Stretch marks can occur for a number of different reasons. It is simply a rapid growth in the body and the skin attempts to keep up. A stretch mark is essentially a scar that forms when the skin is stretched too quickly due to pregnancy, weight gain, or puberty. Stretch marks are just one of those things that seem to be a part of life.

But now, thanks to semipermanent makeup, they can be camouflaged! Beverly Hutchinson L.M.E. uses micropigmentation, similar to what is used for enhancing the lips or eyes, to match the skin tone where the stretch marks occur.

This is a great treatment for someone wanting to cover up stretch marks without having to have a surgical procedure. The treatment can be done in the office with little to no downtime. Once complete, the camouflage can last about two years depending on the individual’s exposure to sun, salt water, and products they use.
