There are 2 treatments Med-Ink offers for Stretch Marks: Scar Camouflage and Inkless Stretch Marks Revision (ISR). ISR is an innovative technique used to permanently improve the appearance of stretch marks.
What Is Inkless Stretch Marks Revision?
- ISR is a cosmetic procedure specifically designed for stretch marks.
- It involves creating small wounds in the skin using a permanent makeup or tattoo machine.
- These tiny wounds serve as channels for a serum to be absorbed into the skin.
- The procedure stimulates the body’s natural healing response, enhancing collagen and elastin production.
- Unlike traditional tattoos, ISR does not use ink; instead, it relies on the serum for results.
- Other names for this treatment include:
- Inkless stretch marks treatment
- Inkless stretch mark removal
- Inkless stretch mark camouflage
- MCA Needling (Multi-tropanic collagen actuation)
- Dry Tattooing
- Collagen Induction Therapy
- Medical Needling
How Does It Work?
- The practitioner customizes an serum to match your skin tone.
- Using the permanent makeup or tattoo machine, they create controlled micro-injuries in the stretch mark area.
- The serum is then applied to enhance the body’s healing response.
- This combination treatment allows for better absorption than topical applications alone.
- ISR is effective for various skin tones and different types of stretch marks.
Benefits of Inkless Stretch Marks Revision:
- Fast and effective: Permanently improves the appearance of stretch marks.
- All-natural: Uses serums and vitamins.
- Minimal downtime: Healing time is relatively short.
- Numbing cream is applied to reduce discomfort.
- Typically, 1-4 sessions are required for optimal results.
Understanding Stretch Marks:
- Stretch marks, medically known as striae distensae, appear as visible linear scars.
- They develop due to excessive stretching or shrinking of the skin.
- Factors like pregnancy, puberty growth spurts, rapid weight changes, and muscle growth can lead to stretch marks.
- Early stretch marks may be reddish, purple, or dark brown, gradually fading over time.
Other Stretch Mark Treatments:
- Home remedies (such as lotions) have limited effectiveness.
- Sun tanning does not fade stretch marks; it may even make them more noticeable.
