Le Inkless Scar Revision (ISR) se concentre sur la texture de la cicatrice. Sans injecter de couleur, nous utilisons des sérums régénérants hautement concentrés pour lisser la peau, réduire le relief, combler les creux ou assouplir les tissus. A l'aide d'un micro aiguillage profond.

The Camouflage Tattoo focuses on the color. We inject custom medical pigments, matched to your natural skin tone, to visually blend the white or depigmented scar into the rest of your skin.

The timing depends on the technique and the stage of your stretch mark:

• As soon as it appears (Stage Rubra - Red/Purple): You can start the Inkless (ISR) immediately. Acting quickly during the active phase allows for the infusion of serums to accelerate skin reconstruction and prevent it from leaving too deep a hollow as it lightens. Camouflage tattooing is prohibited at this stage..

• Once stabilized (Stage Alba - White/Peal) : You can do an Inkless (ISR) to smooth the relief and tighten the mark, or go directly to the Camouflage Tattoo if the stretch mark is already quite flat.

We will not be able to proceed with the treatment if you present any of the following criteria:

• Request for Camouflage Tattoo on stretch marks that are still red, pink, or purple (Stage Rubra).
• Infection active, plaie ouverte, eczéma, acné ou psoriasis sur la zone à traiter.
• Grossesse ou allaitement (par mesure de précaution éthique et immunitaire).

Yes, and it is the ideal method for wide or hollow stretch marks! We start with Inkless (ISR) sessions to smooth the wrinkled texture, reduce the width, and break the shiny pearlescent effect. Often, ISR alone is sufficient. If a white contrast persists after the complete healing of the tissues, we finalize the visual work with the Camouflage Tattoo.

Yes, in the majority of cases. Autoimmune diseases (such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, or multiple sclerosis) directly affect the immune system.

Since our treatments rely on a controlled micro-injury to force the skin to repair itself, an overactive or weakened immune system can compromise healing. A written authorization from your specialist doctor is absolutely required before making an appointment.

The session must be refused or postponed if you are affected by :

• Type 1 or uncontrolled diabetes : It significantly slows down cell regeneration and greatly increases the risk of infection.
• Coagulation disorders : Hemophilia or daily use of anticoagulants.
• A treatment for severe acne (Roaccutane / Accutane / Isotretinoin) : You must have completely stopped this treatment for at least 6 to 12 months, as it drastically thins and weakens the skin.
• An ongoing oncological treatment : Chemotherapy, radiotherapy or immunotherapy. The body must have recovered (usually 6 months after the end of the protocols) and your oncologist must provide written consent.

• For ISR (Inkless) : Tanning is not a barrier, but the skin must not show any active sunburn in the stretch mark area.

• For Tattoo Camouflage : It is a major contraindication. You must come with your natural skin color as light as possible. If we create a pigment mix on tanned skin, the camouflage will appear much too dark and inappropriate once your winter tan has faded.

Sensitivity depends on the area of the body (the belly or the inner thighs are more sensitive than the buttocks or hips) and each person's tolerance threshold. The sensation is generally similar to light tingling or scratching. We work with great technical precision to minimize discomfort as much as possible.

The number of sessions varies according to the size, thickness, texture, and reaction of each skin:

• Pour le Inkless (ISR) : Il faut généralement prévoir entre 3 et 6séances, espacées de 6 à 8 semaines, 12 dans de rares cas.
• For Tattoo Camouflage: Count between 3 and 5 sessions to achieve a natural transparent result, spaced out by 6 to 8 weeks, 12 in rare cases.

Success depends 50% on the work done in the studio and 50% on your home care.

• During the following 10 to 14 days: Sun exposure, tanning, swimming (pool, spa, sauna, hammam) and intensive sports (excessive sweating in the first 5 days) are strictly prohibited.
• Fine scabs will form during the first week: do not scratch, rub, or pick them off at all, or you risk ruining the result or creating a new mark. You will need to apply the recommended healing cream in a thin layer with clean hands.

Ideally not, in order to ensure optimal working conditions.

For strict hygiene reasons, safety, and to ensure the technician's maximum concentration during this precision procedure, companions, children, as well as pets are not allowed in the treatment room. If a relative accompanies you, they should ideally wait in the waiting area at the entrance.

The consultation is a key step where we thoroughly analyze the texture, maturity, and risks for your scar. This moment requires all our technical expertise, dedicated time in the treatment room, and the creation of a safe, customized treatment plan. The consultation fees reflect the value of this personalized professional analysis.

We will first validate the basic feasibility of your project by message before inviting you to book your official consultation or directly your 1st appointment of your treatment plan.
