FAQs

Does stretch mark camouflage really work? ›

Just a reminder that the stretch mark camouflage will not “remove” your stretch marks, but it will help conceal them so that they're less noticeable.

Generally, stretch mark camouflage tattoo and stretch mark serum treatments will take around 2 to 4 weeks to heal completely. You will have 2-3 sessions and the look will improve more each time. The healing time can vary from person to person, so we set 6 weeks in between appointments.

On Average, Prices go from as little as $250 for the smaller area (scar) and $1500 per section for more extensive areas. The number of sessions depends on scar tissue, and you may need to relax the scar with dry needling/Inkless sessions before we go into Camouflage.

In addition to lasers, Kim has also utilized radiofrequency (RF) treatments. Allure reports that RF treatments use energy to heat the skin's deeper layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This process tightens the skin and reduces the appearance of stretch marks by improving skin elasticity and texture.

Risks. The risk associated with Stretch Mark Camouflage Tattoo is skin irritation. However, this can be avoided with a skin patch test on the first appointment. Other than that, since a camouflage tattoo is a non-invasive treatment, the risk is quite minimal.

Typically, multiple sessions are required to achieve desired results. I always recommend at least two sessions and sometime 4 sessions, 6-10 weeks apart and then once the skin has healed, we can then assess how the ink is settling and healing in the scar and decide if any further treatments are needed.

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.

You can totally tattoo over stretch marks. It's very similar to tattooing over a scar. The skin's texture is different around a stretch mark. It will usually be raised a little higher than the rest of your skin or recessed a little lower.

The Stretch Mark Camouflage Tattoo is a transformative procedure that offers a solution to those seeking to minimize the appearance of stretch marks. This innovative technique effectively conceals and diminishes the visibility of stretch marks, making them less perceptible to the naked eye.

How long does skin camouflage last? ›

These changes can make the skin-colored ink look less natural and more noticeable. If you are wondering how long scar camouflage tattooing lasts, you may need to have the tattoo reapplied every 1 1/2 to 2 years by a professional. It is more challenging to match the skin tone of someone with dark skin.

Can Scar Camouflage Tattoo Be Removed or Altered? Yes. Scar camouflage can be removed with saline tattoo removal.

In two large studies, applying hyaluronic acid to early stretch marks made the stretch marks less noticeable. Tretinoin is a retinoid, which may also make early stretch marks less noticeable. In one study, people who applied this prescription cream every night for 24 weeks had less noticeable stretch marks.

Stretch marks usually fade over time but may not disappear completely. Many creams and lotions claim to prevent, reduce or remove stretch marks. But there's very little evidence these work.

Yes, tattoos can cover up stretch marks.

The ink from the tattoo can fill in the depressed areas of the skin caused by stretch marks, creating the appearance of a smoother, more even surface.

Body makeup and self-tanner: These products can help hide stretch marks. Note that tanning won't get rid of stretch marks. It actually makes them easier to see. Tretinoin: Creams with tretinoin (Retin-A) contain retinoid, a compound related to Vitamin A.
