Q: What is a Scar?
A: Scars are areas of fibrous tissue that replace normal skin after injury, forming as a natural part of the healing process. Whenever the skin is damaged—whether from an accident, disease, or surgery—the body repairs it by creating new collagen fibers, resulting in a scar. While minor injuries may not leave a scar, most wounds do. Scars can vary in appearance, with some being flat and pale, while others, like hypertrophic or keloid scars, may be raised and more prominent, especially in younger or dark-skinned individuals.

​

Q: How Do Scars Form?
A: Scars form when the dermis, the deeper layer of the skin, is damaged. As the body heals, it produces new collagen fibers to mend the injury, leading to the formation of scar tissue. This new tissue has a different texture and appearance compared to the surrounding skin. The extent of scarring depends on several factors, including the severity of the wound and the body’s healing response. Raised scars, such as hypertrophic or keloid scars, occur when the body produces excess collagen.

​

Q: How Can Scars Be Treated?
A: While scars cannot be completely removed, their appearance can be significantly improved through various treatments, including:

• Scar Camouflage

• Inkless Scar Revision

• Topical treatments

• Surgery

• Steroid injections

• Radiotherapy

• Dermabrasion

• Laser resurfacing

• Filler injections

Q: What Types of Scars Can AAC Elite Ink Studio Treat?
A: AAC Elite Ink Studio specializes in treating stretch marks, burns, and surgical scars.

​

Q: What’s the Difference Between Scar Camouflage & Inkless Scar Revision?
A: Scar Camouflage involves using skin-colored tattoo pigment to blend the scar with the surrounding skin. Inkless Scar Revision, on the other hand, uses similar tattoo tools but with a customized serum instead of pigment. This serum helps naturally pigment or lighten the scar to better match the surrounding area.

​

Q: Which Scar Procedure Should I Get?
A: The choice between Scar Camouflage and Inkless Scar Revision depends on several factors. If your scar is flat and lighter than your natural skin tone, Scar Camouflage may be ideal. If your scar is darker, slightly raised, or if you tend to develop darker scars (hyperpigmentation), Inkless Scar Revision might be more suitable. During your consultation, we will discuss the best treatment option for your specific needs.

​

Q: How Much Does the Treatment Cost?
A: The cost for Scar Camouflage or Inkless Scar Revision depends on the size, type, and other factors related to the scar. An accurate price will be provided during your consultation. Generally, prices range between $200-$500 per session, with most clients requiring 3-4 sessions for optimal results.

​

Q: How Long Does Each Procedure Last?
A: The longevity of the results varies depending on the type of scar, your skin type, home care, and your body’s natural immune response. Most clients can expect to maintain their results for 3-5 years.
