Scar Camouflage in Henderson / Las Vegas

2–3 on average, more for complex scars. The next session follows once the area has healed completely, roughly 6–8 weeks later.

7–14 days of visible healing, with the final assessment at 6–8 weeks. At about a month the skin looks calmer and the initial redness and darkness have passed, but the pigment is still settling.

Different from ordinary skin, and not predictably so: scar tissue can be almost without sensation or, conversely, more sensitive than the skin around it. Vibration, pressure, tingling or scratching are all possible.

It is not an automatic first step. Where the scar or the skin makes it sensible, a small test area is worked on first: it settles whether your skin needs a serum stage or can take pigment straight away, and the healed result is judged together before a larger area is booked. For a mature, stable scar the work can often start without one. A test area is $99, and whether it makes sense in your case is decided together at the consultation.

Yes. Chest scars after top surgery are treated on the same terms as any other surgical scar: mature, fully healed, stable and lighter than the surrounding skin. The patch test comes first here too.

Sometimes, yes. Where the texture stands out, a pass without pigment is done first to soften the scar, and colour is only matched afterwards. Whether your scar needs that step is decided when it is assessed.

The colour difference between the scar and the surrounding skin is considerably smaller and the area draws the eye far less. What camouflage does not do is remove the scar or change its texture — it works on the difference in colour. Pigment fades over time and can be renewed, usually after about 2–5 years.

Scar camouflage ranges from $299 to $1,189, depending on the size and number of areas treated. Each session runs 2–5 hours, and most clients need multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart. Your exact quote is confirmed at consultation.
