Treatment and Healing
04
The scar is assessed for maturity, color, texture, location, and overall treatment candidacy. We will discuss your goals and recommend the most appropriate treatment package based on the size and complexity of the area.
Pigments are carefully blended to complement your natural skin tone and reduce the visible contrast between the scar and surrounding skin.
Pigment is gradually implanted into the scar tissue. The treated area will change in appearance throughout the healing process, and the final color cannot be evaluated immediately after treatment.
Progressive Results
Scar camouflage typically requires multiple sessions to build and refine the result. Outcomes vary according to the scar tissue, complexion, healing response, aftercare, and other individual factors.
Scar camouflage is intended to improve visible color differences. It does not remove the scar or correct raised, indented, or otherwise altered texture.
