Say goodbye to self-consciousness and hello to renewed confidence. We offer two viable techniques that effectively reduce the visibility of scars: Stretch Mark Camouflage Tattoo and Inkless Stretch Mark Serum Treatments.

Two Types of Stretch Mark Camouflage
Stretch Mark Scar Camouflage:
This procedure utilizes a tattoo machine and carefully blended inks. The procedure effectively minimizes the look of stretch marks by blending the color to your undamaged skin tone.
Inkless Stretch Mark Serum Treatment:
With stretch mark serum treatment, your paramedical tattoo artist will use their rotary tattoo machine to lightly needle your stretch marks and then apply a cutting-edge stem cell serum, used for skin rejuvenation and tissue regeneration. This is an inkless method that helps to create a production of melanin, naturally filling in the stretch marks with your body’s own color. The serum aids in restructuring and healing, smoothing out the stretch marks and reducing their appearance.
