How long does scar camouflage last? years, not forever-freeze

Scar camouflage can last years with care — but pigment fades, skin changes and sun wins eventually. “Permanent makeup” still needs maintenance.

What “last” usually means

Many clients see useful colour for years before a refresh. Scar tissue holds pigment unevenly — see how long does camouflage tattoo last.

What shortens wear

UV, friction, swimming chlorine, body chemistry. Daily SPF on treated areas helps.
