Inkless Stretch Mark Revision Faqs

What is inkless stretch mark revision?

Inkless stretch mark removal is also known as inkless stretch mark revision or ISR, dry tattooing, medical needling, etc. It is a process through which your skin will repair itself using vitamins and serums. The tattoo artist will use a tattoo machine with smaller needles for this procedure.

What type of scars and stretch marks can be camouflaged?

The most common areas treated are acne scars, stretch marks, lipo/BBL/facelift/breast augmentation scars, burn scars, and injury/surgery scars. Is it painful? It all depends on your pain tolerance but most of my clients say it doesn't hurt at all. No numbing cream is used during the procedure so it's pretty safe to say it's painless.

Is there any downtime?

This is a non-invasive procedure similar to a tattoo. Therefore, there is little to no downtime and most people can resume daily living on the same day or the next day. Aftercare is extremely important so we recommend that you take the day off to relax and avoid touching the area for the best results.

How long does this treatment take?

On average, a session is 1-3 hours depending on the area. What to expect before and after treatment Immediately after your treatment, the area will be red and a little swollen – a typical result after such a procedure. After a week or two, the area will settle as it begins to heal. How soon you'll see results will depend on how your body responds to the treatment, but you should see results in around 40 to 60 days.
