DERMINK
Expert medical dermal pigmentation & scar management in Brisbane and Gold Coast.
Medical dermal pigmentation is a minimally invasive, semi-permanent technique that uses medically formulated, hypoallergenic pigments to correct, conceal, and improve the cosmetic appearance of scars, stretch marks, birthmarks, and pigmentation conditions.
Some imperfections are congenital, meaning a person is born with them. These can happen because of genetics, how the body develops in the womb, or sometimes for reasons doctors don’t fully understand.
Expert Care
Some imperfections are congenital, meaning a person is born with them. These can happen because of genetics, how the body develops in the womb, or sometimes for reasons doctors don’t fully understand.
Other imperfections can happen later in life due to:
- Accidents (injuries, burns, trauma)
- Illness
- Birthmarks
- Surgery/Trauma (sometimes scars or complications)
- Certain medications or medical treatments
None of these make someone less valuable or less worthy. A body can change, but a person’s worth doesn’t.
It’s important to remember that what we call “imperfections” are often just differences. Many people live full, confident, meaningful lives with scars, disabilities, or visible differences.
Life happens, scars are inevitable. But we can help to minimise their appearance of unslightly scars or skin pigmentation disorders, rendering them difficult to detect even upon close inspection as part of aesthetic care. Our goal is to make your perceived skin imperfections as unobtrusive as possible, using strategies such as thoughtful patient selection, thorough preoperative preparation, with minimally invasive techniques, little or no downtown and attentive postoperative care.
Hypopigmented Scars (white)
A hypopigmented scar is a type of scar that appears lighter than the surrounding skin because the area has less melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color.
By carefully implanting custom-blended medical grade pigments into your scar, we are able to restore a more natural colour.
Hyerpigmented (darkened) Areas
DermInk treats a wide range of hyperpigmented (darkened) skin areas to help our patients look and feel their best.
We have been in practice over 15 years and have treated thousands of patients using advanced medical dermal pigmentation techniques.
Birthmark Concealment
Birthmarks are natural marks on the skin that are present at birth or develop shortly afterward.
They can vary in color, size, and shape depending on whether they are caused by extra pigment cells or blood vessels.
Cosmetic Surgery Scars
Visible facelift scars can sometimes remain along the hairline or around the ears after surgery, appearing lighter, redder, or more noticeable than the surrounding skin.
We can reduce the tell-tale signs of your facelift.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does medical dermal pigmentation hurt?
The procedure is considered painless by 95% of our patients. We use advanced techniques to ensure your comfort, and there is minimal to no downtime required following a session.
How long do the results last?
Unlike standard makeup or topical creams that wash off, medical dermal pigmentation provides semi-permanent to permanent coverage. The pigments are implanted into the dermal layer, offering long-lasting camouflage that gradually fades naturally over several years.
Am I a suitable candidate?
Most individuals with mature, flat scars (healed for at least 6 to 12 months) are excellent candidates. We offer complimentary consultations for patients of Dr David Chin to thoroughly assess your skin and determine the best treatment plan.
