Scar Camouflage Tattoo

Scar Camouflage Tattooing, or Corrective Pigment Camouflage (CPC), is a non-invasive treatment to conceal scars and skin imperfections. Blend scars with your skin tone for a seamless, lasting effect, perfect for covering scars on the face, hands, abdomen, or any body area.

How it works:
Using precise micropigmentation, pigment is implanted into scar tissue to mimic the surrounding skin tone, creating a virtually invisible camouflage. This safe and effective method improves scars with uneven color or tone.

Prices Vary Depending On Size

Scar 2-4 inches: $350
Scar 4-8 inches: $650
Scar 8-14 inches: $850

Camouflage Patch Test: $80

Inkless Stretchmark Revision

stretchmark revision

Inkless Stretchmark Revision is a treatment that revitalizes the skin by targeting stretchmarks through advanced microneedling techniques. This technique enhances collagen and elastin production, promoting natural skin renewal without pigments for a smoother, more natural look.

How it works:
Using fine needles and a customized serum blend we target each stretchmark individually, stimulating healing, softening texture, and reducing the visibility of red, purple, or white stretchmarks.

Prices Vary Depending On Size

Small area: $250
Large area: $300
XL area: $350

Camouflage Patch Test: $80

Scar Resurfacing

trigger point massage

Scar Resurfacing improves scar texture by flattening raised areas and filling indented regions. It’s an ideal preparatory step for Scar Camouflage, enhancing pigment retention and creating a smoother, more uniform skin surface for optimal results. 

 

How it works:
The procedure uses fine needles to gently puncture scar tissue, stimulating collagen and elastin production to repair and soften scars, making them less prominent.

Prices Vary Depending On Size

Scar 2-4 inches: $350
Scar 4-8 inches: $650
Scar 8-14 inches: $850

I loved the cervisium at the post-op clinic in Houston

I’ve been to other post-op centers, and while I won’t name names, it’s clear they don’t truly know what they’re doing. Some even try to imitate Carolina Pintos Therapy, but there’s simply no comparison. This is hands down the best place in Houston for post-op care, lymphatic massage, and general therapy for anyone dealing with immune complications. Thank you for being so amazing! 🙂

I had three separate surgical procedures done in late November (2024) one week off of a cycling accident that landed all of my body via my rib cage on a steel railing. I was a hot mess of need: post-op lymphatic drainage, scar tissue work, and tender loving care. With, I think, 15 or 16 sessions behind me so far, I've got enough interactive experience to say that Carolina Pintos Therapy has delivered far above my expectations. Patty, Patricia, and Jaquline have been a DREAM TEAM of expertise, guidance, and personality. I have hung on their every word of advice and tried to follow-through on everything they've suggested or instructed between sessions, including their insistence that I ditch the getting-too-big, soul-sucking faja I got from the surgeon and level up to the Forma Tu Cuerpo line. Do you know how well-designed a faja has to be to make a woman actually feel sexy in it despite her 152 stitches and dog-eared stomach?! Given how well my healing has gone, confetti and cheering, please, for these three amazing women who have paid fierce attention to me, advised me well, and boosted my confidence. I am literally in the best of hands.

I went to Carolina Pintos Therapy after being recommended by my PS for post operative lymphatic messages. I had several sessions with a total of 4 different therapist which were Claudia, Verlene, Jacqauline and Netta which all did an amazing job but after my session with Netta, she was always my first choice. She’s great at what she does and she knows her stuff and not to mention how strong and firm her hands are. She always answered all my questions and I learned something new every time I saw her along with her always giving me tips. I could notice the swelling go down immediately after every session with her. Hands down she’s the best which explains why I always had to book in advance for her since she was always booked.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the downtime after these treatments?

A: There is minimal to no downtime for these services. You may experience slight redness or tenderness, which typically resolves within a day or two.

Q: Are the results permanent?

A: Scar Camouflage results can last several years, depending on your skin type, sun exposure, and aftercare. Inkless Stretchmark Revision and Scar Resurfacing results improve gradually as collagen production continues and are long-lasting with proper skin care.

Q: Do the treatments hurt?

A: Most clients report mild discomfort during the procedure, which is often compared to a light scratching sensation. We use numbing creams to ensure maximum comfort.

Q: What are some requirements and recommendations before my treatment?

A: Before your treatment you must:

  • Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of direct sunlight or tanning beds for at least 2 weeks before treatment.
  • Discontinue Exfoliants: Stop using retinoids, acids, or exfoliants on the area 7–10 days prior.
  • Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, and certain supplements 72 hours before treatment.
  • Scars Must Be Healed: Only mature scars (over 12 months old) are eligible for treatment.
  • Clean Skin: Ensure the area is clean and free of lotions, makeup, or oils on the day of your appointment.
Q: What are some requirements and recommendations after my treatment?

A: After your treatment you must:

  • Keep It Clean: Gently wash with mild soap and water. Avoid touching or scratching the treated area.
  • Apply Ointment: Use a thin layer of a recommended unscented ointment to keep the area moisturized.
  • Avoid Submersion: No swimming, saunas, or baths for 7–10 days. Showers are fine.
  • Sun Protection: Apply SPF 30+ after healing to protect against pigment fading. Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds for 4 weeks.
  • Expect Healing Changes: Scabbing, flaking, and pigment lightening are normal. Do not pick at the area.
Q: Can I get these treatments while pregnant or breastfeeding?

A: No. We recommend waiting until after pregnancy or breastfeeding to ensure safety and optimal results.

Q: How many sessions will I need?

A: Most clients see significant results after one session, but some scars or stretchmarks may require additional treatments for the best outcome.

Q: Is there a risk of hyperpigmentation or scarring?

A: When performed by a trained professional, these treatments are safe with minimal risks. However, clients prone to keloids or excessive scarring are not ideal candidates.
