Camouflage and Inkless stretchmark revision are both types of body modifications that involve changes to the appearance of one's skin. However, there are many key differences between the two procedures. In the context of addressing skin imperfections like stretch marks and scars, both "inkless revision" and "camouflage" refer to techniques aimed at improving or camouflaging the appearance of these concerns. However, there are many key differences between the two procedures and offer unique results:

A) Inkless Stretchmark/Scar Revisioning (ISR or Inkless Stretch Mark/Scar Revision):

This technique focuses on stimulating the skin's natural healing process without the use of pigments. A medical grade serum and a tattoo machine with specific needles helps break down the skin tissue or scar. This induced injury to the skin stimulates collagen production, aiming to reduce the appearance of the stretchmarks or scars without pigments. 1 to 4 sessions are recommended dependent upon desired results, and the healing time is between 4-6 weeks. The longevity of the results varies depending on many factors, such as a person’s immune system, metabolism, sun exposure, and products used on the skin. Average results last 3-7 years prior to needing touch-up. The ISR treatment provides permanent results, as we are repairing your natural skin texture and pigment.

B) Camouflage:

Camouflaging involves using pigments to match the skin tone and cover up the appearance of stretchmarks, scars, vitiligo patches, and other skin discolorations effectively blending them into the surrounding skin. Camouflaging may require 1 follow up session for optimal results

Typically, you can see results between 4-6 weeks after the procedure. However, everyone heals differently, and depending on the severity of your stretchmarks, sometimes you will need 2-3 sessions to get your desired results. If you suffer from hyperpigmentation, you are looking at longer healing times, up to 90 days. Taking care of the treated area with the correct aftercare products will help to produce better results.

Nue Conceal is semi-permanent, which could last anywhere between 3 to 7 years depending on the person's skin rejuvenation, immune system, metabolism, sun exposure, and products used on the skin. As the human skin color changes over time. As we age, our body produces less melanin, the protein responsible for human color. This causes our skin to get lighter as we age. Hence, making the treatment less permanent will minimize the risk of uneven color and discoloration. However, Average results last 3-7 years prior to needing touch-up.

There is no downtime, but you will experience redness and swelling immediately after the procedure for the first five days. However, after the procedure you may return to work or other activities. Over the next 8 – 12 weeks, the redness will subside, and the treated areas will go through various shades (from dark to light) until your skin heals. This is a process, so please be patient and trust the process. Remember to follow all aftercare instructions we provided carefully.

It can take anywhere from 1-4 hours depending on the size and area being treated. If more than one area is being treated at the same time visit this will extend the treatment time.

Pain tolerance varies with each client. Needles are penetrating the skin, so you feel some skin scratching and discomfort, However, it is minimal. Topical anesthetic can be applied if needed.

We recommend two sessions to start, and we can always increase up to 5 sessions if needed to achieve desired results; however, most clients are happy with their results after just two sessions.

When it comes to exposing stretch marks and scars to the sun, tanning without camouflage can be detrimental for their visibility. The ultraviolet rays of the sun will not cause the tones of those areas to change, resulting in them becoming more noticeable. Therefore, when we camouflage them, the base color of these spots is blended into the same hue as healthy skin. This way, even if they don't tan during exposure to sunlight, they will appear less visible than if nothing had been done. When the person loses his/her tan, these camouflaged areas will remain unchanged since they were never affected by rays of sunlight in the first place, thus providing a consistent combination with their surroundings. Given that many people choose to include tanning in their beauty routine, it is important to consider that not all skin types react the same way under UV rays. To reduce visibility of stretch marks and scars while enjoying a golden complexion at the same time, camouflage can be an excellent option as they provide a natural-looking solution that complements your look. Not only do they ensure even skin tone throughout your body but also provide additional protection against further damage caused by sun exposure.

Paramedical tattoo procedures has well been documented among breast cancer survivors to be safe and effective to treat many different cases also including alopecia, and various types of scars. However, its crucial for cancer patients to consult with their primary care to ensure it’s appropriate for their specific situation and stage of recovery.

Some of advantages of inkless stretch mark removal are:

• It works well on all types of stretch marks and scars

• You can experience up to 50-100% of improvement just after your first session

• There is little to no pain involved in the entire procedure.

• It is completely safe and budget-friendly compared to laser treatments

• There is little to no pain involved in the entire procedure

• It improves your body’s immune and healing response

• By stimulating the production of collagen, elastin, and fibroblast, ISR makes your skin look rejuvenated and youthful.

Please let us know in advance if you do, we can recommend a pre care step that will suppress melanin activity on your skin prior to your appointment, as well as the proper aftercare to prevent it.

Generally, yes! However, there are a small number of people who the treatment would not be suitable for. For ISR treatment your stretch marks need to be 3 months old, scars- 6 months old, and 1 year old for stretch marks/ scar camouflage. Booking a consultation can help determine if you’re a candidate for this procedure and is required for all clients.

We prefer to match only your natural skin tone and require that our clients postpone their session until their tan has faded. This ensures that we can color match you accurately.

The Stretch Mark Camouflage Tattoo is a penetrative skin procedure so a small amount of discomfort will be experienced. Usually on a scale 1-10 (10 being most painful), the average consensus is a 6 or 7. We do not numb our clients to avoid any interference to the purity and insertion of pigment into the scar. However, we can numb if needed on a case by case basis. In addition, your pain receptors will be heightened if you’re on your monthly cycle, and so we suggest you book your session/touch-ups accordingly.

While Laser Treatments do work on stretch marks by damaging the skin’s outer layer and forcing it to heal itself, they do not put color back into the skin. So almost all clients who get laser treatments for their stretch marks still have noticeable stretch marks. In fact, many of our clients have had many laser treatments prior to visiting us. Another huge difference is the cost of laser treatments, laser treatments could run $1,000 to $3,000 per session, and can easily end up costing the client over $10,000 overall.

Our medical grade serum is made with higher potency and concentration of active ingredients. They are designed to penetrate and affect the deeper layer of the skin while over counter mixed serums are formulated to only be applied on the surface of the skin. The inkless stretch mark/scar revision requires some opening of the skin created by the needles of the tattoo machine. This makes the medical grade serum penetrate the deeper layer of the skin. Using over the counter serums can lead to irritation, infection, and prolonged hyperpigmentation. Our medical grade serum only gives us better results, but it also reduces the healing period of the treated area. The healing period is 1-3 months with our medical grade formulation. Some healed results were reported as early as 1 week, and the longest reported healing was 6 weeks.
