Inkless Tattoo Revision to Improve the look of Stretch Marks
Inkless Tattoo Revision is a safe skin treatment used to improve the look of stretch marks using natural serums, organic oils, and vitamin C. These are used to rejuvenate and reconstruct elastin, collagen, and fibroblast cells, which in turn gives the skin a healthy look.
A vibrating motor in a tattoo machine creates a small wound in the scar area. In a regular tattoo, tattoo needles are immersed in ink and when going over the treated area, deposits the ink into the skin. With the inkless tattoo process, the needles run “dry.” A wound is created that allows the special serum to penetrate deep into the skin.
In the case of an inkless tattoo, the technician repeats the pattern numerous times to ensure even coverage, and the client is given special aftercare instructions using moisturizers and scar gel to continue the healing process.
So basically, the procedure for having an inkless tattoo treatment is like that of getting an inked tattoo. The difference is the lack of ink and instead a healing serum is used on the treated area.
When people have tattoos with ink, they are given aftercare guidelines that facilitate speedy, smooth healing and are designed to avoid scarring, which can make a tattoo look unattractive. The same care is given for this Inkless tattoo skin treatment.
Inkless tattooing is also called dry tattooing, medical needling, or inkless needling. Using a serum for this procedure comes with the benefit of having vitamins and healing properties deposited deeply into the skin. This greatly helps to heal the skin quicker, and it gives better results on the scars.
