Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Scar Coverage.

Scar Coverage uses medical-grade pigments and precise micro-pigmentation techniques to replicate surrounding skin tones, camouflaging texture and color irregularities. Our artists assess scar type and design a tailored plan, often requiring one or two sessions for optimal blending.

Clients report only mild discomfort during Scar Coverage; topical numbing is applied to minimize sensation. Downtime is short—expect minor redness or tenderness for a few days, avoiding heavy sweating, sun exposure, and swimming during initial healing.

Results vary but Scar Coverage typically lasts 12–24 months depending on skin type, sun exposure, and aftercare. Fading is natural—annual touch-ups or color refresh sessions help maintain seamless coverage and long-term results.

Many scar types can be treated, including surgical, acne, and stretch marks; however, recent or active wounds must fully heal first. Hypertrophic or keloid scars require careful assessment—our specialists will recommend alternatives if Scar Coverage isn't suitable.

We use color-matching techniques and subtle gradation to blend pigment with your natural skin tone. A test patch and follow-up adjustments ensure the best match, though multiple sessions sometimes refine color and texture blending.

Avoid sun tanning, chemical peels, retinoids, blood-thinning medications, and excessive alcohol for at least 72 hours before your Scar Coverage appointment. Bring medical history and photos of the scar; our team will review expectations and aftercare.
