What Is Inkless Stretch Mark & Scar Revision?
Inkless Stretch Mark & Scar Revision (ISR) is a non-invasive, pigment-free treatment that uses fine-needle techniques and custom healing serums to support your skin’s natural regeneration process.
ISR helps to:
Stimulate collagen and elastin
Rebuild the skin barrier
Improve tone, texture, and hydration
Visibly reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks
Unlike camouflage tattooing or laser resurfacing, ISR doesn’t burn or mask the skin. It works with your skin's natural healing process to transform both tone AND texture for results that look and feel like you.
What Can ISR Help With?
ISR is ideal for:
Stretch marks from pregnancy, weight shifts, puberty, or binding
Post-surgical scars like top surgery, mastectomy, or C-section
Injury scars or trauma from skin conditions
Indented or raised areas, including those previously treated with lasers or ink
This treatment is effective for all skin tones, including:
Fitzpatrick I–VI (based on how skin responds to UV light)
Monk Skin Tone Scale (a more inclusive 10-shade spectrum used at OLIS SKIN to better reflect skin diversity)
At OLIS SKIN, we believe that inclusive care means adapting both our tools and our techniques—not just our language.
Why Choose Inkless Over Camouflage or Lasers?
Factor | Inkless Revision | Camouflage Tattooing | Laser Resurfacing |
Pigment Use | No | Yes – adds ink to skin | No |
Inclusivity | Safe for all skin tones | Color matching can be challenging on deeper tones | Higher PIH risk for melanin-rich skin |
Downtime | Minimal | Moderate | Can be significant |
Goal | Healing texture and tone | Visual concealment | Surface damage for regeneration |
Best For | Long-term results and skin inclusivity | Clients seeking visual blending | Clients with lighter skin and deeper scars |
Gender-Affirming Scar Revision with Care
Some scars carry deep emotional weight—especially for trans and nonbinary clients healing from gender-affirming procedures like top surgery or body contouring.
Our care approach is:
Trauma-informed
Consent-led at every step
Affirming of identity, gender expression, and body autonomy
Rooted in compassion—not assumptions
What to Expect During Treatment
Consultation: Nurse Jen discusses your goals, health history, and scar/stretch mark concerns
Cleanse & Numb: Skin is prepped and numbed for comfort
Treatment: A fine-needle device creates microchannels while infusing customized serums
Aftercare: You’ll receive detailed healing guidance and product recommendations
Treatment length depends on the area(s) being treated. Most sessions last 30–60 minutes, and a series of 1–4 sessions may be recommended depending on severity and location.
Is There Downtime?
ISR is low-downtime and real-life friendly. Most clients return to normal routines right away.
You may experience:
Redness or sensitivity for 24–72 hours
Temporary dryness or itchiness as the skin heals
Avoidance of heat, sun exposure, or workouts for 2–3 days
Full healing takes up to 8 weeks
Keeping the area moisturized and protected is key to optimal results.
Real Results
Clients of all genders, tones, and life experiences have seen:
Visibly softer and smoother scars
More even skin tone and texture
Emotional relief and a deeper connection to their bodies
