Stretch marks are common and completely natural, yet many individuals seek ways to reduce their visibility. Stretch mark camouflage is a specialized paramedical tattooing technique designed to blend stretch marks with surrounding skin tone. At Beyoutiful Ink in Little Falls, this treatment offers a non-surgical option for improving skin appearance.
Rather than removing stretch marks, the goal is visual blending. The result is smoother-looking, more uniform skin tone.
How Stretch Mark Camouflage Works
Stretch mark camouflage involves implanting custom-blended pigment into lighter stretch mark areas. This reduces contrast between the marks and natural skin.
The treatment works best on lighter, flat stretch marks. Red or newly formed stretch marks typically require time to mature before treatment.
Clients often pair this service with scar camouflage tattooing for comprehensive skin tone correction.
