Stretch marks and scars affect nearly everyone at some point, whether they’re from pregnancy, weight change, acne, or surgery. If you’ve been researching ways to fade or conceal them, you’ve probably come across two popular treatments: Inkless Rejuvenation and Ink Pigment Camouflage.
Both are powerful options, but they work very differently. Choosing the right one depends on your skin, your goals, and the type of marks you want to treat.
At Enluv Beauty Lounge, we offer both services and customize every treatment to each client. Let’s take a look at how these two methods compare and how to choose the best one for your body.
Inkless Rejuvenation is a non-pigment treatment that uses a tattoo machine to gently deposit healing serums into the skin. These serums contain active ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and peptides that support skin healing, collagen production, and improved tone.
This treatment helps to:
Smooth raised or textured scars
Lighten dark stretch marks
Encourage cell turnover and collagen remodeling
Improve overall skin health
The inkless method does not deposit any color into the skin. Instead, it stimulates your body’s natural repair process to fade and improve the appearance of marks over time.
Ink Pigment Camouflage, also known as Brazilian Camouflage, is a paramedical tattooing technique. It involves implanting pigment into stretch marks or scars using a tattoo device. The pigment is carefully matched to your natural skin tone to blend the mark with the surrounding area.
This method is ideal for:
Flat, pale, or white stretch marks
Scars that have fully healed
Clients who want instant visual blending rather than gradual repair
The goal is not to remove the mark but to visually hide it by color-correcting the area with custom pigment. Results from this treatment can last 8 to 10 years with proper aftercare and sun protection.
Both treatments are effective, but each is better suited for different needs.
Choose Inkless Rejuvenation if:
Your stretch marks or scars are textured or raised
You want to improve tone and texture without using pigment
You’re early in the scar revision process
Your marks are dark, red, purple, or new
You want a more natural, gradual result
Choose Ink Pigment Camouflage if:
Your stretch marks or scars are flat and lighter than your skin tone
You want them to match your skin tone immediately
You’re not concerned with improving texture
You are comfortable with tattooing pigment into the skin
Some clients choose to start with inkless rejuvenation to improve the skin’s texture and strength, then follow with ink pigment camouflage for seamless visual blending.
Inkless Rejuvenation:
Light redness and mild sensitivity for 24 to 48 hours
Skin may lightly peel or flake as it renews
Minimal downtime
Results appear gradually over four to six weeks
Usually done in a series of two to four treatments
Ink Pigment Camouflage:
Redness and mild swelling for one to two days
Possible scabbing or peeling as pigment settles
Full results appear within 30 to 60 days
Touch-up session may be needed after healing
Results can last 8 to 10 years with proper care
For both inkless and camouflage treatments, your stretch marks or scars should be at least six months old. This ensures the skin has fully healed and is safe to work on.
If your marks are still red, purple, or inflamed, we recommend waiting or starting with inkless rejuvenation to support the healing process before moving forward with camouflage.
Q: Can I get both treatments done in the same area?
A: Yes. Many clients begin with inkless to improve skin texture and follow up with ink pigment camouflage to match their natural skin tone.
Q: Will either treatment completely remove my scars or stretch marks?
A: No treatment can erase them completely. Both methods help reduce visibility. Inkless improves the skin’s condition, while camouflage blends the marks into your natural tone.
Q: Which treatment looks more natural?
A: That depends on your skin and the condition of your scars. Camouflage offers immediate blending, while inkless provides a more gradual and natural fade over time.
Q: Are these treatments safe for darker skin tones?
A: Yes. We specialize in working with melanin-rich skin and adjust pigment and treatment plans accordingly.
Q: How long do results last?
A: Inkless results are permanent skin improvements. Ink pigment camouflage can last 8 to 10 years, and may need occasional touch-ups depending on your skin and sun exposure.
