Tips for Faster Healing

1. Follow the Aftercare Instructions Provided: 

  • The first step towards quicker healing is to closely follow the aftercare guidelines provided by your technician. This can include instructions on how to clean the area, what products to use, and activities to avoid. 

2. Cold Compresses can be your best friend in the first 24 hours.

  • They help reduce swelling and soothe the skin. Follow the instructions provided in the appointment prep and healing information sheet provided.

3. Keep the Area Clean: 

  • Gently cleanse the tattooed area with a mild, fragrance-free soap and lukewarm water. Avoid submerging the area in water. This includes baths or swimming pools. Do this for at least a few weeks post-procedure to help prevent infection.

4. Moisturize Regularly: 

  • Applying a thin layer of the recommended healing ointment helps to keep the area hydrated and promotes healing.

5. Avoid Sun Exposure: 

  • Protect the treated area from sun exposure during the healing process. UV rays can cause discoloration and damage to the healing skin. Wear protective clothing during healing and apply a 30 SPF sunscreen once the skin has sufficiently healed.

6. Stay Hydrated: 

  • Hydration plays a significant role in skin health. Drinking plenty of water supports your body’s natural healing processes and keeps your skin looking its best.

7. Healthy diet:

  • Yes, what you can actually impact how fast you can heal. Avoid inflammatory foods like processed snacks, sugary drinks, and too much dairy. Instead, load up on anti-inflammatory goods like fruits, veggies, and omega-3 rich foods.

8. Limit Physical Activity: 

  • To reduce sweating and irritation, it’s advisable to avoid vigorous exercise and heavy lifting for the early healing period. Keeping your heart rate down can prevent excess irritation to the tattooed area.

9. Resist the Urge to Scratch:

  • As the skin heals, it becomes itchy. But, scratching can disrupt the healing process and lead to complications like scabbing or infection. If itching occurs, consider using a gentle, hypoallergenic lotion to soothe the area.

10. Be Patient and Mindful:

  • Healing times can vary depending on individual skin types and the size of the treated area. Be patient and give your skin the time it needs to recover fully. Regularly check the area for any signs of unusual irritation or infection. Reach out to your technician if you have concerns.

The Inkless stretch mark treatment can be a transforming procedure for those looking to enhance their skin’s appearance. By using these essential tips for aftercare and healing, you can ease a smoother recovery process and achieve optimal results. Embrace your journey towards healthier skin. Don’t hesitate to consult your technician for personalized advice and support throughout your healing process. With the right care, you’ll soon enjoy the confidence that comes with beautifully camouflaged skin.

Stretch Marks: Red Vs. White.

The Differences Between White and Red Stretch Marks?

Scars that occur on the body are known as stretch marks.

They can affect both men and women. Women are more prone to them as a result of dermal ripping during hormonal changes.
This form of scaring is the result of rapid and excessive stretching of the skin. This stretching can be linked to body mass growth due to puberty and exercise. It can also be from weight gain, as seen during pregnancy. Stretch marks are common among teenagers because of these factors.

Did You Know!

Stretch marks impact 70 percent of women and 40 percent of men during their adolescence, according to research.

Human skin has three layers: the epidermis, the dermis, and the hypodermis.
Stretch marks develop on the dermis layer. This is the resilient middle layer that helps the skin keep its structure. When the layers of the dermis are torn or lose their elasticity, they can leave discoloured scars or stretch marks.

These marks can appear anywhere on the body. They are most commonly seen on the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, breasts, and upper arms. A large amount of fat is typically stored in these areas.

Additionally, the glucocorticoid hormone can cause stretch marks by damaging the epidermis. It also blocks fibroblast cells from producing collagen and elastin fibers. Both of these are necessary for the skin’s rapid growth. As the skin is stretched, it loses its ability to support itself, resulting in epidermal ripping.


What Are Red Stretch Marks?

These stretch marks start to show up on the skin when the skin is stressed out. This condition is medically known as Striae Rubra. People call them “purple marks” because they can turn a little red or purple. These marks will gradually fade to a light off-white or silvery colour, depending on the person’s skin type and colour.

Stretch marks that show as red or purple are typically less than a year old. In this case, the client would need to wait until the marks are more than 12 months old. Then they can get them camouflaged at Belle Ame Ink. For more information on hiding scars and stretch marks, visit our Camouflage page.

Red stretch marks are often raised like strips that are wrinkly and crinkly.   Some of the red marks turn brown or purple over time before finally fading away and becoming white stripes.  


What Are White Stretch Marks?

Stretch marks that are hypo- or lack pigmentation white or silver in colour. Some people refer to these scars as “matured stretch marks”. These are called Striae Distensae Alba in medical terminology.

The blood vessels eventually shrink, revealing only the fat beneath the skin, causing the red scars to fade to white. At this point, the collagen bundles and the elastin fibers that are too thin are mixing together. They can’t completely realign because there isn’t enough elastin production.  

The difference between red and white stretch marks and how to treat them  

The main distinction between red and white stretch marks is that red stretch marks are “young” or “immature”. White stretch marks are “old” or “mature”.

 

Stretch marks don’t have to stay on your skin for the rest of your life!

Red stretch marks should be left alone until they’re completely healed, at about a year old. Once the stretch marks are of age and have turned white, they can be treated with stretch mark camouflage.

Ink-less stretch mark camouflage is a permanent solution to stretch marks. By creating micro trauma and depositing a specific scar serum straight into the dermis of the stretch marks. You can use this method to make your skin more firm. This method works by increasing the production of collagen and elastin; helping the regrowth of skin.

At Belle Ame Ink, you can disguise your stretch marks. Allowing stretchmarks to limit your ability to live the life you deserve is a mistake. Skin should not be hidden. A long-term remedy that restores your sense of beauty is what you deserve!

Scars and Tattoos and other treatment options.

Is there a scar on your body that has you covering up at all times? Does it prevent you from wearing the clothes you want?

There are several options to reducing the appearance of your scars. These range from lotions and skin rejuvenation treatments to scar camouflage tattoo procedures. When you wound your skin, whether from surgery or trauma, the wounded area has to go through a healing process. Scarring is natural and a common side effect of the healing process.

Nonetheless scars, at times lower one’s self-esteem and confidence. Scars aren’t always a negative thing. This is particularly true if they’re little and in a place where they be hidden with ease. If it isn’t, there are a variety of approaches you use. You can cover it. You can make it disappear. You can change the way it looks.

The Various Types of Scars


To help you in deciding which procedure to choose, you must first understand the various kinds of scars.

Acne Scars

Caused by severe cases of acne. These scars have several appearances like deep pits, box edged or wavelike scars.


People with severe acne scars often conceal them with cosmetics, which aggravate the skin problem further.

Stretch Marks

Stretch marks when the skin expands or shrinks rapidly. This is common on the body of a mother after giving birth. For some, it emerges as a result of puberty.

Because stretch marks do not conform to the world’s ideal of beauty, most will end up trying to hide them.

Hypertrophic Scars

Scars that are hypertrophic are elevated, thick and red in hue. They are often caused by skin damage, surgical wounds, or burns. Over time, they flatten and fade.

Contracture Scars

Contracture scars occur when a big section of the skin is injured or lost, for example, from a burn. Contracture scars cause the skin to tighten, which restrict movement.

Keloid Scar

Keloids develop as a consequence of a overly aggressive healing process. A keloid is a raised scar that really has grown beyond the site of the first lesion.

The Treatment Options for Scars

1. Ointments prescribed by a doctor

Cuts and wounds leave behind scars that can be treated with these products. These products target the scar tissue and aid in the restoration of the skin’s natural appearance and texture.

Certain skin products include mild exfoliants that help remove dirt, oil, and dead skin cells. Scar ointments include ingredients that target the scar tissue. They aid in restoring the natural appearance and texture of the skin. Other components moisturize the skin cells and help scars go away.

2. Micro-needling

Micro-needling works by generating micro-trauma to the skin’s surface with the use of a derma roller or micro-needling pen. These treatments cause the skin to relax and help smooth out the texture of scars. The micro-trauma that is created in the skin boosts the body’s wound-healing response, making the scars texture more even. By it creating microscopic punctures in the epidermis, it encourages the formation of collagen and elastin. This promotes skin renewal in the long run.

3. Lasers

Lasers, like the other procedures described, have the potential to reduce the appearance of scars. Focused light therapy is used to promote the growth of new skin cells. It also eliminates the top layer of the skin’s surface. 

Laser scar treatment is used to smooth the skin’s surface, erase the scar’s aberrant colour, or flatten a raised scar. Keloids are treated using laser therapy in combination with other therapies. It normally takes multiple treatments, ranging from $3000 to $5000, to notice a significant difference.

Lasers also be used to diminish redness by targeting the blood vessels in scar tissue. Laser stretch mark removal stimulates the creation of new skin cells. It does this by directing focused beams of light onto the stretch marks.

4. Scar Revision Procedures

Scar modification techniques reduce the visibility of the scar and improve the appearance. Scar revision also helps repair a scar that hasn’t healed properly. It does not, though, totally remove it.

There are many scar revision techniques. They vary depending on the kind of scar. Severity of the scarring also affects the method. Ranging from simple topical treatments, minimally invasive medical procedures, and revision surgeries are all options for scar revision.

5. Scar Camouflage Tattoos

If you’re looking for a long-term solution for ridding your scars, the best choice is to have a tattoo. The tattoo will cover the scar. A scar tattoo is also known as a scar camouflage tattoo. It conceals a scar and makes it like natural skin.

Scar camouflage tattoos are a long-term remedy that involves tattooing a skin-color pigmentation directly into the scar. The idea is to make your scar “disappear.” This is done by combining specialized inks that match your skin tone. This way, it blends in with the rest of your skin.

Scar camouflage tattoos are a specialty that can only be performed by technicians that have been specifically trained. It is a non-invasive medical technique that involves a needle being inserted into the scar. The needle injects specialized pigments that is custom matched to your skin tone.

Our skin, by definition, does not have a solid colour. The skilled technician utilizes a method called pointillism and shading to generate the cosmetic hues of the skin. This method involves mixing and matching colours to create diversity on the skin. The goal is to conceal the scar.

Scar camouflage tattoos are only effective in concealing specific types of scars.

Before visiting a reputable tattoo studio, check the requirements:

Your scar has been there for at least two years;
There is no visible redness in the scar.
Your scar is paler/whiter in colour than the skin around it.
