Stretch marks · Skin of colour
Stretch mark camouflage on medium and deep skin
The paler the stretch mark against your skin, the more it shows. On deeper skin tones that contrast can be strong, and colour matching has to be precise.
Many of my stretch mark clients have olive, brown or deep skin. They often tell me their stretch marks look "bright" against their skin. That is contrast, and contrast is exactly what camouflage works on.
Why deeper skin needs a careful formula
Deeper skin tones carry rich and varied undertones: warm, red, golden, olive, neutral. A formula that is a little too light or too ashy stands out quickly. I mix pigment for your skin, adjusting the undertone as much as the depth, and test it on you before treatment.

Skin that changes across the body
The hips, thighs and abdomen can be different shades on the same person. Large stretch mark areas often need more than one formula, adjusted section by section.
Real results and real moments
Darker marks and uneven tone
Some people develop marks or patches that are darker than the surrounding skin. These are not treated with pigment the same way, because adding colour can make a dark mark more visible. They are assessed individually. See hyperpigmentation and stains.

Healing on deeper skin
Healing can look darker or uneven at first before it settles. Follow aftercare closely and keep the area out of the sun. If you know your skin tends to darken after irritation, tell me at the consultation so we can plan conservatively.
