Hello Interloper!

There isn’t the same emotional attachment to stretch marks as there is to a scar one thinks unsightly.
It takes some doing to mentally revisit a scar and hope to improve it, especially if it was a traumatic experience.
This is why on my website I have chosen to show the immediately after treatment photos, so clients know exactly what to expect.
I believe bodies have painful memories, and I see my clients, just before I start treatment, suddenly remembering that it hurt to create, surely it’ll hurt to treat… forgetting that they’ve had numbing cream on the area for at least 30 minutes.
How much a scar improves is very individual, and results can’t be promised, but we’re giving the body a chance to re-heal in a more controlled manner, rather than the rush of scar tissue that formed when the wound was healing.
The emotion my clients generally feel is excitement, that they’re doing something that makes sense.
Scar tissue is stuck; we’re gently and precisely waking it up so it can heal again
Results don’t happen overnight, you’ll see I add dates to my photos, and one of the reasons I’ll be adding more and more photos to my website is so viewers can see there are no standardised before and after photos.
There is nothing to judge your result against, only seeing each person’s scar improving.
I recommend 3 dry tattooing treatments, and then leave the area to settle and develop for about 4 months before considering having any more.
Some clients book these treatments regularly; others wait to see a development before returning. I’m of the view the 3 sessions of regular stimulation will work best, as ultimately we want to stimulate the skin so it can re-heal.
