Scars are apparent, in part, as a result of the loss of cutaneous pigments. This disfigurement can be concealed successfully with medical-grade tattooing. This treatment was evaluated on 39 scars in 18 patients. The procedure was performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis, unless carried out in conjunction with other procedures. The medical-grade tattooing dye was selected during the initial consultation to match the skin color in a natural light ambiance. An electric tattooing machine was used to implant the medical-grade dye in the dermis. Successful concealment of the depigmented scars was achieved subsequent to the first procedure in all but 4 patients. Two of the 4 patients exhibited inadequate camouflage of scars, and 2 were judged to have excess pigmentation following treatment. Both these conditions required revision.
疤痕很明显，部分原因是皮肤色素的缺失。这种毁容情况可以通过医用纹身成功地加以掩饰。对18名患者的39处疤痕进行了这种治疗评估。该手术在局部麻醉下门诊进行，除非与其他手术同时进行。在初次咨询时选择医用纹身染料，以在自然光环境下与肤色相匹配。使用电动纹身机将医用染料植入真皮层。除4名患者外，所有患者在首次手术后都成功地掩饰了色素脱失性疤痕。这4名患者中有2名疤痕掩饰效果不佳，另外2名在治疗后被判定色素沉着过多。这两种情况都需要进行修复。
