FAQ

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • 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.  Full results can take 2-6 months to become apparent as the skin regenerates and produces more collagen.

  • 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.

  • After undergoing treatment with Nue Clear (ISR) or the Nue Conceal procedure, the healing process can be quite lengthy as it involves damaged skin. Typically, it takes one to three months for scar tissue to fully heal, though this can vary depending on factors such as age, lifestyle habits, and the location and severity of the treated area. Immediately after the treatment, the treated area may become swollen and red. This should subside within 24 to 48 hours, but some redness may persist. As healing progresses, the redness may turn into a brownish hue that can take up to three months to disappear completely. Factors like smoking and diet can also influence the healing time. For faster recovery, it is recommended to avoid smoking and limit sugar intake.
