Scar & Stretch Mark Treatments Sunshine Coast
Leading Paramedical Clinic with 10+ years experience
Your scar is unique. Its treatment should be too.
Scars and stretch marks can affect far more than the appearance of your skin. They may be reminders of surgery, injury, illness or a period of your life you would prefer not to explain.
At Signature Cosmetic & Beauty in Maroochydore, we offer specialised paramedical treatments to improve the appearance of suitable scars and stretch marks.
Depending on the colour, texture and maturity of the area, your personalised plan may include inkless scar revision, skin-tone camouflage tattooing or a combination of techniques.
You don’t need to know which treatment to book. Your first step is a private consultation.
What can we treat?
Following an assessment, treatment may be suitable for:
Surgical scars
Breast surgery scars
Injury and accident scars
Healed burn scars
Skin grafts
Self-harm scars
Gender-affirming surgery scars
Cancer-related surgery scars
Pale or hypopigmented scars
Radiotherapy markers
Stretch marks
Not every scar can or should be tattooed. We assess the area carefully before recommending treatment and will provide honest advice if another approach or medical referral would be more appropriate.
Which scar treatment do I need?
You don’t need to work this out yourself.
During your consultation, we assess the scar’s age, colour, texture, depth, location and healing history. We’ll also discuss what you would like to improve and what can realistically be achieved.
Your treatment plan may involve improving the texture first, blending the colour or using a staged combination of both approaches.
We offer 2 treatment techniques depending on the size and severity of the scar/stretchmarks:
1. Inkless revision
For suitable scars or stretch marks with visible texture
Inkless revision uses multiple specialised needling techniques with a professional serum rather than tattoo pigment.
The controlled treatment process is intended to support the skin’s natural renewal response and gradually improve the appearance of texture, firmness and unevenness.
This technique may be recommended when the texture of the scar or stretch mark needs to be addressed before colour camouflage is considered.
Best for: Suitable textured, uneven or indented scars and stretch marks.
2. Camouflage method:
For mature, flat scars that are lighter than the surrounding skin
Scar camouflage uses individually blended skin-tone pigments to reduce the visible colour contrast between a suitable scar and the surrounding skin.
The pigment is gradually implanted into the scar using specialised tattooing techniques. The goal is not to erase the scar, but to help it blend more naturally with the surrounding area.
A patch test is generally required before treatment so we can assess the colour match and how the scarred skin accepts the pigment.
Best for: Mature, stable, flat and lighter-coloured scars.

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?
Yes. Every scar is different, and the consultation allows us to determine whether treatment is suitable and which technique is most appropriate.
For camouflage tattooing, we may also complete or arrange a patch test before treating the full area.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments depends on the type, size, texture and severity of the area, as well as how your skin heals.
Some clients notice improvement after one treatment, while others require a gradual course of several sessions. We’ll provide a personalised recommendation during your consultation and adjust the plan according to your response.
When will I see results?
Early changes may become visible as the area heals, but the skin can continue to settle and change over the following weeks.
Camouflage pigment must heal completely before the final colour can be assessed. Results vary, and further treatments may be required.
Can you completely remove my scar?
No. These treatments cannot erase a scar or restore the skin to exactly how it looked before.
Our aim is to improve the appearance of suitable scars and help them look softer, smoother or better blended with the surrounding skin.
Can you camouflage a raised or dark scar?
Camouflage pigment is generally better suited to mature, flat scars that are lighter than the surrounding skin.
Raised, red, dark or actively changing scars may need another treatment or medical assessment. We’ll examine the area and explain the safest and most appropriate option.
