The Client’s Concern
Four years after his tummy tuck, this client’s scar was still dark and red, including a noticeably dark area over his hip bone. Lasers, lightening creams and microneedling had not given him satisfying results. He arrived a little nervous, only because nothing else had worked. Scar camouflage was his final option.
Our Approach: Scar Neutralization
We neutralized the dark and red pigment so it blended better with his natural skin tone. Because the scar was extensive, we recommended four sessions.

Progress After Two Healed Sessions
The dark area over his hip bone lightened noticeably after just two sessions, and he is thrilled with his progress. One session remains.
