What to Expect After Treatment?
Great news is that there is no downtime after this treatment. Clients can resume to normal day activities and work right after. Immediately after the treatment however, we advise not to get the treated area exposed to water for 12 hours and not to work out until 2 days after your treatment. Your treated stretch marks will be red immediately after the treatment and it usually takes 2 to 6 weeks for the treated stretch marks to heal. Please note that during the healing period, your stretch marks will go from red to dark brown before fading into your skin.

- Avoid sunscreen, self-tanning or any cream that contains Vitamin D for 40 days.
- Days 1 – 4: Do not take Advil after the procedure (next 24 hours). Redness, swelling, tightness, feeling of being sunburned is a normal reaction.
Avoid all things hot: sauna, hot tub, sweating etc. You can shower 12 hours after procedure. Use the given cleanser to cleanse the area. Do not rub aggressively Apply aftercare 2 x day or as required to keep area hydrated. - Days 3 – 10: Area will become dry, flakey and possibly a small amount of scabbing (DO NOT PICK). Apply aftercare 2 times a day or as needed.
- ALWAYS USE SUNSCREEN WHEN THE TREATED AREAS ARE EXPOSED TO THE SUN!
- Week One: The skin may be dry and flakey and angry looking.
- Week Two: The skin will be less angry, less swollen, and a little more flat.
- After Two Weeks: Even though you may still be seeing your skin returning to normal it’s not uncommon to see redness and/or hyperpigmentation. This is the color of your skin turning tan or white, all completely normal.
Frequently Asked Questions
You can come in with a tan, and tan once fully healed, this will not effect the results. I do ask that you refrain from direct sun exposure in the treated area for 30 days. If you must expose the area to the sun during healing you MUST WEAR SPF. After healing, the Inkless treatment allows the skin to restore the color back into the skin naturally. Therefore, when the surrounding skin becomes tan, so will the stretch marks.
You can see a 20-80% improvement in the appearance of the stretch marks in just one session. Typically, 1-3 sessions are recommended. The remaining number of sessions will depend on the results of the previous session. At this point you can determine whether more treatments are needed for you.
Sessions are done every 6-12 weeks depending on your healing process. We will be checking in and asking for photos along the way.
Our clients have said the pain level is a 2-4 out of 10. This can vary with different areas of the body.
Consults are not needed, but preferred for this treatment, as it is a great way for us to go over the process with you, consults can be done by texting us photos of the area, coming in, or giving us a call to talk further.
If you’re planning to breastfeed you MUST wait until you’re finished. If you’re NOT planning to breastfeed, the stretch marks must be 3 months or older, and you need to be cleared by your doctor. If you’re not cleared by your doctor, you must wait until the stretch marks are 9 months old.
