Advanced Ink-less Scar Revision
ISR (Inkless Scar Revision) is a paramedical tattooing technique designed to improve the appearance of scars without using traditional tattoo ink. instead of pigment, the treatment relies on a blend of medical grade serums. This stimulates collegen production and allows serums to penetrate deeply into the skin, improving elasticity, hydration and overall skin tone.
As the scar tissue regenerates over the following weeks, it gradually becomes smoother, lighter, and more uniform in color. ISR is ideal for clients looking to improve scar texture and appearance without altering their natural skin tone or color. This treatment can significantly reduce the appearance of the scar but doesnt completely erase it. Multiple sessions may be needed depending on the severity of the scar. This treatment is safe for all skin types and can provide long-lasting results with minimal downtime.
This method works best on raised, hypertrophic, or textured scars such as stretch marks ( pink, purple & white), surgical scars or burns.
1 to 4 session recommended

Healing time 4 to 6 weeks
Stretch mark & Scar Camouflage
Stretch mark & Scar camouflage is a paramedical tattooing procedure that uses high quality pigments to blend the appearance of scars with the surrounding skin tone. Using specialized needles, the practitioner deposits the pigment into the top layer of the skin. The goal is to blend the scar’s color into the surrounding skin, making it less noticeable. This technique focuses on minimizing the visibility of scars, stretch marks, vitiligo and other skin conditions as well as those resulting from surgeries like tummy tucks, top surgery, c-sections or breast augmentations.
This treatment is especially beneficial for people with lighter or moderate scars, as it helps restore confidence by making scars less visible. However, it’s important to note that scar & stretch mark camouflage doesn’t completely remove scars, but rather makes them less noticeable. The first session will usually be a little lighter and may require an additional session for optimal results.
Healing time 4 to 6 weeks
1 to 3 sessions recommended depending on desired result
Scar Treatment
Scar treatment, the goal is fading hyperpigmentation (darkened areas) and hypopigmentation (lightened areas) focus on restoring a more balanced and even skin tone. These treatments target scars where the natural pigmentation process has been disrupted, either causing excess melanin production (hyperpigmentation) or a loss of pigment (hypopigmentation) .
These treatments aim to smooth and even out the skin tone, improving the appearance of scars, whether they are darker or lighter than the surrounding skin. Depending on the severity and type of pigmentation issue, multiple sessions or a combination of treatments may be necessary for optimal results.
Scar must be at least 1 year old
1 to 4 session recommended depending on desired result
