How to prepare clients for camouflage sessions

October 11, 2024

At NUE Conceal, we understand that preparing for a camouflage session can feel overwhelming. Whether you're considering stretch mark tattoo treatments or looking to address scarring, proper preparation is key to achieving optimal results. This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know to get ready for your session.

Understanding the camouflage process

Paramedical tattooing has revolutionized the way we approach scar and stretch mark concealment. At NUE Conceal, our advanced techniques go beyond traditional methods, offering natural-looking results that can significantly boost your confidence.

What is paramedical tattooing?

Paramedical tattooing is a specialized form of cosmetic tattooing that focuses on:

  • Color-matching existing skin tones
  • Carefully concealing various types of scars and stretch marks
  • Creating natural-looking results that blend seamlessly

Our scar tattoo procedures use cutting-edge technology like the NUE Precision 3 to ensure precise pigment application and optimal results.
