Cost Effective & Healthy

• Inkless Scar Serum Treatments are an effective and non-invasive replacement for costly laser treatments.
• Scar serum treatments are one of the best ways to minimize the appearance of scars.
• The process utilizes a vitamin serum (without pigment or colors) and allows us to use a tattoo machine to micro-needle the serum into scars or stretch marks, reducing their appearance.

• Radiation markers are placed on the body near the area being treated by radiation. Sometimes these markers are small tattoos.
• We combine  micropigmentation with tattoo ink to disguise your radiation markers with flesh-pigment ink.
• The end result is a dot or mark that looks like a small moles or freckle. This camouflage tattoo can be done on any part of your body.

Consultations are important.

We can consult via email or text with photos provided by you.

• All scar treatment appointments must have a prior consult, via email, with photos.
• Not all scars can be treated with tattoo camouflage or serum treatments, but we can work on most scars. Please reach out for a free consultation!
• Most treatments involve multiple sessions. A consult allows us to accurately quote you a price for your treatment series.

Your scar needs heal for at least one year. Not all scars can be camouflaged. Please fill out our form and upload photos and we will assess your unique situation.

The process involves minimal pain.

Scar tissue does not usually have the same amount of feeling as healthy tissue.

• The camouflage process is typically pain free, however, we are happy to use topical numbing to relieve pain if needed!  

Some of them, yes.

We understand the importance of minimizing self-harm scars.

• If the scars are lighter in color than the surrounding skin, then we can use scar camouflage tattoo to minimize the appearance of the scars.
• Read this article in The Columbian about this subject.

Yes!

This is actually the easiest place for scar camouflage.

• We also offer velvet lip tattooing. If you have a scar that extends through your lips onto your skin, we can do the lip blush tattoo in conjunction with scar camouflage on the outside of the lip.

• Inkless Scar Serum Treatment utilizes a tattoo machine, without ink. A rotary tattoo machine is used to cause controlled trauma to the scar tissue while inserting a specialized serum into the skin.
• This treatment triggers the body to jumpstart the healing process and will minimize and soften the scar.
• Scar Camouflage Tattoo uses skin tone ink which camouflages the scar to match the surrounding skin tone. 

Scar revision is for anyone 18 or older who wants to minimize the appearance of their scars. However, this service is not recommended for those who are prone to keloids or severe hyperpigmentation. Also, scars must be at least one year old to be considered for treatment.

No!

Microneedling and scar serum treatments are not the same. Microneedling requires a different machine that has larger cartridges with many needles. Scar revision, on the other hand, uses cartridges with fewer needles to easily penetrate the skin and focus on the specific scar and stretch mark that needs treatment. Because of its unique characteristics, it's believed scar serum treatment is a more effective scar and stretch mark treatment than microneedling.

Scar serum treatment is a permanent solution. You may only notice discrepancies if your weight is unstable. 

Both treatments typically take 2 sessions, but sometimes, more sessions are necessary. It will ultimately depend on the size and depth of the scar and the amount of trauma there was to the skin.

There's no set timeline for when your skin will heal after your scar treatment. Typically, it takes about four weeks-eight weeks to heal. Afterward, your artist can determine if more sessions are required. 

No. Scar treatments will not completely eliminate the appearance of your scars. However, most people notice a 50-70% improvement after they complete their treatment.
