Brazilian Camouflage
The cost of the Scar Camouflage procedure can vary depending on the location and severity of the stretch marks or scar. Prices typically range from $350 to $2,000 or more per area. To provide an accurate quote, we require an initial consultation, which can be done in-person or virtually. The initial consultation is complimentary for all of our clients.

Brazilian Scar Camouflage is a specialized form of paramedical tattooing aimed at disguising scars caused by stretch marks, burns, surgeries, injuries, hyperpigmentation, and other skin imperfections. The procedure involves tattooing over the affected areas using a personalized blend of pigments that closely match the patient's skin tone. This allows the treated areas to seamlessly blend with the surrounding skin, resulting in complete camouflage of the targeted imperfection.
It is important to note that Scar Camouflage does not alter the texture or color of the skin. The procedure focuses on improving the tone of the skin, providing an aesthetic solution for contrast concerns. While Scar Camouflage cannot cure scars or stretch marks, it has gained prominence in the beauty industry for its ability to deliver natural-looking results.
At Skyn Med Spa, we prioritize the natural appearance of the skin by using the patient's own skin color as a reference. Our goal is to provide you with results that look completely natural and harmonious with your overall complexion.
If you are interested in our Scar Camouflage services or would like to learn more, we encourage you to schedule an initial consultation. Our dedicated team will be happy to guide you through the process and address any questions or concerns you may have. Contact us today to take the first step towards achieving the appearance you desire.
Who is a Good Candidate?
A good candidate for Brazilian camouflage for stretch marks and scars are people with Stretch Marks and scars older than 2 years and have to be lighter than your skin color.
Types of Stretchmarks
The Red/Purple stretchmarks- these are the most recent stretch marks, which are in the process of inflammation meaning that the tissue was not totally destroyed and there is still blood circulating on the site. You may experience an itch. With time, the lines will gradually lose the tone to become whitish, sometimes with pearly aspect, called violet. (Note this type of Stretch marks can’t be treated with Camouflage until it heals and turns white) White (albas striae) shallow and narrow: Usually there is no difference in the texture of the skin and have little sensitivity to touch. White (albas) deep and wide striations: perceptible to the touch, as linear depressions, the skin is thinner, soft and flaccid, normally violaceous (of violet color), because it is possible to see intact tissues behind the stretchmark.
Scar Camouflage Tattoo vs Micropigmentation:
There are fundamental differences between a Scar Camouflage Tattoo and a Micropigmentation procedure. The most notable difference is where the treatment takes place, during a camouflage tattoo procedure a uniquely matched, insoluble pigment is deposited into the dermis where the colour remains stable and is protected from absorption, fading, and the effects of the sun. The micropigmentation process takes place in the epidermis where the pigments over time will fade due to the body's natural cellular renewal process. Fading or colour change will also occur due to sun exposure and the proximity of the inks to the surface of the skin. The pigments used for Scar Camouflage Tattoos differ from those used in Micropigmentation, as tattoo inks are insoluble, unlike their soluble counterparts used in the Micropigmentation process, which in time will be absorbed by the body.
How many sessions will I need?
The sessions are very safe and are designed to work based on your natural skin tone. The procedure is performed in a single session, however, in some cases, after 60 days, a small refinement session is required.
The advantages of the treatment are many:
- • It is a minimally invasive and definitive procedure.
- • It is safe and the results are guaranteed.
- • It offers personalized solutions that last.
- • It can be performed on any type of skin.
Aftercare and Guidelines:
- After 3 hours, remove the bandages gently and wash with warm water and mild soap. DO NOT REBANDAGE.
- First 3 days: Ice 2x a day (20 minutes, each area).
- After the 3rd day, stop the process of icing and maintain with the ointments listed below for over 10 days.
- Apply a thin layer of A7D Ointment or Neosporin 3 times a day.
- Stay out of sunlight and tanning booths until tattoo is healed for 40 days.
- In the first 40 days the pigmented region will become darker.
- In the first 7 days, avoid physical exercise.
- In the first 30 days, do not use sunscreen, sunblock, self-tanner, no substance that contains vitamin D, or that stimulate the production of vitamin D, or any substance with photo-sensitizing agents.
- Do not soak tattoo in a tub, sauna, Jacuzzi or go swimming while your new tattoo is healing. Showers are fine.
- Do not rub or pick the treated area while it is healing. Loss of colour and /or infection could occur.
- Extreme sun and exposure over the years can and will fade your tattoo. This can be minimized by using a strong sunscreen, at lease SPF25.
- Your tattoo should heal in 4 weeks. Consult a physician if any signs or symptoms develop such as the following: redness at site, green/yellow discharge (foul smelling and/or fever.
Tanned Skin:
It's recommended to only do treatments on areas of the body that have not been recently tanning in the sun or using a tanning bed. Their natural skin tone is required for best results. Once the tan fades an appointment can be booked for treatment. If these guidelines are not strictly adhered to, you could run the risk of applying the wrong pigments. You will need to wait approximately 40 days until natural skin tone has returned.
Can this technique be performed for all kind of imperfections?
No, the procedure should only be performed on stabilized skin that is beyond the final stages of cicatrization (the process of wound healing to produce scar tissue). In most cases, the qualified affected areas will appear lighter in tone to the surrounding skin.
Why is this method perfect for skin imperfections?
In the case of stretch marks, the thin area between the unaffected skin is healthy and only appears different in tone. The method we will cover creates a high impact and visually superior finish, as it makes it very difficult to distinguish the affected areas to the unaffected.
Can this procedure work on deep scaring or wounds?
Yes, however, the procedure in no way smooths out or "cures" the skin. This processes will effectively camouflage the affected areas allowing it to go undetected.
What if I gain or lose weight post treatment? Does this compromise the results?
the procedure only applies to the existing camouflaged area. Any subsequent transformation are not the responsibility of the professional, but can be retouched if changes occur.
Can this procedure be performed on all skin colours and types?
Almost all skin types and colours can be worked on as long as they qualify for the procedure with regards to healing around proposed area.
Can I sunbathe after the procedure?
Sunbathing is permitted as long as the aftercare protocol is adhered to. Direct sun exposure should be avoided for 60 days post procedure.
Does the treated area change colour with sun exposure?
No, the pigments will retain their tone even when the surrounding areas is tanned. It's always recommended to tan with the appropriate sunscreen.
Is the procedure painful?
Variables like personal pain tolerances, skin sensitivity and the treatment area. It is difficult to predict for everyone. Typically, there is no pain attributed with the procedures as the treatment area is comprised of skin that has been stretched or damaged.
How long does this procedure take?
The procedure can take one to six hours per session, over one to three sessions.
Inkless Rejuvenation
The cost of the Inkless Rejuvenation procedure can vary depending on the location and severity of the stretch marks or scars. Prices typically range from $350 to $2,000 or more per area. To provide an accurate quote, we require an initial consultation, which can be done in-person or virtually. The initial consultation is complimentary for all of our clients. During this consultation, our experienced professionals will assess your specific case and provide a personalized quote based on your needs.
Inkless Rejuvenation is an innovative method specifically designed to conceal and diminish the appearance of red, transparent, and dark stretch marks. This technique is considered one of the best solutions for improving the overall appearance of stretch marks and scars.
The procedure involves penetrating the affected areas with a mixture of specialized serums, including organic oils and vitamin C. These serums work to enhance cellular turnover, reconstruct and rejuvenate the Fibroblast cells, Collagen, and Elastin in the skin. The tailored serum cocktail is carefully applied to fill in the marks or scars, resulting in a smoother and more refined appearance.

Stretch Marks:
The elastin fibers in the dermis layer are responsible for making the skin elastic and firm. These fibers typically produce adequate quantities of the major nutrient collagen.
When the skin becomes overstretched, the dermis layer which lies between the epidermis and hypodermis, gets torn. This action disrupts the production of collagen, causing the skin to stretch beyond its limits. The lack of collagen compounds the issue by makes it so the skin is unable to return to its original position, causing stretch marks appear on the surface of the skin.
Common Cause
• Pregnancy
• Puberty
• Rapid weight gain / loss
• Medical conditions
Concerns
• Problems with self-image
• Anxiety
• Avoiding events that expose the body
• Burning and Itching

Age, hormones, diet, UV rays and more can all impact the health and vibrancy of our skin. Covering up blemishes and large pores with makeup is a short-term solution at best, but it’s all we’ve known up until now. If you’re tired of working around your skin’s imperfections, now may be the time to fight back with a BBGlow treatment. Set your expectations high! This treatment is designed to improve the look and feel of your skin fast, with visible improvements often discernable immediately after your first skin glow treatment.

- Reduced Hyperpigmentation
- Brighter, more radiant skin
- A more even skin tone
- Reduced Rosacea

During that time you would have noticed eliminated redness, hyperpigmentation, minor defects and flaws, providing the best no-makeup, makeup look you’ve ever seen.
There is no pain or downtime with the treatment, so you can resume your routine as soon as you finish. You will see immediate results, as the serum continues to work for two weeks after your treatment.
Many clients repeat the treatment two to three times to maximize its effectiveness. BBserum is free of parabens, fragrances, alcohols, and allergens.
Calming Mask:
The Calming Mask effortlessly restores a revitalized, healthy-looking complexion. Featuring a unique design that fits closely on the face, its formula synergizes amino acids and refreshing cellulose from fermented coconut water to brighten and replenish dull, thirsty complexions. Infused with an Anti-aging and Natural Active Serum, the soothing face mask delivers long-lasting hydration, whilst defending against dryness caused by environmental aggressors. Gentle enough for use on all complexions, skin is left soft, smooth and supple with a radiant glow.
LED Light Therapy
LED: Light Emitting Diode, therapy was originally developed by NASA to help Navy Seals recover from their wounds and regenerate muscle. However, it wasn’t long before researchers discovered its unique therapeutic benefits in the world of cosmetic skincare—namely that certain frequencies of light reduce fine lines and wrinkles, stimulate collagen production, and increase new tissue growth. We leave the serum on for an extra 20 minutes under the LED light. The light will help with the absorption of the product and the production of collagen.

Candice has restored my self-confidence. Babies are a blessing but post-pregnancy, I was left with the “mask” and unsightly stretch marks. Candice listened to my concerns and addressed each with a solution. She made me feel comfortable and reassured me through the entire process. I am filled with gratitude to Candice for putting me back together and making me feel comfortable in my own skin. I highly recommend to both men and women who are looking to feel renewed.
