SCAR & STRETCH MARK CAMOUFLAGE & REMOVAL

Frequently Asked Questions

We know this isn’t something most people do every day—and it’s completely normal to have questions.

Here are the most common things clients ask before getting started.

 

 

Getting Started

 

 

Do I need a consultation first?

Not at all. We try to keep things simple.

Most clients start by texting us photos so we can:

  • answer your questions

  • talk through your goals

  • give you a personalized quote

If you prefer an in-person or virtual consultation, we can absolutely set that up too.

 

 

How do I get a price?

Pricing depends on the area being treated and your specific skin or scar.

The easiest way to get a quote is to:
👉 send us a few photos
👉 tell us what you’re looking to improve

We’ll guide you from there.

 

 

The Treatment

 

 

How many sessions will I need?

Most treatments take 2–4 sessions to achieve the best result.

We build the color gradually to keep everything looking natural.

 

 

How far apart are sessions?

Typically about 2–4 weeks apart, depending on the area and how your skin heals.

 

 

Does it hurt?

Most clients describe it as mild to moderate discomfort.

Everyone’s tolerance is different, but we do everything we can to keep you comfortable.

 

 

How long is each session?

Sessions can range from 1–3 hours, depending on the size and complexity of the area.

 

 

 

Results & Expectations

 

 

Will it completely erase my scar or vitiligo?

No—and we’re always honest about that.

The goal is to blend and soften the appearance, not completely remove it.

Most clients see a significant improvement in how noticeable the area is.

 

 

Will it look natural?

Yes—that’s the goal.

We custom-match your skin tone and build the color slowly so it blends seamlessly with your natural skin.

 

 

How long does it last?

Results are long-lasting, but like any pigment in the skin, they will gradually fade over time.

Touch-ups may be needed to maintain the best appearance.

 

 

Can I tan after treatment?

Yes—but with some things to keep in mind.

Your skin and the pigment may tan at slightly different rates, but overall the treated area will still appear less noticeable than before.

Tattoo Removal & Lightening

 

 

How is this different from laser removal?

Our method is non-laser, meaning:

  • no burning of the skin

  • less trauma to the area

  • safer for many skin types

It works by gradually lightening the pigment instead of aggressively breaking it down like lasers.

 

 

Is it faster than laser removal?

 

In many cases, yes.

Clients often need fewer sessions, and treatments are typically spaced only a few weeks apart—not months.

 

 

 

SMP (Scalp Micropigmentation)

 

 

Is SMP just for men?

Not at all.

SMP works for both men and women—especially women looking to add density without changing their hairstyle.

 

 

Do I have to shave my head?

No.

For women and many men, SMP can be done to add density without shaving.

 

 

Can SMP cover scars?

Yes—SMP is very effective for:

  • hair transplant scars (FUT & FUE)

  • injury scars

  • areas where hair no longer grows

 

 

Who Is This For?

 

 

Am I a good candidate?

You may be a great candidate if you:

  • have healed scars or stretch marks

  • have stable vitiligo or pigmentation concerns

  • want a more natural, even appearance

  • are looking for a non-surgical solution

If you’re unsure, just reach out—we’ll help guide you.
