What is ISR
ISR is a non-invasion cosmetic treatment that helps repair itself using a blend of vitamins and serums inserted just under the skin using tiny needles. Its like a gentle tattoo or micro-needling procedure without the use of ink.
The procedure does not require numbing agent, the pain sensation is relative to each person's tolerance threshold; however most clients describe it as “not” painful at all. It is similar to a Permanent Makeup treatment and less painful than a regular tattoo.

Differences
Another method of camouflaging scars and stretch marks is used with ink. The artist will match your skin and tattoo ink to camouflage. This procedure differs from ISR because it disguises the scars where
ISR repairs them. ISR is an entirely DIFFERENT method. In place of ink, ISR deposits vitamin rich serum into the skin allowing the skin to repair itself at a faster rate. -
How it works
During the procedure a serum is inserted into the skin with small needles. This process causes the skin “trauma” which the body naturally heals. Since the vitamin rich serum is inserted during the procedure, this process increases healing by producing collagen production along with elastin. The skin will regenerated and improve skin tone decreasing stretch marks or scars.

Results
Results are dependent upon each individuals skin type and severity of marks. Typically clients have seen 20%-50% reduction in the appreacnce after just one treatment. Some people need up to 4 treatments
-
What to expect
Immediately after treatment the area will be red and a little swollen. It will feel similar to a sun burn. After a week or two the area will settle as it heals. Full results for each treatment will typically take between 40 and 60 days

Why it works
Unlike other treatments on the market. ISR is done in a unique way. It’s a holistic treatment that is considered one of the safest procedures available. Since the serum is deposited during the procedure the healing process starts immediately. This method improves skin texture, elastin, and collagen. With permanent results.
