Self-harm scar camouflage for Toronto: private, gentle, at your pace
If you live in Toronto and you are looking for a way to make healed self-harm scars less noticeable, SKINEAV is just north of the city line, in Vaughan. Appointments are one-on-one and private. If you are in crisis right now, please call or text 9-8-8 any time.
A private first step
You can start with a free phone call and share only what you are comfortable with. You do not need to explain your scars. Some people prefer to send photos first through the free assessment page, so the first conversation is about skin, not stories. There is no pressure to book.
Who camouflage can help
Camouflage is for scars that are fully healed and mature, usually pale and flat. It is not suitable over fresh, healing or reopened skin, and it is important that the area is not being actively harmed. If you are still struggling, support from a doctor, counsellor or 9-8-8 comes first; cosmetic work can always wait. Raised scars, or scars darker than your skin, are often a poorer fit.
Real results and real moments
What it can and can’t do
Self-harm scar camouflage places custom skin-tone pigment into pale scar lines so they blend toward the skin around them. It does not erase scars or change texture: raised or indented lines may still show in some light. Many people need more than one session. Results vary. Clothing, makeup and simply leaving scars as they are remain completely valid choices.
Getting here from Toronto
SKINEAV is in Concord, Vaughan, in a quiet business court off Keele Street just north of Steeles Avenue (36 Bessemer Ct, Unit 1), with free parking on site. From much of north Toronto it is a short drive to Steeles and Keele. By transit, Line 1 runs to Vaughan Metropolitan Centre and buses run along Steeles and Keele; check a trip planner. The clinic is a calm, private space and one client is seen at a time. See Toronto and the GTA.
