Scar camouflage tattooing has become one of the most effective and confidence-restoring solutions for clients looking to minimize the appearance of surgical scars, tummy-tuck incisions, 360 lipo lines, and stretch marks. At Microblading Los Angeles and Microblading Newport Beach, we specialize in advanced paramedical tattooing tailored to each client’s skin tone, scar type, and healing pattern.
This guide walks you through everything you need to know — from types of scars and treatment suitability, to pricing, healing, and what to expect during each session.
What Is Scar Camouflage Tattooing?
Scar camouflage is a form of paramedical micropigmentation that uses specialized pigments to blend scar tissue with the surrounding skin. The goal is not to “erase” a scar, but to make it visually disappear by matching color, tone, and undertones with precision.
This technique is ideal for scars that are:
Lighter than the surrounding skin
Flat and fully healed
Discolored (light or slightly hyperpigmented)
Causing contrast against the natural skin tone
Because Los Angeles and Orange County have some of the highest rates of cosmetic procedures, this treatment has become especially popular among tummy-tuck and 360 lipo patients seeking a more seamless finish.
Types of Scars Eligible for Camouflage
Not all scars are the same — and they require different pigment strategies. Here’s a breakdown of the most common types we treat at our LA and OC studios.
1. Tummy Tuck Scars (Hip-to-Hip or Partial)
Tummy-tuck (abdominoplasty) scars often run from hip to hip, sitting low on the abdomen. They may be:
White / hypopigmented
Flat
Slightly stretched
Partially pigmented in some areas
Full Hip-to-Hip Scar
This is the classic tummy-tuck scar that spans across the lower abdomen. Best treated in 2–3 sessions, each spaced 6–8 weeks apart.
Partial Tummy Tuck Scar
This applies when the scar does not fully extend across the abdomen or is segmented. Often requires less working time and may fall into the “partial abdomen” category.
2. 360 Lipo Scars
These are small circular entry-point scars around:
The abdomen
Lower back
Flanks
Bra line
Hips
These scars may be:
White
Grayish
Brown
Slightly textured
Depending on the number of scars and distribution, multiple small camouflage zones are created for an even finish.
3. White or Hypopigmented Scars
These are some of the easiest scars to camouflage because the color contrast is simply lighter than the surrounding skin.
Common causes include:
Surgical incisions
Breast augmentation
Arm lipo
Facelift scars
Injury marks
White scars typically require 2 sessions, with excellent retention
4. Hyperpigmented Spots Around Scars
Some tummy-tuck scars heal with:
Darker edges
Brown patches
Mixed-toned areas
These may require:
Neutralization before camouflage
Careful color balancing
A multi-session approach
Our LA and OC studios specialize in undertone correction for these complex cases.
5. Flat, Fully Healed Scars
These are ideal candidates for scar camouflage. They must be:
At least 12 months old, and
Free of raised or keloid texture
Flat scars take pigment well and typically blend beautifully with the surrounding skin.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
Most clients need 2 sessions, but some require 3 depending on:
Skin tone
Pigment retention
Scar type
Whether neutralization is needed
General Guidelines
Session 1: Base camouflage + initial color placement
Session 2 (6–8 weeks later): Perfecting, blending, and density adjustments
Session 3 (optional, 8–12 weeks later): Final refinement for complex scars
