Frequently Asked Questions About Stretch Mark and Scar Revision
What is skin revision?
SMR and SR are treatments that helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks using serums or skin-boosting ingredients. The process triggers natural healing and skin regeneration, improving skin texture and color.
How does skin revision work?
The treatment involves a needling techniques to infuse serums directly into the stretch marks, promoting collagen production and improving skin elasticity. The skin's healing response helps reduce the visibility of the stretch marks/scars.
Is revision permanent?
While the results can be long-lasting, the permanence depends on factors like skin type, lifestyle, and how the body responds to the treatment. Periodic touch-ups may be required for some individuals to maintain results.
How many sessions are needed to see results?
Most clients see visible improvements after 1-3 sessions. However, the exact number of sessions required depends on the severity of the stretch marks/scars and individual skin response.
Does inkless stretch mark revision hurt?
The treatment is generally well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort. Some people may experience slight tingling sensation during the procedure.
Who is a good candidate for inkless stretch mark revision?
People with light or faded stretch marks/scars are ideal candidates. Thetreatment is effective for all skin types and tones, but those with darker skin may need additional care to prevent hyperpigmentation. This treatment is not suitable for keloid scars.
Can revision be done on fresh stretch marks and scars?
As long as the stretch marks are at least 3 months old or the scar is at least 6 months old, we can start the treatment.
Are the results of skin revision instant?
No, the results are gradual. However, because we use Nue Conceal serums, which are specifically formulated for faster healing, you will be able to heal in as little as two to six weeks.
Is there any downtime after the treatment?
The downtime is minimal. Some clients may experience redness, mild swelling, or skin sensitivity for a few days, but most can return to their regular activities right after treatment. However, it's important to avoid sunbathing for 30 days and excessive sweating or soaking the treated area in water for 7 days (such as pools or baths).
How long do the results last?
Results can be permanent, especially if the client follows the aftercare instructions, maintains healthy skin (hydration, diet and sun exposure minimization) and avoids rapid weight fluctuations. Occasional touch-ups can help maintain the outcome.
What are the risks or side effects?
Side effects are typically minimal but can include redness, irritation, and minor swelling. In rare cases, there may be slight hyperpigmentation, especially for darker skin tones.
How does skin revision differ from traditional stretch mark camouflage?
Skin revision uses serums or skin treatments without pigments, while stretch mark camouflage involves implanting ink to blend the marks with surrounding skin. Inkless revision focuses on skin healing rather than color matching.
Is it safe for all skin types?
Yes, the treatment is generally safe for all skin types. However, people with very sensitive skin or certain medical conditions should consult a professional before undergoing the treatment.
How long do session take?
Sessions typically last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on the size and severity of the area being treated. This includes red light therapy at the end. Numbing cream is available for very low pain tolerance individuals (but is not necessary for most clients), which takes 15-20 minutes.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes, it can be combined with treatments like laser therapy or microneedling to enhance results, but it's essential to consult your technician about the best approach for your skin.
How much does skin revision cost?
The cost varies depending on the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions required, but it typically ranges from $650 to $800 per session.
Can it be used on all parts of the body?
Yes, the treatment is safe for most areas of the body, including the stomach, thighs, arms, breasts, and hips.
When will I see the full results of the treatment?
Full results can take 2-6 months to become apparent as the skin regenerates and produces more collagen, but significant improvement is often seen within a few weeks!
Is there any aftercare required?
Yes, it's important to follow aftercare instructions provided by your technician, such as avoiding sun exposure, moisturizing the treated area, and refraining from intense physical activities for a few days.
Can I undergo skin revision if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
It is generally advised to wait until after pregnancy and breastfeeding to undergo inkless stretch mark revision, as the skin is more sensitive during these times and results
may be less predictable.
