Scar/ Stretch-mark Camouflage
With Scar Camouflage and Inkless Scar Revision, stretch marks and scars can be concealed. A tattoo machine and hyaluronic acid are used to gently scratch the scar surface in order to promote collagen and elastin during the healing process. As a result, scars and stretch marks will appear smoother and less indented once they are healed.
The process normally begins with inkless using hyaluronic acid, then we move onto pigment matching the surrounding area’s color to camouflage. A consultation is required to determine a treatment plan that meets your needs.

FAQ
Does the Stretch Mark Treatment hurt?
Most people report 0 to very light discomfort. We provide numbing if needed.
What happens if you get tanning after this treatment?
If you tan, your skin’s overtone will darken, but your stretch marks will remain the same color as your natural skin-toned ink tattoo. Overall, your stretch marks will still be camouflaged because the “white” is no longer there.
How many sessions do I need to see the final result?
It depends on your skin’s natural ability to produce collagen and elastin, most people need an average of 2-5 sessions.
How long does skin camouflage last?
We custom blend a pigment which matches your skin tone identically, we use a range of needles to implant this pigment into the skin creating a ‘permanent’ camouflage. Results last around 2 1/2 years before you will need a refresh.
Can white scars be tattooed?
Skin or Scar Camouflage is a Paramedical Tattooing procedure which offers a way to help disguise flat white scars. It involves implanting skin toned pigments into the scar tissue that is lacking in color. The scar camouflage tattoo blends with the healthy skin around it resulting in less attention to the scar.
