Stretch mark camouflage tattoo is a non-invasive procedure where a paramedical tattoo artist applies pigments to blend with the surrounding skin, reducing the appearance of stretch marks. The natural-looking skin tones help restore confidence by disguising stretch marks.

Stretch mark camouflage works to minimize the appearance of the marks by blending the skin tone, it does not remove the scarring.

• Stretch mark camouflage tattoo is a remarkable technique that offers numerous benefits for those seeking to minimize the visibility of stretch marks.

  The top benefits include:

  • Ability to conceal stretch marks.
  • The appearance of a more even, natural-looking skin tone enhances self-esteem and confidence.
  • Non-invasive and cost-effective alternative laser procedures.
  • The procedure can be done on most skin types.
  • Long-lasting results.
  • Personalized approach, allowing customization to match individual skin tone and texture.

• Appointments vary between 1-3 hours, depending on the complexity of the stretch marks and the desired outcome. The procedure may also require 2-3 sessions.

• Unlike many technicians that re-use or sterilize (via an autoclave) the various components of their equipment, we use all pre-packaged, sterile and disposable needles and needle casings. With the highly technologically advanced digital implantation system used at Newport Permanent Makeup, we use medical-grade needles that are encased in a special permanent cartridge. This patented cartridge system contains an internal diaphragm that prevents any bodily fluids and airborne contaminants from entering into the system. This ensures that you will receive the safest, most sterile form of cosmetic tattooing available. In addition, all of your procedures are done under Federal OSHA standards that regulate the sterile, safe and healthy practices for prevention of cross-contamination from person to person.

You may experience minor swelling and redness on procedure day. There is some minor redness, healing and peeling during the first week. Scar tissue is different than healthy skin. The treated sight often looks “angry” and has some minor oozing of natural healing fluid for a few hours. The color will appear too dark and may not look like it matches until the procedure is healed.

The final result will be revealed after 7-10 days of healing. You will return in 4-6 weeks for a follow-up visit to determine if the color tone and depth are satisfactory. It is typical to need some small areas of “touch up” at this visit to perfect the results. Scar camouflage is tricky and should be done in increments to ensure a natural blend. Think of the pixels in a digital photo. Pixels are dots of color that, when added together, create a picture that the eye sees as a solid. The same is true when doing successful scar camouflage. A dotted or pixelated technique creates a visual impression of blended color that makes the scar “disappear”. Too solid of a color implantation will just create a scar of a different color. It is important to be conservative when adding color to a scar, therefore several procedures may be necessary to ensure a natural result.

Some people may need the color darkened within one to five years after the procedure. This is typically only about $100, since it is merely a recoloring of any areas which have lost color intensity.

Yes, stretch mark treatments are worth it!

Both treatments significantly reduce the visible appearance of stretch marks. The treatments are also affordable.

These non-invasive procedures can help you feel more comfortable in your skin.
