Inkless Stretch Marks & Scar Revision Pre-Care & Aftercare

Inkless Scar & Stretch Mark Revisio Pre-Care & Aftercare

Inkless Scar & Stretch Mark Revision is a non-invasive skin-revision treatment designed to improve the appearance, texture, and overall tone of selected scars and stretch marks.

The treatment encourages the skin's natural repair and regeneration process. Results develop gradually as the skin heals and remodels.

Proper preparation and aftercare are essential for supporting healthy healing and achieving the best possible results.

INKLESS SCAR & STRETCH MARK REVISION AFTERCARE

Your skin has undergone a controlled skin-revision treatment and needs time to heal.

Immediately after treatment, the area may appear:

• Red or pink

• Slightly swollen

• Warm

• Sensitive

• Darker or more pronounced

• Tight or dry

These reactions can be temporary and may change throughout the healing process.

Do not judge your final results immediately after treatment.

FIRST 24–48 HOURS

DO:

Keep the treated area clean.

Follow the cleansing instructions provided at your appointment.

Apply only the recommended aftercare products.

Keep the area protected from friction and irritation.

Wear loose, breathable clothing when possible.

Use a cool compress if recommended for temporary discomfort.

Stay hydrated.

Allow the skin to rest and heal.

DO NOT:

Touch the treated area unnecessarily.

Pick, scratch, rub, or peel the skin.

Apply makeup or fragranced products to the treated area.

Use harsh soaps or exfoliating products.

Apply acids, retinoids, or other strong active ingredients.

Use scrubs or exfoliating gloves.

Soak the treated area.

Swim in pools, hot tubs, lakes, or oceans.

Use saunas or steam rooms.

Participate in activities that cause excessive sweating or friction.

DAYS 3–7

The skin may begin to dry, tighten, flake, or change colour.

You may notice that the treated scar or stretch mark temporarily appears darker or more noticeable.

This can be part of the normal healing process.

During this stage:

Continue following your recommended aftercare routine.

Keep the area moisturized with the approved product.

Allow any dry or flaky skin to shed naturally.

Do not pick or pull at the skin.

Avoid aggressive exfoliation.

Continue avoiding unnecessary sun exposure.

Never force the skin to peel.

DAYS 7–14

The surface of the skin should gradually become calmer and more comfortable.

The treatment area may still appear pink, darker, lighter, or slightly uneven.

This does not necessarily represent the final result.

Continue protecting the area and avoid aggressive treatments until the skin has completely recovered.

WEEKS 3–6

This is when the deeper skin-remodelling process continues.

The treated area may gradually begin to look:

• Smoother

• Softer

• More blended

• More even in tone

• Less noticeable

However, improvement develops gradually and varies from person to person.

Collagen remodeling takes time.

SUN PROTECTION

Sun protection is extremely important after skin-revision treatments.

Once the skin has healed sufficiently, protect the treatment area from excessive sun exposure and use broad-spectrum SPF on exposed areas as appropriate.

Sun exposure can contribute to unwanted pigmentation changes and may affect the appearance of healing skin.

Avoid tanning beds and intentional tanning.

BETWEEN TREATMENTS

Your skin needs time to heal and remodel before another treatment is performed.

Do not perform additional exfoliating or resurfacing treatments on the area without professional guidance.

Do not pick or manipulate the treated skin.

Maintain a consistent skincare and moisturizing routine once the area is fully healed.

Protect the area from excessive sun exposure.

Attend follow-up appointments as recommended.

Your treatment plan will be customized based on the type, age, location, colour, texture, and severity of the scar or stretch marks.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Inkless Scar & Stretch Mark Revision is intended to improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks. It does not guarantee complete removal.

The degree of improvement varies depending on:

Age and maturity of the scar or stretch mark

Depth and texture

Colour and pigmentation

Skin type

Location of the treatment area

Individual healing response

Lifestyle

Aftercare compliance

Number of treatments

Some clients may see noticeable improvement after one treatment, while others may require a series of treatments to achieve their desired level of improvement.

The goal is progressive improvement, not overnight removal.

YOUR NEXT SESSION

A follow-up treatment should only be performed once the skin has adequately healed.

At your follow-up, we will assess:

• Skin healing

• Texture

• Colour changes

• Overall improvement

• Remaining scar or stretch-mark characteristics

• Whether another treatment is appropriate

Treatment intervals will be determined based on your individual healing response and treatment area.

IMPORTANT

Every person's skin responds differently.

Temporary redness, swelling, sensitivity, dryness, flaking, and changes in pigmentation may occur following treatment.

If you experience severe pain, blistering, significant swelling, pus, spreading redness, signs of infection, or another concerning reaction , contact Aniekanvas Aesthetics promptly and seek appropriate medical attention when necessary.

Do not pick, scratch, or attempt to aggressively treat the area yourself.

Healthy healing is the priority. The visible improvement comes with time.
