Inkless Stretch Mark Removal
Inkless stretch mark removal is also known as inkless stretch mark camouflage or inkless stretch mark revision (ISR). It is a non-invasive skin treatment that helps the skin repair itself using a blend of serums and vitamins rubbed on the skin after using tiny needles to prick the area. Imagine a gentle tattoo procedure, dry, without the ink.
The products introduced on top of the area encourage collagen production along with elastin and melanocytes. The skin becomes smoother and firmer with a return of the natural skin tone. The treatment is focused on targeted areas and will closely follow the stretch mark line.
So, what exactly is ISR, and why should try it?
Inkless stretch mark camouflage is much like microneedling in that the process causes skin “trauma” which the body rushes to rectify.
“Microneedling" targets the dermis, the middle layer of your skin where stretch marks form. Within this procedure, tiny needles are poked into your skin to trigger collagen production. Increased collagen and elastin promote skin regeneration that can improve your skin's appearance and reduce stretch marks.
To effectively treat stretch marks, you’ll need to participate in more than one treatment over a course of months. Microneedling has been an effective treatment for reducing stretch marks, specifically for patients with darker skin.
Inkless camouflage takes this procedure to the next level by introducing collagen and elastin onto the affected areas for greater effect.
If you have been searching for treatment that will reduce stretch marks and scars, you would have come across inkless stretch mark revision several times? This ISR treatment has become one of the most popular choices for people looking to treat their scar lines and stretch marks.
Why Collagen?
Brazilian stretch mark camouflage is a revolutionary scar treatment whereby a unique formulation of tattoo ink is matched to your skin pigmentation. Through a specialized tattooing technique, the ink is perfectly blended with your natural skin tone, thereby reducing the appearance of scars or stretch marks anywhere on the body. While the scar or stretch mark will not necessarily disappear, the flesh tone pigmentation will adequately disguise the area.
Why Elastin?
Elastin is an extracellular matrix protein that lends elasticity and resilience to tissues such as the arteries, lungs, tendons, skin, and ligaments.
Basically, elastin is a protein found in the skin that is more “stretchy” but not as strong as collagen. These two proteins together make for smooth, firm skin.
Can Inkless Stretch Mark Camouflage Be Used All Over the Body?
Inkless camouflage can be safely used everywhere except for the face.
What’s the Difference Between Inkless Stretch Mark Removal and Brazilian Stretch Mark Camouflage?
Brazilian stretch mark camouflage is a revolutionary scar treatment whereby a unique formulation of tattoo ink is matched to your skin pigmentation. Through a specialized tattooing technique, the ink is perfectly blended with your natural skin tone, thereby reducing the appearance of scars or stretch marks anywhere on the body. While the scar or stretch mark will not necessarily disappear, the flesh tone pigmentation will adequately disguise the area.
This procedure differs from inkless stretch mark removal in that it disguises the scars, rendering them all but invisible. Whereas inkless stretch mark removal gives the skin a potent mix of what it needs the most to heal itself and bring back the client’s natural skin pigment.
Is Inkless Stretch Mark Removal Safe?
It’s always wise to be cautious of emerging technology. After all, nobody wants to be a test subject. However, rest assured that inkless stretch mark removal is entirely safe. In fact, it is considered one of the safest procedures available right now for stretch marks.
Will it Remove My Stretch Marks Completely?
The result of your inkless stretch mark removal treatment will depend on your skin type, the stretch marks themselves, and your overall health. Typically, clients have seen a 20–50% reduction in the appearance of stretch marks, with around half of these people requiring more than one treatment.
How Long Does Inkless Stretch Mark Removal Take?
The length of treatment will depend mainly on the area you would like covered. The larger the area, the more time you will need on the table. It’s always a good idea to chat with your proffered provider to get the finer details of what to expect, costs, and downtime.
Who's A Candidate For This Procedure And Are My Results Immediate?
This process is great because instead of artificial pigments, high-quality and skin-friendly healing serum and vitamins are rubbed onto the stretch marks after microscopic pricks have been made. This makes the process suitable for EVERYONE above 18 years of age.
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.
