Initial surface healing usually occurs within 7-14 days; full settling of pigments and final appearance can take 6-8 weeks. Follow provided aftercare instructions, avoid sun exposure, and attend scheduled follow-up sessions for optimal results.

Camouflage significantly reduces scar visibility by blending pigments to surrounding skin tones. Complete disappearance is unlikely because texture and depth affect outcomes. Many clients see dramatic improvement; multiple sessions and realistic expectations discussed at consultation ensure natural-looking results.

Most clients report only mild discomfort; we apply topical anesthetic before and during the session to minimize sensation. Pain tolerance varies, but breaks and pacing are offered. Expect temporary tenderness and redness which subside within days with proper aftercare.

Often one session provides substantial improvement, but 1–3 sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart produce the best match and pigment stability. Number depends on scar color, texture, and how well pigments take; your specialist will recommend a tailored plan.

Raised scars and keloids may not accept pigment evenly and carry higher complication risks. We evaluate scar type during consultation and may recommend other treatments before camouflage or decline if unsuitable to protect your safety and achieve realistic results.

Keep the area clean and gently moisturized, avoid swimming and saunas for two weeks, and protect from sun with high SPF after healing. Do not pick scabs; attend your follow-up appointment for assessment and any necessary touch-up work.
