What is Inkless Stretch Mark Revision & how is it done?

ISR is a treatment used to revise stretch marks on the skin of the body. What is special about this process is that, instead of using pigments, a mixture of organic serums along with a needle machine are used to help activate and regenerate the production of collagen, elastin, and melanin. This makes the process suitable for all types of stretch marks, not just white ones!

Is ISR safe & how long do results last?

ISR is totally safe and can be done on all parts of the body except the face. The results of an ISR treatment can be permanent for some, while others may require touch-ups. The longevity of the results depends on various factors such as your type of skin, stretch marks, lifestyle, diet, whether weight remains stable, etc.

How does ISR improve stretch marks?

ISR treats scars and stretch marks by creating better skin tone, texture, and color. We tattoo a customized healing serum into the stretch marks to achieve this. This activates the production of collagen, elastin, and melanocytes to be in the affected area.

Is it painful & is there down time?

The level of pain depends on your individual pain tolerance. Some people describe the pain as being similar to that of getting a tattoo, while others rate it painless. Anesthetics are not used for this procedure since they can constrict the blood flow, which slows down or even stops the immune response we aim for. It is best not to schedule treatment while on your menstrual cycle to avoid higher than normal sensitivity. Most clients can resume work on the same day or next. The area treated will be inflamed and irritated immediately after and a few days after the procedure. 

How long does a session take & how many are needed?

An ISR session can take up to 2 hours, but it all depends on the size of the treatment area. ISR treatment is known to generate great and fast results. You will notice significant improvement just after the first session. We can determine whether or not you will require additional sessions after 6 weeks of the initial session.

What will healing be like?

The area treated will be red, raised, and inflamed immediately after the procedure and may take a few days to subside, but this is normal and to be expected. Minor itchiness can be relieved by rubbing our recommended ointment on the area. It can take up to six weeks for the skin to heal from within, but the outer skin usually heals within 7-10 days. 

ISR VS Laser

Laser Treatments work on stretch marks by damaging the skin’s outer layer and forcing it to heal itself, similar to ISR.  However, unlike ISR, laser treatments do not put color back into the skin. Another huge difference is cost. Laser Treatments can run $1,000 to $3,000 per area, while ISR is much more affordable per area.
