Inked vs. Inkless — Which Is Right for You?
Inked Camouflage (Pigment Blending)
- Best for mature, light (hypopigmented) stretch marks
- Undertone‑aware pigments to match surrounding skin
- Micro‑pixel veiling prevents solid “makeup” look
- Typical plan: 2–4 sessions for even blending
- Longevity: ~3–7 years; refresh at 24–48 months
Inkless Revision (Texture Softening)
- Ideal for textural concerns and mixed tones
- Targeted microneedling + pro serums to encourage smoother appearance
- Gradual change over 2–5 sessions as your skin remodels
- Longevity: improvements are durable but vary by biology
Red/purple (active) stretch marks usually require time to mature before inked camouflage. We’ll advise the safest path during your consultation.
The Face Naked Studio Method
- Assessment — skin type, tone, stretch‑mark age and depth.
- Test Patch — confirm color stability or response (when appropriate).
- Comfort Protocols — with our high‑quality numbing, most clients feel minimal to no discomfort.
- Application — inked blending or inkless revision; sometimes combined in stages.
- Aftercare & Staging — SPF planning and session spacing to protect and perfect results.
Healing & Aftercare
- Days 1–3: Area looks darker; mild redness is normal.
- Days 4–10: Light flaking; tone/texture begins to soften.
- Weeks 6–12: True appearance settles; additional sessions if desired.
Sun & Tanning: Avoid tanning before/after sessions. Consistent SPF helps maintain color stability and results.
