We are all familiar with tattoos and their ink, but have you ever come across an inkless tattoo? Instead of ink, an inkless tattoo uses a transparent serum to aid in skin rejuvenation on areas that have experienced trauma. This process helps make unwanted scars appear less noticeable.

1. What is inkless stretch mark revision?
Inkless stretch mark revision is a treatment that helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks using serums or skin-boosting ingredients without the use of tattoo ink. The process triggers natural healing and skin regeneration, improving skin texture and color.
2. How does inkless stretch mark revision work? The treatment involves a tattoo needling techniques to infuse serums directly into the stretch marks, promoting collagen production and improving skin elasticity. The skin's healing response helps reduce the visibility of the stretch marks.
3. Is inkless stretch mark revision permanent? While the results can be long-lasting, the permanence depends on factors like skin
type, lifestyle, and how the body responds to the treatment. Periodic touch-ups may be required for some individuals to maintain
results.
4. How many sessions are needed to see results?
Most clients see visible improvements after 2-3 sessions. However, the exact number of sessions required depends on the severity of the stretch marks and individual skin response.
5. Does inkless stretch mark revision hurt?
The treatment is generally well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort. Some people may experience slight tingling sensation during the procedure.
6. Who is a good candidate for inkless stretch mark revision?
People with light or faded stretch marks are ideal candidates. The treatment is effective for all skin types and tones, but those with darker skin may need additional care to prevent hyperpigmentation.
7. Can inkless stretch mark revision be done on fresh stretch marks?
As long as the stretch marks are at least 3 months old, we can start the treatment.
8. Are the results of inkless stretch mark revision instant?
No, the results are gradual. However, because we use the Nue Conceal serum, which is specifically formulated for faster healing, you will be able to heal in as little as two to six weeks.
9. Is there any downtime after the treatment?
The downtime is minimal. Some clients may experience redness, mild swelling, or skin sensitivity for a few days, but most can return to their regular activities right after treatment. However, it's important to avoid sunbathing for 30 days and excessive sweating or soaking the treated area in water for 7 days (such as pools or baths).

10. How long do the results last?
Results can last for years, especially if the client maintains healthy skin and avoids rapid weight fluctuations. Occasional touch-ups can help maintain the outcome.
11. What are the risks or side effects?
Side effects are typically minimal but can include redness, irritation, and minor swelling. In rare cases, there may be slight scarring or hyperpigmentation, especially for darker skin tones.
12. How does inkless stretch mark revision differ from traditional stretch mark camouflage? Inkless stretch mark revision uses serums or skin treatments without tattoo pigments, while stretch mark camouflage involves implanting ink to blend the marks with surrounding skin. Inkless revision focuses on skin healing rather than color matching.
13. Is inkless stretch mark revision safe for all skin types?
Yes, the treatment is generally safe for all skin types. However, people with very sensitive skin or certain medical conditions should consult a professional before undergoing the treatment.
14. How long does an inkless stretch mark revision session take?
Sessions typically last between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size and severity of the stretch marks being treated.
15. Can inkless stretch mark revision be combined with other treatments?
Yes, it can be combined with treatments like laser therapy or microneedling to enhance results, but it's essential to consult your technician about the best approach for your skin.
16. How much does inkless stretch mark revision cost?
The cost varies depending on the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions required, but it typically ranges from $650 to $800 per session.
17. Can inkless stretch mark revision be used on all parts of the body?
Yes, the treatment is safe for most areas of the body, including the stomach, thighs, arms, breasts, and hips.
18. When will I see the full results of the treatment?
Full results can take 2-6 months to become apparent as the skin regenerates and produces more collagen.
19. Is there any aftercare required?
Yes, it's important to follow aftercare instructions provided by your technician, such as avoiding sun exposure, moisturizing the treated area, and refraining from intense physical activities for a few days.
20. Can I undergo inkless stretch mark revision if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
It is generally advised to wait until after pregnancy and breastfeeding to undergo inkless stretch mark revision, as the skin is more sensitive during these times and results
may be less predictable.
