match the tattoo to "winter" or "summer" skin and accept the color variations in between.

Understand that results are not immediate: Camouflage re-pigmentation is a process, not a one-time "cure." Its response cannot be predicted—a scar or vitiligo patch may have areas that absorb pigment, reject it, or both. The area will look dark and red immediately after a tattooing session, and then it takes several weeks to show the healed color (or lack thereof). This requires time and patience.

Areas that are not good for camouflage
HANDS & FINGERS, FOOT & TOES. First of all, it can be difficult to let them heal fully since you need to use your hands all the time. And, even after the tattoos heal, they’re still high-maintenance with all the constant hydration and touch-ups. It is fade faster than other tattoos – a finger tattoo will start to fade 6 to 8 months after healing, and lose color after a year. It is hurt, a lot – because of the nerve endings, thin skin, and almost zero muscles around the bones, finger tattoos can hurt like hell. Fingers have thousands of nerve endings, and the overall surface is pretty thin and delicate, which means the tattoo needle touches the bone directly. Fingers are generally considered to be one of the most painful tattoo placements. They require frequent touch-ups – if you want your tattoo to look fresh and crisp, you will need to visit your tattooist frequently for a touch-up. It can get pretty expensive – because of the frequent touch-ups, the skin camouflage on these areas may cost you more than you initially expected.
Does Skin Camouflage treatment remove stretch marks/ scars / vitiligo?
The Camouflage Tattoo only helps to conceal and diminish the appearance of scars/stretch marks/vitiligo so that they are less perceptible to the naked eye. Think of it as having a permanent filter, taking away the white contrast of your scars.
Is skin camouflage treatment suitable for all skin types?
Generally, yes! However, there are a small number of people who the treatment would not be suitable for. Your stretch marks and scars need to be at least one year old, lighter than your skin tone and completely healed. NOT A CANDIDATE If your stretch marks aren’t white, then it most likely means they are still healing and can eventually lighten up to a white color. Keeping the integrity your skin is our highest priority so we do require stretch marks and scars to be fully healed. As a general rule, clients who have red, pink, dark, grey or skin colored stretch marks are not a candidate for ink, but may be a candidate for our inkless camouflage technique using a blend of serums and oils to boost collagen.
Who is scar camouflage not recommended for:
Anyone who suffers from hemophilia, seizures and epilepsy, cold, flu; has active acne, eczema, psoriasis, keloid scars, hypertrophic scars on the area to be treated; women who are pregnant or breastfeeding anyone undergoing chemotherapy, who has a pacemaker or major heart problems, has immunodeficiency, organ transplant, is currently using or has been on Accutane for less than one year.
How long will the results of the skin camouflage last?
According to our industry, it will last 2 to 4 years, or more provided that the correct after-care procedures are adhered to.

You may or may not need a touch up after 2-4 years. Remember, a stretch mark is a scar and so the skin is trickier to penetrate. In addition, as we age, all tattoos transition and change on our skin because there’s less elasticity and melanin production. This can affect your stretch mark camouflage tattoo, as well.

WHY DO SCAR CAMOUFLAGE TATTOOS FADE? Pigment particles exposed to the UV rays of the sun breaks down over time. Pigment particles in your skin used to create your scar camouflage tattoos are exposed to the UV rays of the sun. To prevent premature fading, you will need to use sunblock consistently. Avoiding the sun, tanning beds, retinol, alpha hydroxy, and use of glycolic acids such as fruit acids commonly found in some toners, cleansers and moisturizers will help with the longevity of your scar camouflage tattoo.

Can i get skin camouflage if my skin is already tanned?
We prefer to match only your natural skin tone, and require that our clients postpone their session until their tan has faded. This ensures that we are able to custom blend an ink color that will look most natural whether you’re tanned or not.
What happens when I tan?
Your camouflaged stretch marks, vitiligo and scars will not change colour. If you tan, your skin’s overtone will darken, but your stretch marks/scars will remain the same colour as your natural skin-toned ink tattoo. Overall, your stretch marks/scars/vitiligo will still be camouflaged because the “white” is no longer there. In short, there’s less of an obvious contrast.
