Scar camouflage and dark scar correction

Camouflage and revision for surgical scars, traumatic scars, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — with dedicated protocols for dark and raised scars on melanin-rich skin, where standard camouflage technique most often falls short.

How It Works

About this treatment

There are two distinct approaches, and the right one depends on the scar. Camouflage places flesh-toned pigment into the scar to blend it toward surrounding skin. Inkless revision uses no pigment at all — it works on the scar's own texture and tone through controlled collagen induction. Some cases call for one, some for both in sequence.

Dark scars are where most camouflage work goes wrong. Depositing pigment into hyperpigmented or raised tissue can darken it further, and technique developed on lighter skin does not transfer. Rebecca works with protocols built specifically for Fitzpatrick IV–VI and trains other artists in them.

Honest expectations matter here more than anywhere else. Some scars respond dramatically, some improve moderately, and some are not good candidates at all. Your consultation tells you which yours is before you spend anything.

Before Anything Is Scheduled

Your virtual consultation is free

Every case is different. Scar age, size, texture, skin tone, and any prior treatment all change what a plan looks like — which is why pricing is never quoted sight unseen. Your virtual consultation costs nothing, and you leave it knowing whether you're a candidate, what the plan involves, and exactly what it costs before you commit to anything.

Common Questions

Scar Camouflage & Dark Scar Correction

What is the difference between camouflage and inkless revision?

Camouflage adds flesh-toned pigment to blend the scar toward surrounding skin. Inkless revision uses no pigment — it works on the scar's own texture and tone. Which one suits your scar is determined at consultation.

Can you treat dark scars on Black or brown skin?

Yes. This is a specialty. Melanin-rich skin requires different protocols because standard camouflage technique can worsen hyperpigmentation, which is why many artists decline this work or produce poor results.

How old does a scar need to be?

Fully healed and physician-cleared, minimum three months post-procedure, and frequently longer. A scar still changing color or texture on its own is not ready.

Will the scar disappear completely?

No, and anyone promising that is overselling. The goal is to substantially reduce how visible it is. How far that goes depends on the scar's age, depth, texture, and your skin.
