When Alejandra was 10 years old, a domestic accident caused a butane gas cylinder to explode, causing first-, second-, and third-degree burns all over her body. In this case, at her request, Gustavo Lesmes began covering one of the areas that worried her most: her right arm.

It's a keloid-shaped scar, and she specifically wanted the design tattooed. The challenge was to perfectly cover the skin defect with the details and internal shadows of the design.

It's worth mentioning that the design must be carefully analyzed before tattooing. Not all designs are suitable for covering a scar, although sometimes the designs our clients bring can be slightly modified to correctly and aesthetically adapt it to their anatomy.

It's important to conduct a prior study of the different options available for covering a scar, as it's our clients' last chance to achieve an optimal aesthetic result. Gustavo Lesmes is aware of the great responsibility he carries, as his clients' self-esteem greatly depends on the outcome of this procedure.

Gustavo Lesmes is currently a national and European leader in the solution of these problems, responsible for treating multiple and diverse scars caused by accidents, surgeries, self-harm, amputations, burns, etc., also providing advice and follow-up during the healing process. His procedures are 100% guaranteed until his clients achieve the desired result.
