Scar Camouflage Before & After Case 2589
Case Details
This patient presented with a dark, discolored scar that contrasted significantly with the surrounding skin. Scar camouflage was recommended as a non-surgical solution focused on improving color uniformity rather than altering scar texture.
The treatment involved a customized pigment blend designed to match the patient’s natural skin tone. Using micro-needling techniques, pigment was carefully deposited into the scar tissue to neutralize darker coloration and help the scar blend more seamlessly with the surrounding area.
Each session lasted approximately 15 minutes and was performed without numbing due to minimal discomfort. The patient experienced temporary redness and mild swelling, which resolved within a few days. No downtime was required.
Although treatments are typically spaced six weeks apart, this patient completed two sessions approximately three months apart due to scheduling. Noticeable improvement was seen after the first treatment, with additional refinement achieved during the second session.
At the conclusion of treatment, the scar demonstrated improved color consistency and a more natural appearance. The patient was advised on proper aftercare to support long-lasting results.
