Injury scars
Softening scars from injuries and accidents.
Learn more about the technique
Scars from accidents, dog bites, burns and stitches can sit in places that are hard to hide. We soften and blend them, choosing camouflage, restorative needling or both, depending on how your skin has healed.
Injury scars vary a lot. Some heal flat but a different colour, others are raised, indented or textured. We assess your scar closely and choose the right approach, from pigment camouflage for colour to restorative needling for texture.
We work on faces, hands, limbs and bodies, with detailed technique for smaller and more visible areas.
- Facial and lip scars
- Dog bite and laceration scars
- Burn and graft scars
- Stitch and suture marks

FAQ
Common questions
How old does my scar need to be?
Your scar needs to be fully healed and settled, which is often around 12 months after the injury. We’ll assess this at your consultation.
What if my scar is raised or indented?
Texture is usually treated first with Restorative Needling, then camouflage if colour still needs evening out.
Can you treat burn scars?
Often, yes, particularly flat, settled burn and graft scars. We assess each one carefully, as burned skin can respond differently.
How do I get started?
Every treatment begins with a complimentary consultation, in the studio or by video. We’ll assess your skin and give you a realistic plan, with no obligation. Book your consultation.
