WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER SCAR CAMOUFLAGE

DAYS 1–2:

• The pigmented area will appear darker and more saturated than the final result – this is normal.

• You may experience slight redness and swelling around the treated area.

• The area may feel tender or sensitive to touch.

• Some pinpoint lymph discharge may occur in the first 24 hours.

DAYS 3–7:

• The pigment will begin to oxidize and may appear even darker temporarily.

Light flaking or peeling may start as the skin begins to heal.

Scabbing should be minimal but may occur in some areas.

Important: Do not pick, scratch, or remove any flaking skin
or scabs.

DAYS 8–14:

Flaking and peeling will continue as the outer layer of skin sheds.

• The pigment will appear significantly lighter during this phase -this is normal.

• The treated area may look patchy or uneven as it heals.

WEEKS 4–6:

• The pigment will settle into the skin and begin to show its true color.

• The treated area will continue to blend with surrounding skin.

• Some pigment loss is normal during healing (approximately 20–40%).

LONG-TERM HEALING:

• Final results will be visible 6–8 weeks after the procedure.

• The healed color will be softer and more natural than immediately post-procedure.

• Multiple sessions spaced 8 weeks apart are usually required for optimal coverage and color blending.

Touch-ups may be needed as skin tone changes with sun exposure or aging.

AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST 24 HOURS:

• Keep the treated area clean and dry.

• Gently cleanse the area with mild, fragrance-free soap and lukewarm water. Pat dry with a clean paper towel.

• Apply a thin layer of aftercare ointment 2–3 times on the first day.

Avoid getting the area wet for prolonged periods – brief showers are acceptable.

DAYS 2–14:

• Cleanse the area gently twice daily (morning and evening) with mild soap and lukewarm water. Pat dry completely.

• Apply a thin layer of aftercare ointment 2–3 times daily or
whenever the area feels dry.

Do not over-moisturize – too much ointment can draw out
pigment.

Do not pick, scratch, or peel any flaking skin or scabs.

• Avoid rubbing or friction on the treated area.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS (UNTIL FULLY HEALED):

• Avoid direct sun exposure to the treated area for at least 4 weeks. Once healed, always apply SPF 30+ to prevent fading and discoloration.

Do not use tanning beds or apply self-tanners to the area
for at least 6 weeks.

• Avoid swimming pools, hot tubs, saunas, and steam rooms for at least
2 weeks.

Do not apply makeup to the treated area until fully healed (approximately 14 days).

• Avoid facials, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser treatments near the area for at least 6 weeks.

Do not shave, wax, or use hair removal products on the treated area
until fully healed.

LONG-TERM CARE:

Always apply sunscreen (SPF 30+) to the treated area when exposed to sun. UV exposure will cause the pigment to fade and change color
over time.

Maintain proper skin hydration to keep the pigment looking fresh.

Avoid harsh exfoliants or anti-aging treatments directly on the camouflaged area, as these can accelerate fading.

TREATMENT SESSIONS

• Scar camouflage is a multi-session process requiring patience and realistic expectations.

• Sessions are spaced 8 weeks apart to achieve optimal color matching and coverage.

• Results can last 3–5 years or longer with proper care and sun protection.

• Proper aftercare significantly improves final results.
