Paramedical pigments are the skin-tone and camouflage colors used beyond cosmetic brow and lip work — scar camouflage, skin repigmentation, areola restoration and skin-tone matching. Rather than adding a decorative color, they are blended to disappear into the surrounding skin, which makes them some of the most technical pigments an artist will use.
Skin-tone work depends on reading undertone and depth precisely and building the match in layers, and it is firmly advanced, medical-adjacent territory — best undertaken with dedicated paramedical training.

Frequently asked
What are paramedical pigments used for?
Skin-tone and camouflage work — blending scars, stretch marks or areas of lost pigment back toward the surrounding skin, areola restoration after surgery, and skin-tone matching. The goal is a color that disappears into the skin rather than one that stands out.
How is a skin-tone set used?
A skin-tone set gives a range of bases that are read against the client's skin and mixed to match undertone and depth, then built in light layers. Matching is done conservatively — it is easier to deepen a camouflage than to lift one that healed too dark.
Is paramedical work suitable for every PMU artist?
No. Camouflage and repigmentation are advanced, medical-adjacent procedures with a real risk of a mismatch that is hard to reverse. They should be undertaken only with dedicated paramedical training and, where appropriate, in coordination with a medical professional.
Are the paramedical pigments vegan?
Yes. The Elite x Perma Blend paramedical line is vegan.
