Vitiligo Camouflage

Vitiligo is a skin condition that causes patches of skin to lose their natural pigment, creating noticeable light areas on the body. While it does not affect health, it can deeply impact confidence and self-image.

Vitiligo Camouflage Tattooing is a specialized procedure designed to blend these lighter patches with your natural skin tone using custom-blended pigments. This treatment does not cure vitiligo, but it can make the condition far less visible, helping you feel more comfortable and confident in your skin.

The Process

1. Consultation

A careful evaluation is done to check if your vitiligo is stable (not spreading for at least 1 year).

2. Whitening Procedure

Just like matching foundation, pigments are custom-blended and swatched to find your perfect skin tone.

3.Tattooing

Using fine needles, pigments are deposited into the lighter patches of skin. This also stimulates collagen and helps soften skin texture.

4. Healing

The area may be red or slightly swollen for 24–48 hours. Pigment will initially look darker, then gradually soften as the skin heals.

5. Final Results

Once fully healed (about 6–8 weeks), the treated patches blend naturally with surrounding skin.

What to Expect

Mild redness or swelling immediately after treatment.
Pigments may look darker at first, but soften during healing.
Some flaking or dryness is normal—do not pick or scratch.
Final results are visible after 6–8 weeks.

Multiple sessions may be required for larger areas or stubborn patches

Follow-Up & Touch-Ups

A follow-up is usually recommended 6–8 weeks after the initial procedure.
Depending on the size and location of patches, several sessions may be needed for the most natural outcome.
Touch-ups every 2–3 years help maintain results, as pigment may fade over time.

Pre-Procedure Care

Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood thinners 48 hours prior.
No tanning or sunburn before your session.
Stop using Retinol, Tretinoin, or harsh skin treatments 2 weeks before.
Avoid waxing, facials, or peels a week prior.
Must be 18+ and not pregnant.

Post-Procedure Care

Avoid swimming, sweating, saunas, and steam for 7–10 days.
Keep the area clean and dry, using only mild soap.
Apply aftercare ointment as directed, in a thin layer.
Do not scratch, peel, or pick at the treated area.
Avoid direct sun exposure until fully healed.

Results & Longevity

Noticeable improvement after the first treatment.
Best results seen after healing (6–8 weeks).
Long-lasting results, typically 2–5 years, depending on skin type and sun exposure.
Touch-ups help maintain an even appearance.

Vitiligo may change the way your skin looks, but it doesn’t have to change the way you feel about yourself. Vitiligo Camouflage Tattooing helps restore a sense of balance and normalcy—so you can feel more confident, natural, and comfortable in your own skin.
