DOES THIS TREATMENT REMOVE STRETCH MARKS?

Other than a tummy tuck, or the literal removal of skin, there is no proven way to remove stretch marks. The Stretch Mark Camouflage Tattoo only helps to conceal and diminish the appearance of stretch marks so that they are less perceptible to the naked eye. Think of it as having a permanent filter, taking away the white contrast of your scars.

CAN I GET THE TREATMENT WHILE PREGNANT OR BREAST-FEEDING?

Congratulations on your pregnancy, but unfortunately, we are unable to treat women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

 We look forward to treating you once your little one is weaned and your scars have been fully healed (usually within two years).

IS THE TREATMENT SUITABLE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES?

Generally, yes! However, there are a small number of people who the treatment would not be suitable for. Your stretch marks and scars need to be at least two years old, lighter than your skin tone and completely healed. Booking a virtual consultation can help determine if you’re a candidate for this procedure and is required for all clients.

CAN I GET TATTOOED IF MY SKIN IS ALREADY TANNED?

We prefer to match only your natural skin tone, and require that our clients postpone their session until their tan has faded. This ensures that we are able to custom blend an ink color that will look most natural whether you’re tanned or not.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I TAN?

Your camouflaged stretch marks and scars will not change color. If you tan, your skin’s overtone will darken, but your stretch marks will remain the same color as your natural skin-toned ink tattoo.

Overall, your stretch marks will still be camouflaged because the “white” is no longer there. In short, there’s less of an obvious contrast. Here’s a great video explaining what happens to your stretch mark tattoos when you tan.

WILL IT HURT? DO YOU NUMB YOUR CLIENTS?

The Stretch Mark Camouflage Tattoo is a penetrative skin procedure so a small amount of discomfort will be experienced. Usually on a scale 1-10 (10 being most painful), the average consensus is a 6 or 7. 

We do not numb our clients to avoid any interference to the purity and insertion of pigment into the scar. In addition, your pain receptors will be heightened if you’re on your monthly cycle, and so we suggest you book your session/touch-ups accordingly.

HOW WILL I LOOK IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS?

There’s little to no downtime. Most clients can resume work the same day, or even fly home after their session. It’s normal to experience redness and swelling immediately after the procedure for 1-3 days. 

For the first 3 days, you’ll be given strict instructions on how to minimize inflammation, speed up the wound-healing phase, and how to “ice” the area and keep it clean. 

Over the next few weeks, the redness will dissipate and go through a variety of shades (from dark to light) until your skin heals. We’ll be in contact with you every step of the way.

HOW QUICKLY WILL I SEE RESULTS FROM MY PROCEDURE?

Everyone’s skin is different. Variables include age, diet, hormones, general health, overtones, sun exposure, etc and so it’s impossible to give an exact number of days it will take you to heal.

On average, it takes 45-60 days, but if you’re prone to hyper-pigmentation (you naturally scar dark), it will most likely take longer to heal. During your consultation, we can discuss and assess your skin’s estimated timeline and variables.

*Here’s a recent case study of our fastest healing client to help you speed along your recovery!

HOW LONG WILL THE RESULTS OF THE PROCEDURE LAST?

The Stretch Mark Camouflage Tattoo is a penetrative skin treatment that’s only been around for 6-7 years. According to our industry, it will last 5 years, or more provided that the correct after-care procedures are adhered to.

You may or may not need a touch up after 5-6 years. Remember, a stretch mark is a scar and so the skin is trickier to penetrate. In addition, as we age, all tattoos transition and change on our skin because there’s less elasticity and melanin production. This can affect your stretch mark camouflage tattoo, as well.

WHAT IS THE COST OF THE PROCEDURE?

The total cost of the procedure varies greatly per technician and is dependent on the location and severity of the stretch marks or scar requiring treatment. Studio Conceal charges anywhere between $500-$2,000/ per area. 

We require an initial consultation (in-person or virtual) free of charge with zero pressure, during which the final cost can be determined by a formal quote.

DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?

Yes we do! We’ve partnered with United Medical Credit to offer easy, reliable financing for all camouflage services and training. It’s really easy to apply and only takes 3 minutes to get approved. They’ll do a soft credit check to determine your options and will be in contact with you in 24 hours. Apply for financing of tattoo treatment or training here, hassle free.

STRETCH MARK CAMOUFLAGE TATTOO VS. LASER TREATMENTS?

While Laser Treatments do work on stretch marks by damaging the skin’s outer layer and forcing it to heal itself, they do not put color back into the skin. So almost all clients who get Laser Treatments for their stretch marks still have noticeable stretch marks. In fact, many of our clients have had many

Laser Treatment procedures prior to walking into our studio. Another huge difference is the cost of that treatments.  Laser Treatments could run $1,000 to $3,000 per session, and can easily end up costing the client over $10,000 overall.

Jayd and her team were absolutely amazing. The studio space, the support, the tools…every single part of the training was the best quality. Jayd is an amazing instructor and I feel confident with my new skills to start on my own.

I found Jayd on Instagram searching for camouflage tattoo training for scars and stretch marks. After researching other artists I knew she was the instructor I was looking for. I flew in from Arkansas and she made the process so easy. She is by far one of the most thorough and genuinely caring instructors I have ever had. She covered every area of scar and stretch mark tattooing, color selection, marketing and so many things I didn’t even expect to receive. There are many instructors out there just trying to make money and don’t really care about the content. I feel like she has taken all of her own professional experiences with tattooing and training and gives you the best! I highly recommend Studio Conceal. Her employees are one of a kind, excellent! I’ve never felt so welcome and taken care of. Thanks Jayd! -Lucinda P

I couldn’t have asked for a more professional experience from Jayd and Jess! I went in for areola tattooing with my mom ( who had it done as well). They were both so open to any changes and any concerns we wanted to make from our previous consultation a few weeks before and open to offering any suggestions from their professional standpoint. The studio is immaculately clean and very tidy. I honestly don’t have words to describe the experience other than it’s something I’ll never forget and getting to do it with my mom was even more special . Jayd and Jess , you both are the most beautiful women I think I’ve ever met inside and out and I adore you both and will forever be so grateful for the “ completion “ of my journey through all of this. I can’t thank you both enough for everything ! And Jayd your talent is like nothing I’ve ever seen before and you’re so magical with your work! I truly love you both and thank you from the bottom of my heart and my moms! Can’t wait for the TU appointment soon!! Love, Kimberly C.

Jayd & Jess went above and beyond to ensure i was getting the correct treatment to achieve my desired goal. Jess was very informative, patient, and honest with every step of my session. Truly made me feel cared for. They both have a genuine desire and passion you can feel to help others reach the results theyre looking for. And that was the best feeling for me. I traveled from out of town and they both made my consultation and session smoother than I could’ve imagined. 🤍 thank you so much ladies, looking forward to my results . Will 1000% recommend. Y’all are changing lives 🙏🏼

Jayd did an amazing job on my stretch mark camouflage. She deserves 10 stars. They were very welcoming, I felt like family. The studio is pristine and up to date with CDC guidelines for Covid 19. Jayd and her assistant, Jamison went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable during my procedure. The procedure was quick and painless. We even got in a few good laughs and she even gave me a gift bag. The candle she gave me smells better than Bath & body works. I am overall, incredibly impressed from the moment I walked in to the moment I left. I feel very blessed to have met her. Studio conceal is the best in AZ!!
