STRETCH MARK REMOVAL TREATMENT: MY RESULTS.

[@yakelinjaramillo9887]

I got this treatment 2020 and I would say I saw an 80% reduction, and improvent of my stretch marks. I've spent thousands on creams, and other treatments and nothing happened. Don't be discouraged by one bad experience, I would go for it again if I could. I did take extra measures, I didn't wear any tight clothing for 7 months even when my skin healed, and I didn't stop moisturinzing with olive oil for skin until year 1. I am 4 years in and I am confident. I would do it again in a second and as many times as necessary. No cream, and no amount of self talk about aceptance would make me feel as good as I do after the treatment.

Will this work on old stretch marks?

[@travelknighterrant]

Hi, I'm a scar & stretch marks camouflage tattoo artist. Yes to your question - this will work on stretch marks too. Stretch marks due to pregnancy, weight loss & growth spurts. Depending on your skin tone, the tattoo artist can start with ISR ( ink less scar removal) then followed by tattooing a pigment that matches your skin tone. There will be a significant improvement. Just to make sure not to expect 100 concealment of the stretch marks. Hope this answers your question.

[@elizabethwilliams7069]

I went there in June 2021 and I had great results at first too . Mine did come back a little, but it’s not nearly as bad as before . I don’t regret it .

[@semoikhan7927]

Hey all. Let me start I'm skinny. Even after 3 kids. But ...I got them on my stomach. It has nothing to do with moisturizing. It has to do with genetics

[@xkarenxv]

Omg girl same happened to me I got my old white deep thick stretch marks inkless treated on my cleavage / breast area and they went away but 1 years later they’re back and white thick and deep like before??? I was so confused how they went away and came back…I just got a 2nd inkless treatment done and hoping for better results but I’m thinking it’s from being in the sun/tanning/vacation that made them basically more prominent/come back? No idea!

[@Chony-0u0]

Try moisturizing your skin!

[@travelknighterrant]

Glad you are going for another round. Maybe have the camouflage tattoo artist use a skin tone pigment on the 3rd round to make sure that you get the areas concealed for a longer time. Unfortunately this will come back every now & then because of sun exposure/lifestyle, age, hormones, medications we are taking, illness or one's immune system. Having a touch up is a factor that needs to be considered because even a skin tone ink used will fade over time. Goodluck!

[@TerenaTCloud]

Thank you for sharing! I hope your transparency helps others. I spent most of my life being ashamed of my stretchmarks and at 31 I am still humiliated when I see my stretchmarks in the mirror on my breasts, hips, butt, and stomach. I also have loose skin now and no pregnancies. Prevent, I can’t stress prevention enough.

[@travelknighterrant]

Never hurts to try ISR/ inkless scar revision - this uses serum for initial treatment then come back for camouflage tattoo on the second session. Camouflage tattoo uses skin tone pigment as close as your natural skin tone to conceal or diminish the stretch marks. If not interested with the tattoo fix, then look up skin products that may help improve some skin tone & texture concerns. There is DMK Skincare & SkinCeutical products. Hope this helps. I'm a paramedical tattoo artist that specializes in scar & stretch h marks camouflage tattooing.

[@bell2345]

This treatment didn’t work for me either. I have white stretch marks, and the pigment change is what makes you think they disappeared. Once my skin was healed the white stretch make came back. I’m going to try laser, or the color camouflage treatment.

[@CrystalChavis]

I'm sorry. Let me know how you like laser! I heard of it years ago and was told it's super expensive so I never looked into it after that.

[@travelknighterrant]

A non-invasive procedure that uses pigments to reduce how the stretch marks, skin discoloration or scars appear.

[@denissemartinez9071]

Maybe you should try co2 laser treatment. There’s been studies confirming the improvement of stretch mark reduction.

[@jessie8824]

I don’t think they went deep enough for you. Someone else went to the same place & had a similar experience. Also it’s not suppose to heal fast. I had mine done and they didn’t come back. It did take a few months for the dark lines that appeared after peeling to leave. But it has healed nicely for me. Also did they do red light therapy afterwards? And I waited 2 days to shower afterwards bc I was told not to wet or irritate the skin. And when I would shower, I would go faintly very gentle over the area. I didn’t want to injure it or cause scaring.

But for the dark marks to be completely gone, it took like 5-6 months for them to completely fade.

Usually it takes a few treatments, even up to 7 of them. What is your skin tone? If inkless doesn’t add back enough pigment they would move on to adding tattoo pigment.

[@anasalceda5024]

Hi Ang, I'm not sure what the actual skin tone name is for me but I'm Latina, i would say light tan with yellow tone.

[@Ang-qg1bc]

I wonder why the treatment works but doesn’t last 🤔 thank you for your video! Still looking at trying this treatment in future maybe

[@Mycatsaremyworld88]

You got to do like 6 sessions

[@travelknighterrant]

Great question👍 If you are using ink/pigment to camouflage then a touch up is part of the equation because the minerals used to create the ink does metabolize over time & fades. We have to factor in lifestyle, UV exposure, hormonal fluctuations, natural aging and one's immune system - all of these plays a role of how long the product gets broken down/metabolized. Hope this helps.

[@travelknighterrant]

Honestly, different strokes for different folks. Depending on the persons' skin type, some may only need 2 sessions and some need more. This is a journey, the process does take the client to make a commitment till the desired result or improvement is achieved. Healing time varies for everybody. It may only take 2-3 months for some, others may take up to 6 mos, or more.

Thank you for uploading this video I'm looking into the camouflage process and inkless is something I will not be doing.

[@travelknighterrant]

Hi, I'm a camouflage tattoo artist. The paramedics tattoo industry has come a long way, and medical grade, laboratory created serums to specifically target stretch marks & scars have come a long way. I would recommend to my clients that we try ISR aka inkless scar revision initially to help improve the texture, tone, promote collagen production & nourish the site. Then proceed to camouflage tattoo, this way there is less amount of pigment needed to conceal the affected area. Think of this as someone painting the walls - clean & smooth the area, maybe add a primer before rolling the desired paint. In the end, client makes the final decision. This is just how I would like to educate my clients beforehand. Hope this helps.

[@Ang-qg1bc]

Based on your photo after your treatment I don’t think they went deep enough or did enough passes! From what I read online the stretch marks are dark for weeks even up to 3 months after treatment especially for POC. It has to be like this because the idea is to add pigment back into the skin. Since you healed so quickly twice they definitely could have done a better job! I got my first treatment 5 weeks ago and the marks are still dark! I’m Fitzpatrick skin type 3-4 for reference.

[@ineedhoez]

That is why they did it lightly and not too deep. Because of the risk of a hyper pigmentation, they are less aggressive.

[@Ang-qg1bc]

I can see where you’re coming from but the stretch marks are essentially scar tissue and have lost their natural melanocytes. The idea of dry tattooing is to bring these back. If you think about it this way, when you stand in the sun do your stretch marks tan? No.

Second session in 10-12 weeks will use the camouflage or pigment tattoo. It will of course be client preference in the end. Inkless/serums that are lab created & medical grade have come a long way. They help improve the texture, tone, promotes collagen formation, improves elasticity & nourish the fragile skin area getting worked on. This is like the primer when painting a wall - smooths it before we roll in the desired paint color. Less skin tone ink is implanted for the 2nd session since the texture was already improved from the initial serum treatment. Hope this helps with your decision-making if you do decide to pursue this route. Good luck!

[@travelknighterrant]

Stretch marks/ scar serum that is medical grade & lab created have come a long way. As a paramedical tattoo artist, I personally use 2 different serums from different makers - NUE Conceal Seven or Brightening & Artemis Formula .03 - first session is with serum use only to help promote the texture, tone & promote collagen production to the fragile area. Second session is around 10-12 weeks after, I would encourage camouflage aka skin tone pigment tattoo especially for folks with warmer or darker skin tone. It's like painting a wall - serum is like primer to smooth & improve texture before rolling in the desired paint color. Hope this helps when you make your decision.

I feel your frustration. Unfortunately the scar/stretch marks does not vanish 100% forever. The realistic expectation is that there is an improvement for some time. A touch up from time to time is part of the journey. The pigments used does get metabolized by the body & over time it does fade. Hope this helps.

How did you get it to heal so quick? I just got mine done & have a vacation planned in 3 weeks 😭

[@CrystalChavis]

Lmao oh nooooo friend! I think you should be healed by then as far as the skin not being raw, but I think you’re supposed to avoid long term sun exposure for like 6-7 weeks

[@marthaespinoza934]

[@EJ-ne4cs]

The itching is normal and it will look dark for at least 2 weeks. Keep applying aquaphor 3 times a day

Hello did stretch marks gone​@@EJ-ne4cs

[@ElizabethMartinez-en2ng]

Thank you very much for you review!! I was looking to getting this done, but after you review I am not doing it. It’s appears to be a temporary bandaid, we need more research

[@CrystalChavis]

I’m happy I could help! I definitely don’t want my experience to deter anyone if they want to try it, everyone’s body is different. I just don’t have the research outside of my own results to personally endorse it.

Thanks

Do the service WITH INK

[@CrystalChavis]

I'm definitely considering it!

[@40s96]

ABSOLUTELY NOT!! It won’t match, and if you get a tan it’ll be a completely different color from the parts that’s not inked, A BIG NO!!! Continue to get the regular treatment

[@adrianaguzman6408]

Hi hi!!!! So I have done the inkless treatment and have gotten some results. One reason I will NEVER do it with ink is because I’m hopeful that one day a better laser will come out. Whenever you try to laser an area that is treated with skin colored ink, you run risk of the laser permanently making that area Black/Blue. I HATE my stretch marks but I am holding off 🤞🏽

1540 fractional laser is FDA approved to treat stretch marks
