Hand and finger scars: honest expectations
Hands are seen constantly, which is why people ask. They are also one of the most demanding areas for pigment to last.
Cuts, carpal tunnel surgery, burns and injuries all leave scars on the hands and wrists.
Why hands are challenging
- Constant washing and sanitiser
- Year-round sun exposure
- Skin that bends and creases over knuckles and joints
All of this can make pigment soften faster than on the body.
“We don’t fix texture, we fix color.”

Healing
Hands are hard to rest. Plan the session before a few quieter days, wear gloves for dirty work afterwards, and keep the area clean and out of the sun.
Touch-ups
Because hands work hard, a touch-up is more likely to be needed sooner than on covered areas. We discuss this before you start.
Frequently asked questions
Do hand scar camouflage results last?
Hands are washed often and sun-exposed, so pigment can soften faster. Touch-ups may be needed sooner.
Can carpal tunnel scars be camouflaged?
Flat, pale, mature wrist scars are often reasonable candidates, assessed individually.
