Inkless Revision

At SKINS ONLY, we offer Inkless Revision by Inducing controlled trauma to scars and stretch marks essentially breaks down the scar tissue, initiating a process of restructuring and repair. The needling procedure prompts the rebuilding of collagen and elastin. Particularly in various skin types, including darker ones, needling can stimulate the natural repigmentation of stretch marks without the use of ink. The Ink Camouflage is designed to smooth out both wrinkly and deeper stretch marks, with the goal of reducing their visibility. It aims to shrink and flatten stretch marks and scars, making them less conspicuous. While it’s important to note that complete elimination of stretch marks or scars is not possible, the needling process can significantly enhance their appearance and minimise their visibility.

Stretch marks can manifest in various forms, such as indented lines on the skin or bands displaying hues of red, pink, purple, or silver.
