Most initial appointments last 60 to 90 minutes, including consultation, color matching, and pigment application. Follow-up touch-ups are shorter; exact time depends on scar texture, location, and individual skin response.

Most clients report mild discomfort during pigment application, similar to light scratching. We apply topical numbing to minimize sensation and ensure comfort. Aftercare may include mild tenderness; cold compresses and over-the-counter pain relief help.

Many scars require one to two sessions for optimal color blending, though older or textured scars may need additional touch-ups. Your practitioner will evaluate healing, pigment retention, and color match at follow-up.

Camouflage pigments are long-lasting but not entirely permanent. Sun exposure, skin turnover, and individual factors gradually lighten pigments. Periodic maintenance sessions—typically every few years—help refresh color and maintain seamless blending.

Ideal candidates are healthy adults with healed, non-inflamed scars up to five inches who seek color correction. Those with active infections, keloid-prone skin, or certain conditions should consult our specialist for suitability.

Aftercare includes keeping the area clean, avoiding sun exposure, and applying recommended ointments. Avoid swimming, saunas, and heavy friction until healed. Follow-up appointments assess pigment settling and allow touch-ups as needed.
