INKLESS EPIDERMAL RESURFACING PRE-CARE

This treatment is a minimally invasive paramedical procedure that is successful in camouflaging and minimising the appearance of scars without using skin coloured ink. We use a digital tattoo machine with medical grade skincare serums which are implanted into the skin, we use several tiny little needles which help to infuse the serums, and also, cause micro-injuries to trigger the body’s immune/healing response. This helps the body to naturally produce more collagen and elastin within the scar and helps to either produce or inhibit melanin depending on the colour of the scar. This treatment can improve skin irregularities in as little as one session, however multiple sessions may be required.
