Scar & Stretch Mark Camouflage

Look after your skin and stay hydrated in the weeks leading up to your appointment so the treatment area is in the best possible condition prior to your session.

Stop using skin thinners such as vitamin A, glycolic acids, or exfoliating on the area 2 weeks prior to your appointment.

Any waxing or shaving should be done at least 2 days prior to your treatment.

If you get cosmetic botox or fillers near the area being treated, these should be done 2 weeks prior or 2 weeks after your treatment.

You may experience hypersensitivity and more pain during your treatment around or during your menstrual cycle.

We will not be able to needle over any blemishes, sores, and moles in the area.

For body treatments please arrive wearing comfortable loose clothing.

Do not apply fake tan to the area close to your appointment and make sure all fake tan has been removed at least 7 days prior.

For 2–4 weeks after the treatment, you may experience the following symptoms: flaking, shedding, tenderness, dryness, itching, swelling, redness and tightness.

Avoid getting the area wet for 5–7 days and blot gently with a damp cloth if the area gets wet. After this period wash with warm water gently in the shower and avoid any fragranced soaps or body washes.

Do not expose the area to any extreme temperatures — this includes sunbathing, tanning beds, saunas etc — for two weeks.

After a few days the colour will gradually settle and increase in intensity over the next few weeks. Depending on your treatment and degree of scarring, you may require more than one appointment.

Use at least SPF 50 or a tattoo stick to protect your pigment. Sun exposure is the biggest thing to cause fading and can alter the colour of your treatment.

Stay hydrated and keep your skin healthy.
