Most sessions take 60–90 minutes depending on scar size, depth and location. Many clients require two to three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart to achieve gradual color layering and precise texture matching for the most natural, long-lasting concealment.

Generally yes; most mature scars, surgical scars, and some burn scars respond well. Recent or unstable scars, keloids, or inflamed tissue require medical clearance. We assess scar age and condition during consultation to determine candidacy and expected outcomes.

Results are long-lasting but not permanent; pigments gradually fade over years depending on sun exposure, skin type and aftercare. Touch-up sessions every few years refresh color and maintain optimal camouflage. We provide personalized maintenance recommendations.

Discomfort is usually mild. We use topical numbing creams and gentle techniques to minimize pain. Sensations feel like light scratching; most clients tolerate sessions well. Discuss sensitivity or medical concerns during your consultation for tailored pain management.

Aftercare includes keeping area clean, avoiding sun and swimming for two weeks, and applying recommended ointments. Avoid exfoliants or heavy makeup until healed. Follow-up visits confirm pigment settling and schedule touch-ups as needed for perfect camouflage.
