  • Our Inkless Technique is similar to a camouflage tattoo except, instead of skin tone pigments on the skin, we use serums formulated for stretch mark repair to help reduce and remove their appearance.

    This is a more natural approach than using ink. Unlike other treatments such as lotions, scrubs, lasers and more, our Inkless Technique stimulates the skin to reproduce collagen and elastin, making it a unique treatment that not only helps reduce stretch marks but also provides some skin tightening.

  • To naturally treat scars, we use a SCAR LIGHTENING treatment. It’s completely different serums/technique. However, it cannot treat keloids. If you tend to develop hyperpigmentation, you should check with your practitioner before getting the treatment done.

  • Yes! You can suntan once the area is fully healed. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen for best long term results. Keep in mind, it is not advised to suntan during the healing process.

  • After the procedure, you may experience some mild redness and swelling, which can last up to one week. During the first 30 days, the treated area will slightly get darker. Do not panic! It is healing. Once this has subsided, you will begin to see the result of your treatment.

  • Because we are treating your skin, the results are permanent as long as you do not gain or lose weight rapidly. (what causes them in the first place)
