WOLLONGONG SCAR NURSE
Scars & Stretch
Mark Camouflage
At Aesthetics By Kristen, we understand that scars and stretch marks often carry more than just a physical mark - they can affect how you feel in your own skin. Medical tattooing with Nue Conceal is an advanced, evidence-based treatment that helps blend, soften, and camouflage these concerns using innovative inkless and pigment techniques.
This treatment restores harmony to the skin’s surface, improves tone and texture, and helps you feel confident in your skin again.
What Is Medical Tattooing?
Medical tattooing (also known as paramedical tattooing or scar camouflage) uses precise tattooing techniques to improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and other skin irregularities.
At Aesthetics By Kristen, we use Nue Conceal — a medically formulated system developed specifically for skin revision and camouflage work. It allows us to treat a wide range of concerns safely and effectively, with results that look natural and seamless.
The Nue Conceal Difference
Nue Conceal is one of the world’s leading techniques for scar and stretch mark camouflage, offering two distinct approaches depending on your skin’s needs and goals:
Inkless Scar Revision
An advanced needling technique that uses a custom blend of serums instead of pigment.
This approach stimulates the body’s natural healing response to repair and remodel damaged skin, improve collagen production, and restore smoother texture and tone.
Perfect for those wanting:
Improved skin texture
Faded stretch marks or scars
Overall skin rejuvenation without pigment
Clients may see a 30% to 70% improvement per session. Amount of sessions vary from case to case & will be discussed during your initial appointment.
Pigment (Ink) Camouflage
For clients seeking a true colour camouflage, we use skin-toned pigments designed to blend the scar or stretch mark with the surrounding skin.
This treatment helps to visually disguise lighter or darker marks that have healed flat but remain visible due to colour contrast.
Results are natural, long-lasting, and tailored precisely to your skin tone.
During your consultation, we will discuss the best treatment plan to reach your goals.
Types of Scars We Work With
Surgical Scars
Whether from C-sections or other procedures, we camouflage incision lines to help your skin look more even and natural.
Raised or Hypertrophic Scars
Thick, elevated scars that form after healing. We use specialised techniques to visually smooth and blend them with your skin.
Stretch Marks (Striae)
Common after pregnancy, growth, or weight changes. Pigments are custom-matched to help fade and disguise visible lines.
Trauma or Injury Scars
Scars left from accidents, burns, or wounds can be softened and blended to reduce their appearance.
Acne Scars
Uneven texture or discolouration from acne can be improved, helping you achieve smoother, more balanced skin.
Pigmented Scars
Discolouration left after inflammation or injury can be corrected with colour-matched pigment for a more consistent tone.

-
Medical tattooing with Nue Conceal begins with a personalised consultation to assess your skin and determine the best approach. Inkless treatments stimulate natural healing and collagen production, while pigment treatments blend scars or stretch marks with your skin tone. Results develop gradually as the skin remodels over a few weeks.
-
Inkless treatments use a serum-based method to trigger the skin’s natural healing process, improving collagen production and texture without using pigment. Pigment treatments, on the other hand, use skin-toned inks to visually blend scars or stretch marks with the surrounding skin tone. The best option for you depends on your skin type and goals, which we’ll assess during your consultation.
-
I can treat most areas of the body, including the abdomen, thighs, arms, breasts, back, and face. It can improve the appearance of stretch marks, acne or injury scars, surgical scars, and areas of hypopigmentation.
-
Most clients find the treatment very comfortable. You may feel a mild scratching or pressure sensation, but it’s generally well-tolerated.
-
The number of sessions varies depending on your skin concern, depth of the scar or stretch mark, and how your skin heals. Most clients require between 2–4 sessions spaced 6-12 weeks apart to achieve optimal results.
-
Downtime is minimal. You may notice mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity for a few days as the skin begins to heal. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and achieve the best possible outcome.
-
Results are long-lasting. Inkless treatments stimulate permanent skin repair, while pigment camouflage results can last several years before a touch-up may be desired due to natural skin changes over time.
-
If you have healed scars, stretch marks, or areas of skin discolouration that you’d like to soften or blend, you may be a suitable candidate. During your consultation, Registered Nurse Kristen will assess your skin type, medical history, and treatment goals to ensure it’s safe and effective for you.
