Scars are a part of life, but they don't have to define you. Why are we the best place to get scar camouflage in North Carolina? Our specialized scar camouflage service uses a cosmetic tattooing technique to effectively blend scars with your surrounding skin, restoring a more natural and uniform appearance. We work with you to diminish the visibility of scars from surgery, injury, burns, and other conditions, empowering you to feel confident in your own skin again.

 

How It Works:

Scar camouflage process begins with a thorough consultation where we assesses the color, texture, and maturity of your scar. We then custom blend a pigment to precisely match your natural skin tone. Using a specialized cosmetic tattoo machine, we carefully implant the custom pigment into the scar tissue. This process fills in the discolored areas, creating a seamless and blended appearance that makes the scar less noticeable to the naked eye. This treatment is most effective on scars that are at least one year old and have a flat, smooth surface (not a keloid).

 

The Healing Process:

The healing process for scar camouflage is similar to a traditional tattoo but requires patience. Immediately after the procedure, the treated area will be red, slightly swollen, and the pigment may appear darker than the final result. Over the next few weeks, a light scab will form and then flake off. It is crucial to follow our aftercare instructions meticulously to ensure proper healing and color retention. This includes keeping the area clean, avoiding sun exposure, and refraining from picking at the scabs. The final color of the pigment will reveal itself over the course of 4 to 6 weeks. For optimal results, multiple sessions will be needed, spaced 6-8 weeks apart, as scar tissue can be unpredictable. We will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan and ensure you achieve the best possible outcome.

 

Dark Scars:

Dark scars require a special touch. We believe in a phased approach that works with your skin, not against it. Our Powder Scar Treatment is a revolutionary, 100% organic method designed specifically to naturally lighten dark scars before any camouflage tattooing begins. I typically use Powder Scar treatment first.

​

Why this two-step process? Simply applying ink over a dark scar can lead to an unnatural, muddy appearance. Our goal is to create a beautiful, natural-looking result, and that starts by first correcting the underlying hyperpigmentation. We use a potent organic powder to stimulate your skin's healing and color-correcting abilities without the use of a tattoo machine.

This unique treatment heals in just three weeks faster than the 4-6 week healing time for a tattooing. You’ll know it’s working when you see initial redness and swelling; this is your skin actively responding and beginning to heal. Over the next few weeks, the discoloration will start to fade.

​

After your three-week recovery, you'll come back in to begin the scar lightening process with ink, if needed. This careful and deliberate approach ensures the final results are flawless, giving you the confidence you deserve.

Scars typically start at $250.
