Stretch marks are scars that occur when the skin stretches and shrinks quickly. Such changes can result in collagen and elastin damage and loss.

Stretch marks can be white, pink, purple, silvery, and dark brown. These can be slightly raised or itchy, or dipping below the normal skin, creating a shadow and depression.

Re-pigmentation for effective stretch mark treatment in London

Re-pigmentation or Brazilian stretch mark treatment London uses permanent tattoo ink and tattooing techniques for the best results possible. This helps to re-pigment stretch marks, scars, vitiligo, and other issues to match the colour of your skin.

The skin may also need repairing first, to prepare for tattooing.  Professionals use special skin booster serums to smooth the skin, and repair is naturally before considering ink.  If ink is still needed after needling, the artist will custom blend a colour, matching the tattoo ink to your skin tone through this method. This is then placed into the skin through tattoo needles. It helps to blend the same to the natural skin tone to make stretch marks, scars, and hypopigmentation less visible.

How does this treatment work? 

MCA inkless tattooing stretch mark treatment in London helps to deliver controlled trauma to your scars and stretch marks. Expert needling helps rebuild collagen and elastin. It also helps to boost re-pigmentation without the need for ink.

Such a treatment also helps to smooth the wrinkly and deeper stretch marks. With surgery scars, it acts deeply to regenerate the softer tissues and relax the wounds.

After this stage, clients may then need to also insert skin tone ink to hide any colour difference still visible after completing MCA inkless tattooing.

How is this treatment better than traditional methods of scar camouflage?

Brazilian stretch mark treatment in London helps you to get better and more lasting results than traditional methods of scar camouflage. This is because the latter (in the past) has used semi-permanent methods to eliminate the issue. These use smaller particle size pigmentation ink, which is easily absorbed by the body. This also means the colour can fade unevenly, leaving an unwanted colour in the skin.  You usually can get 1-3 years of results with semi-permanent methods. Please also note that no ink is truly semi-permanent – some ink will always remain in the skin.

Be mindful that there may be inexperienced tattoo artists and thus can result in unsafe conditions and terrible results. Matching the tone colour is an art which takes a lot of skill and understanding, so you want to avoid poorly matched colour with your original skin tone.

On the other hand, adopting the Brazilian tattoo camouflage treatment delivers longer lasting, more stable results, and reduces the need for as many touch ups.

Do women need such treatments more than men? 

Yes, studies show that women have higher instances of stretch marks than men. Also, around 50-90% of females have stretch marks on areas like –

• Buttocks,
• Thighs,
• Hips,
• Stomach,
• Breasts,
• Lower back, etc.

However, men can get stretch marks on limited areas like – arms, chest, stomach and hips.

Unfortunately, once you get stretch marks, these cannot go away alone. Creams, laser therapy, etc., can deliver short-term results. This can prove to be expensive in the long term.

Brazilian stretch mark and scar treatment can deliver lasting results using tattoo needles, skin tone ink, and skin repair serums. Several sessions of either methods (with or without ink) are usually required to see a good improvement.

How many sessions of such treatment are needed to get the best results?

Scar and stretch marks are signs of compromised skin with poor elastin and collagen. It is, therefore, challenging to predict the extent of results post-treatment.   This is largely dependent on the client also – immune system, age, lifestyle, health, aftercare, medication etc.

Also, skin tone ink must be diluted to deliver natural results. Often, this can build up after 2-3 sessions. Professionals perform patch tests to determine the best skin tone and the extent of absorption (or detention) of the ink.

Clients with hyperpigmentation need special attention and care. This is because tattooing can worsen hyperpigmentation and keloid scars.  Again, the professional chosen should be trained to work with all skin types to avoid any issues and perform the treatment journey safely.

Similarly, the healing process after this varies for the reasons mentioned above, and stretch marks can take around 60-90 days to heal completely.

Thus, with a professional consultation, it is possible to determine the best course of treatment for you.
