FAQS

What is scar/stretch mark camouflage?

Scar/stretch mark camouflage involves using specialized pigments and a tattoo machine to conceal the appearance of flat, white scars and stretch marks. This process entails meticulously matching the pigment color to the surrounding skin tone and strategically tattooing over the scar or stretch mark area to blend it with the surrounding skin, creating a more uniform and less noticeable appearance.

What is the inkless scar/stretch mark revision?

Inkless scar/stretch mark revision is a minimally invasive procedure involving the use of a tattoo machine to reduce or eliminate the appearance of scars and stretch marks. Instead of using ink to cover them up, a medical grade serum from NUE Conceal is used; NUE SS for scars and NUE SR for stretch marks.

Through this combination of needling and serums the skin is encouraged to heal from within, regenerating collagen, elasticity, and pigmentation.

How long does a treatment take?

The treatment time is dependent upon the size and how many areas are being treated. (Between 1-5 hours)

During the consultation this will be determined as it is unique to each client.

How quickly will I see results from my treatment?

The healing time can vary depending on a number of factors such as age, skin type, sun exposure, diet, etc.

On average, results can be seen 4-6 weeks after a treatment, but can take up to 90 days if your skin is prone to hyperpigmentation.

Also, depending on the severity of the scar or stretch marks 2-3 sessions may be needed to get your desired results.
