What is “Medical Camouflage” (Medical Pigmentation), a procedure used to camouflage scars (wounds/surgical marks) or vitiligo?

Medical camouflage is a procedure that uses permanent makeup techniques to even out areas of pigment loss (whitening) such as surgical scars, burn scars, stretch marks, or vitiligo, by using medical pigments that perfectly match the person’s natural skin tone. This is not a treatment; it is an optical illusion and the art of camouflage. The specialist analyzes the healthy skin color around the person, prepares a special skin-tone mix in the laboratory, and fills the white areas of the scars with a needle. The first requirement for the procedure is that at least one year has passed since the scar was created and the tissue has fully healed (matured).
