Skin 52 is a new scar camouflage micro-pigmentation treatment. It is a technique that implants skin colour pigment onto the area of each individual’s concern, specifically for hypopigmented regions to achieve a more even skin tone. The treatment is the first of its kind to come with a skin-dedicated device that analyses the skin tone of each individual to find a near-perfect pigment match.

The patented Skin52 device utilises 20,000 colour algorithms to find the closest pigment shade to each individual’s skin tone within 10 seconds. The selected pigment is then deposited into the skin with a micro-pigmentation technique to disguise a scar or treat a skin area that is missing pigment or colour.

With Skin52 application, you can treat lots of different hypopigmented scar regions — one of most common being stretch marks. Medically-managed vitiligo, self-harm scars, and surgical scars are also effectively covered by the Skin52 procedure.

The aftercare for Skin52 treatments is much like other cosmetic tattoo treatments. The area treated cannot be wet for the first 24 hours, mild redness may last up to 2–3 weeks, and Bepanthen cream or wound dressing gel is advised to use on the area for the first 10–12 days. 

It all depends on the indentation of scars and skin condition. Usually stretch marks camouflage treatment will take 2–3 sessions. Larger surgery scars which come with deep indentation may take a few more sessions.
