As the days get shorter and the chill sets in, many of us start dreaming of those long, sunny New Zealand summer days. Now might seem like a time to hibernate, it's actually the absolute best time to embark on your scar & stretch mark camouflage and revision journey.
Why? Because by starting now, you'll be perfectly healed and flaunting your confident, revitalised skin just in time for summer!

The Winter Advantage: Optimal Healing Conditions - Get Summer Ready
Scar & stretch mark camouflage and revision treatments, whether it's our specialised Inkless Tattooing for stretch marks and scars or pigment camouflage for hypopigmentation, involve a healing process. This is where winter truly shines:
Reduced Sun Exposure: This is the biggest benefit! Post-treatment skin is sensitive to UV rays, which can hinder healing and even cause hyperpigmentation or fading of your new camouflage. Winter's shorter daylight hours and cooler temperatures naturally minimise your sun exposure, allowing your skin to heal safely and effectively. You can wear more protective clothing without feeling overheated, making aftercare a breeze.
Less Sweating & Irritation: Warmer weather and increased activity can lead to sweating, which can irritate newly treated skin and potentially affect pigment retention. Winter's cooler climate provides an ideal environment for your skin to recover without these concerns.
Ideal for Multiple Sessions: Many stretch mark and scar treatments, require multiple sessions spaced a 3-4 weeks apart to build optimal results. Starting in winter gives you ample time to complete your full treatment course and allow for complete healing before swimsuit season arrives.
Focus on Recovery: With fewer outdoor distractions and social events, winter offers the perfect opportunity to dedicate yourself to your aftercare routine. This diligent care is crucial for achieving the best possible outcome from your treatments.
Maximising Your Results with Our Advanced Techniques
At Inkworks Studio, we're dedicated to delivering exceptional results. This includes utilising advanced techniques and products to support your healing journey:
LED Skin Preparation: We're at the forefront of incorporating LED light therapy, like the powerful Celluma PRO, into our scar & stretch mark camouflage treatments. Red and infrared LED light stimulates collagen, reduces inflammation, and speeds up healing, actively preparing your damaged skin for optimal results. It's a non-invasive way to "wake up" your skin cells, softening scars and stretch marks for a more refined appearance even before the camouflage begins.
Specialised Serums: Our treatments are further enhanced by surgical-grade serums packed with beneficial ingredients like peptides, vitamins, and minerals that promote healing, hydration, and skin regeneration.
Imagine This: Summer Confidence Awaits!
Think about shedding those layers next summer, ready to embrace the beach or your favourite outdoor activities without a second thought. By taking advantage of the cooler months, you're not just getting a treatment; you're investing in your confidence and ensuring your skin is looking its absolute best when summer finally arrives.
Don't wait until spring to start thinking about your skin. Book your consultation with Inkworks Studio today and let us help you achieve flawless, summer-ready skin!
