How long does the result last?

Scar camouflage is a penetrative skin treatment using permanent tattoo pigments. This means that the results last indefinitely, provided that the correct after care procedures are adhered to. As with any tattoo ink, this will fade slowly over time, but the pigments we use should not change colour. With stretch mark tattoo camouflage, the dilution of the ink is increased for natural result, meaning they do not last as long as a regular decorative tattoo. The longevity of results varies greatly depending on many factors such as a person’s immune system, sun exposure, products used on the skin and adhering to the aftercare whilst the treatment is healing. On average the results can last anywhere from 3 to 7 years and touch ups are available. We cannot predict how your skin will react with the pigments and how quickly it will fade, so we can only advise on averages. The pigment doesn’t last as long as a traditional tattoo due to the dilutions required for natural results. Please also keep in mind that needling the skin even without ink can help improve the appearance of stretch marks, so even when the pigment fades, they should appear better than they were initially before the treatment.
