Scar Work

For optimal results with micropigmentation on scars, it is generally recommended that the scar be at least 6 to 12 months old before undergoing the procedure. Here are some reasons for this guideline:

  1. Maturity of the Scar:

    • Healing Time: Scars need sufficient time to heal and mature fully. During the first 6 to 12 months, a scar is still undergoing changes and may not have settled into its final appearance.

    • Stability: An older, mature scar is less likely to undergo further changes in color, size, and texture, making it a more stable base for micropigmentation.

  2. Minimized Risk of Complications:

    • Reduced Sensitivity: Newly formed scars can be more sensitive and prone to irritation or adverse reactions. Allowing more time for healing reduces these risks.

    • Lower Infection Risk: Mature scars are less likely to become infected compared to newer scars, which can be more vulnerable.

  3. Better Pigment Retention:

    • Improved Results: The pigments used in micropigmentation are more likely to be retained properly in fully healed and mature scar tissue, leading to better and longer-lasting results.
