Immediately Post Treatment:
Post care instructions will be given and reviewed. There is little to no downtime. Most patients can resume work the same day. It’s normal to experience redness and swelling immediately after the treatment for 1-3 days.
Over the next few weeks, the redness will dissipate and go through a variety of intensity of shades (from dark to light) until the skin heals.
Visible Results Post Treatment:
Every patient’s skin is different. Variables include age, diet, hormones, general health, overtones, sun exposure, etc and so it’s impossible to give an exact number of days it will take you to heal.
On average, it takes 45-60 days, but if you are prone to darker scars, it will most likely take longer to heal.
Longevity of Results:
Stretch Mark Camouflage is a penetrative skin treatment that can last up to 5 years or longer provided that the correct after-care procedures are adhered to.
You may or may not need a touch up/color boost treatment after 5-6 years. Remember, a stretch mark is a scar and so the skin is trickier to penetrate. In addition, as we age, all tattoos transition and change on our skin because there’s less elasticity and melanin production. This can affect your stretch mark camouflage tattoo, as well. |
