Stretch Mark & Scar Camouflage

Overview

Our Stretch Mark & Scar Camouflage service is designed to reduce the visible contrast of stretch marks and certain scars and help the area look more blended with surrounding skin.

We offer two techniques, and we’ll recommend the most suitable option following a consultation:

✅ Inkless Camouflage (Needling / Skin Remodelling) – improves texture and encourages the skin to look smoother and more even.
✅ Inked Camouflage (Pigment Camouflage Tattooing) – custom colour-matching pigment is implanted to help blend lighter or discoloured areas.

Results vary depending on skin type, scar type, colour, age of the mark, and individual healing response.

How does this treatment work?

Both techniques work by supporting the skin’s natural repair processes.

Inkless needling stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping to strengthen the skin and improve texture over time.
Pigment camouflage focuses on reducing colour contrast so scars or stretch marks blend more naturally with the surrounding skin.

In many cases, improving the skin structure first leads to better and longer-lasting overall results.

Which option is best for you?

1) Inkless Camouflage – MCA Needling / Skin Remodelling

Best for:

• Stretch marks (especially when texture is the main concern)

• Scars with textural changes (where colour isn’t the only issue)

• Clients who prefer a non-pigment approach

How it works:
A specialised needling technique stimulates the skin’s natural renewal process and helps the area appear smoother and more even over time.

What it can improve:

• Texture and unevenness

• The “etched” look of some stretch marks

• Overall blending with surrounding skin

2) Inked Camouflage

Best for:

• Stretch marks or scars that appear lighter than surrounding skin

• Areas where colour contrast is the main concern

• Clients wanting a stronger visual blending effect

How it works:
We custom-blend pigment to suit your skin tone and gently implant it into the area to help camouflage colour differences.

Important note:
Pigment camouflage softens the appearance but does not remove scars or stretch marks completely. Colour matching requires precision and may need adjustment sessions.

What can be treated?

We may be able to treat:

• Stretch marks (common areas: hips, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms)

• Surgical scars (once fully healed)

• Some injury scars

• Certain pigmentation differences (after assessment)

Not suitable for:

• Raised or keloid scars

• Active skin conditions in the area (eczema flare, infection, open skin, etc.)

• Very new scars or stretch marks (must be fully healed and stable)

Consultation

Your consultation includes:

• Skin and scar assessment

• Suitability check

• Choosing inkless vs inked approach (or a staged treatment plan)

• Patch test advice (if required)

• Personalised treatment plan and expected number of sessions

• Aftercare guidance

How many sessions will I need?

Most clients require multiple sessions for optimal blending.

Typical guidance:

• Inkless: often 2–4 sessions (varies by area and texture)

• Inked camouflage: often 1–3 sessions (including perfecting or adjustment)

Sessions are usually spaced 4–8 weeks apart to allow full healing and settling of texture or colour.

Results vary between individuals. This treatment improves the appearance of scars and stretch marks but does not completely remove them.

Downtime & Healing

• Treatment time depends on the area size

• Mild redness and sensitivity are normal

• Healing varies depending on method and skin type

• Final results develop gradually and are best assessed once the skin has fully settled

Full aftercare and long-term maintenance advice will be provided.

Aftercare

After your session, you will be advised to:

• Keep the area clean and follow your aftercare plan

• Avoid sunbeds and sun exposure on the treated area

• Avoid swimming, saunas, and heavy sweating for a short period

• Avoid harsh or active skincare on the area while healing

Safety & Suitability

This treatment is suitable for many clients but is not appropriate for everyone.
We always prioritise safety, suitability, and realistic outcomes.

If you are unsure whether this treatment is right for you, we recommend booking a consultation for honest, professional advice.
