We offer 2 treatment techniques depending on the size and severity of the scar/stretchmarks:
Camouflage method:
This method utilises a colour matching device, which precisely matches skin toned pigment to your natural skin colour. This skin toned pigment is then implanted into your skin of the targeted area using needling techniques to blend your scar or stretchmarks into the surrounding skin colour. This technique works well on scars that are flat, non-textured and white/light in colour.
Inkless revision method:
This method utilises a medical grade serum containing no pigment which is implanted into the skin using specialised needling techniques to help soften scars and stretchmarks. This helps the body to break down bad quality scar tissue which results in lumpy, textured scars and reform new collagen to improve the overall texture and size of the scar and smooth the skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Browse our FAQs for solutions to common queries. If your question is unique, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our experts.
Do I need a consultation?
For this treatment, Yes. This helps us assess and recommend the best treatment plan for you to get your the best results.
As every client is different each treatment needs to be planned according to the needs of each client.
For any camouflage treatments we usually recommend a patch test first to colour match. Sometimes this can be completed at your consultation if we have the time, otherwise we may need to book you for a separate patch test appointment.
How long do treatments take?
Depending on your treatment and the size of the area being treated it can range anywhere between 30mins- 2 hours.
When will I see results?
Some results can usually be seen within the first 2 weeks, however the treated areas will continue to improve for 2-3 months. We always take photos of your skin before, throughout and after your treatments so that we can assess your skin improvements throughout the process. When looking at your skin everyday sometimes you don’t always notice the improvements as they happen gradually so seeing before and after photos are the best way to see the true difference.
Results depend on your treatment, the number of treatments you require, your lifestyle and how you personally heal.
How many treatments will I need?
This will be different for every client depending on what is being treated, the severity and expectation of results.
A lot of our clients can start to see improvements from just one treatment alone, for most clients this is a step by step process with treatment requirements often changing along the course of your treatment plan. For most clients 2-3 treatments are recommended, but in severe cases up to 6 treatments may be needed. Subsequent treatments are carried out in 6 week intervals.
Is there any downtime?
After these types of treatments it is normal to be red in the area for a few days. Depending on the health of the skin sometimes minor bruising and swelling can occur. During the healing process, your skin in the area may become dry and flakey. This process is usually completed within 7-10days.
