Welcome to Scar Treatment Perth

Please see below for a range of commonly asked questions. If you don’t see your query below, just send us an email to info@scartreatmentperth.com

1. HOW DO I START MY SKIN HEALING JOURNEY?

Have you got a skin, scar or stretchmark concern and you want to know how to treat it, how much it will cost you and what is involved?

At Scar Treatment Perth Marnie doesn't have a 'set price’- as each persons’ skin and individual needs vary. She will custom create your very own skin plan.

You start with a consultation with Marnie as she needs to see your skin in person to see the texture and work out the best treatment plan and pricing for your needs. Everyone's needs are so individual and different... so there is no 'set price' for this reason.

WHY WE WON’T QUOTE VIA MESSAGES

Marnie needs to see your skin in person to assess skin health, texture and integrity. Much like a dermatologist won’t assess or prescribe for your skin via pictures and messages.

"When you sit with me, you’re not just booking a consultation - you’re stepping into a safe space where your skin, your history and your hopes are seen and heard.

Hi! I’m Marnie - Founding Master Trainer, Master Artist and a woman who has spent decades helping people heal inside and out.

I’ll look at your skin in person, feel its texture and listen to your journey so we can design a treatment plan that’s truly yours - no cookie-cutter pricing, no guesswork, no over-quoting.

Because every scar deserves respect. And every person deserves the right to heal with dignity.

Ask me about our Pay It Forward Program - healing shouldn't be a luxury, it should be possible for everyone."

2. SKIN TONES - DO WE TREAT LIGHT TO DARK SKIN TONES?

All skin tones, colours/shades and types are treatable and welcome at Scar Treatment Perth.

Every skin colour / skin tone can have their scars and stretch-marks successfully treated.

It doesn’t matter if the marks or scars are brand new or really old.

Our treatments are ALWAYS customised to each person - stretch marks, self-harm scars, surgery scars, injury scars, burns and acne scars are some of the most common treatments Marnie and the team perform. However, if you have other concerns, reach out - as Marnie is a qualified skin therapist of 23yrs with medical tattooing experience of 10 years.

3. HOW DO I SELECT THE RIGHT PARAMEDICAL / CAMOUFLAGE TATTOO ARTIST FOR MY NEEDS?

Have you ever wondered what you should be looking out for when selecting the right tattoo artist for your skins needs?

Maybe this will help you understand why we are in such high demand when it comes to treating so many beautiful clients

Paramedical tattooing should be performed by trained and certified tattoo artists who have specialised experience in this field.

It’s ok to ask someone where and when they got their training and can you see proof of that training … these questions are ok to ask!

When looking for an artist, it is crucial to make sure that they have the appropriate training, as well as images of their work and testimonials.

This treatment is a PROCESS and not an overnight treatment-

WHY CHOOSE US?

Personally, I have been performing LED and INKLESS skin healing treatments since 2014.

I am a skin and beauty therapist with 24 years experience.

I’m a self confessed ‘SKIN -NERD’ and absolutely LOVE healing skin affected by acne, pigmentation, scars, stretchmarks and anything in between.

I have also been training many wonderful people in these skills across Australia since 2020.

If someone tells you that they can CAMOUFLAGE everything - then that should be your first red flag! We can work our magic BUT we are not magicians … some things we simply cannot treat, won’t treat and SHOULD NOT treat and we WILL be upfront about this with you.

Second red flag, telling you it can be done in only one or 2 sessions

We CANNOT rush skin and the skins ability to heal its damaged self.

Some will try to rush the process - don’t let them!

This treatment is a PROCESS - not an overnight treatment - it requires PATIENCE, commitment and a realistic expectation.

We are definitely NOT the place to come to if you want a ‘quick fix’.

We cannot give you back your pre-incident skin (pre-stretch mark or pre-scar) but we can certainly improve the damaged skin anywhere from 20% to 80%+

Trust The Process - Be Patient

4. WHY MARNIE BROUGHT LED LIGHT THERAPY INTO THE INDUSTRY and TRAINS ALL HER STUDENTS WITH LED

Marnie brought LED preparation protocols into the industry as Skin Preparation for our Inkless, Scar and Stretch Mark Camouflage treatments and is highly recommended for maximum effectiveness.

We are dealing with , so we need to do our best to strengthen it to promote faster healing and faster recovery.

I will ALWAYS make sure we give your skin the proper treatment it deserves!

  • Backed by science and studies... even NASA uses LED for their astronauts
  • NO damaging UV, nothing ‘cancer-causing’
  • Different colours for different effects
  • Relaxing 30 minute appointments per area
  • Great for mental health as well!
  • Get the winter blues? LED is proven to improve mental health

Our signature treatments are known for healing and repairing all sizes and all types of stretch marks, scars and pigmentation concerns.

Whether they are:
surgical or injury scars
skin grafts and burns
hypo-pigmentation
all types of pigmentation and melasma

All skin tones welcome

5. WHY DOES IT TAKE MULTIPLE SESSIONS- TO TREAT SCARS AND STRETCH MARKS?

Marnie says:

I completely understand that you might be feeling a sense of impatience and worry about choosing and treating your skin concerns.
It’s natural to want quick results, especially when you’re eager to feel better in your skin and when you have FINALLY found someone to help!

However, real lasting skin transformation doesn’t happen overnight.
When it comes to healing and transforming your skin, it’s important to remember that real, lasting change takes time.

Our skin cells need a minimum of 30 days—and sometimes even up to 50+ days—to fully renew themselves. This process is essential for achieving the beautiful results you desire.

I know it can be frustrating to wait, but rushing the process often means sacrificing true, long-lasting healing. It’s like planting a seed: it needs time to grow and flourish.
Each session is part of a journey, allowing your skin to communicate and repair itself effectively.

True healing and long-term results take time and that’s EXACTLY what I’m here for. True results.”

6. WHAT IS MY ‘PAY IT FORWARD' PROGRAM

I am VERY proud to offer my “Pay it Forward” program (PIF).
My passion and a strong desire in helping those heal from traumatic reminders when all you want to do is move forward - you won’t pay full price- you’ll be gifted up to 60%+ off… and this amount then goes back in the ‘PIF kitty’ so that I can keep paying it forward for others to move on.

This is a program I do personally, it is not a ‘business’ thing, so any costs go back in towards covering some costs and I will absorb the rest. The PIF program can treat anyone with:

💫Cancer Scars
💫Radiation Markers
💫 Self-Harm Scars
💫Traumatic Injury Scars
💫Transition Scars
💫DV scars

❣️For the client who is sick and tired of the blue radiation marker tattoo they have been left with after kicking cancers butt – we can turn it into a freckle.

❣️For the client who has self-harm scars reminding them of a difficult period in their life they’re ready to let go of.

❣️For the client who has major scarring after surgery, making them self-conscious and holding them back from full mental recovery.

❣️For the client who has deep acne scarring and dreams of softer, smoother skin.

❣️For the client who got a body art tattoo lasered off, and the tech burnt their skin.

❣️For the client who is tired of the radiation burn they have been left with.

7. WHEN CAN YOU TREAT MY SCARS?

💫IMMEDIATELY for post surgical scars and OLDER post surgical scars 💫

Did surgery leave scars of varying colours and texture?

A lot of people are self conscious about surgical scars, and rightfully so.
We know we will get them, but this doesn’t mean we automatically like them!

💥 We also offer a ‘PRE SURGERY PREPARATION’ program if you are considering surgery.

Are the scars
👉🏼hyper- pigmented (brown scarring)?
👉🏼hypo - pigmented (white scarring not matching your skin colour)?
👉🏼purple / pink / red / blue scarring?
👉🏼is it knotty, lumpy and tight in areas?

What is best for the scars will be determined and discussed in consultation and your very own skin plan will be put together.

Scar Treatment Perth’s ‘Scar Healing’ treatment protocol helps with ALL of the colour varieties, on ALL of the skin tones out there!

DARKER SCARS: Scar neutralisation is a procedure that takes multiple sessions to lift the darkness from a scar.
The sooner you start scar treatment after your surgery, the better.

However, they CAN help with old scars too!

’Scar Healing’ treatment protocol can be used on a variety of areas of the body including any scars on the body and face, Self harm scars, surgical / injury scars/ skin grafts to even out the skin colouration to make the scars less visible.

8. ARE MY STRETCHMARKS OR SCARS TOO SEVERE FOR TREATMENT?

No, not at all!
No stretch mark or scar will be too severe for help. It may take longer to heal and strengthen, but totally workable. Please don’t think it’s beyond help. No need for discomfort either as I’m a safe, non judgmental space.
I help to heal and repair ALL kinds of stretch-marks and scars.

Medical tattooing is a treatment for both men and women with 2 techniques to choose from:

  1. INKLESS treatment: NO skin tone pigment is used. I use a specially formulated serum to nourish and feed the skin cells as we work. INKLESS provides amazing results and assists the skin in colour correcting itself… Yes, you read that correctly! It is especially beneficial when there is texture to the scars and stretch marks. Inkless is permanent and does not require touchups.
  2. Skin tone pigment TATTOO / camouflage tattoo offers an amazing colour correction where micro-pigmentation techniques deposits (colour matched) skin tone pigment into the area, blending it with your natural skin tone so the scar/mark is no longer obvious.. kind of like a semi permanent concealer.

Using specialised techniques in micro-needling and micro-pigmentation, we heal or camouflage these scars and stretch marks.

These 2 treatments can be used on a variety of areas of the body including stretch marks, scars on the body and face, self inflected scars, surgical and injury scars to heal this damaged skin and even out your skin colouration to make the scars and stretch marks far less visible.

Paramedical tattooing, also known as Medical Tattoo, Stretch mark camouflage, Scar Camouflage and Inkless means different things to different people, but in its core it’s all about healing…
Healing emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically.

It’s time for you to finally enjoy the skin you’re in, stop hiding your body, be more confident, wear the clothes you really want with our marks and scar healing treatments.

Heal those scars and stretch marks, I promise you, it really will change your life.

9. DO YOU TREAT ACNE SCARS?

Struggling with acne and the scars it leaves behind can feel like an endless, agonising battle.

You’ve tried everything, yet every morning you wake up hoping today will be different, only to face the same stubborn marks in the mirror.

I understand the frustration, the feeling of hiding behind makeup or avoiding social situations because of how your skin makes you feel.
I know. I lived it myself. It was my own ‘bad’ scarred and breakout skin that led me into this industry in the first place.
I couldn’t stand the idea of being a ‘pizza face’ for the rest of my life!

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Imagine a future where you wake up with clear, radiant skin .No more hiding, no more embarrassment, just confidence and the freedom to be yourself.

Discover how we can support you in reclaiming your confidence and loving your reflection again.

You’re not alone in this fight, and together, we can win.

10. MY THIGH AND ARM LIFT LEFT ME WITH SCARS – WHAT DO I DO?

Did your thigh lift leave you with a scar of varying colours and texture?

👉🏼hyper- pigmented (darker scarring)?
👉🏼hypo - pigmented (white scarring not matching your skin colour)
👉🏼purple / pink / blue scarring?
👉🏼Is it knotty, lumpy and tight in areas?

Our ‘Signature Scar Treatment’ helps with all these AND the overall texture of your scar.

We help heal your scars, drawing out the colour, making them smoother and flatter and as we watch these changes happen you will see your skin naturally COLOUR CORRECT ITSELF!
Meaning all natural, permanent results.

Helping to repair and heal all types of scars and stretch marks, people’s most purest vulnerabilities.. this.. this is what makes my heart sing and I am so proud to be working and training others in this amazing industry.

If you’re thinking of surgery and researching about the inevitable scars that come with it then I highly recommend you complete our ‘Pre Surgery Preparation’ program, the longer we can do this before your surgery the better. BUT even if your surgery is next week - call me now and we can still help!

11. DO YOU TREAT BUG BITES and CHILDHOOD SCARS?

Working to lighten and heal these marks will help release dark pigmentation, blending the scar tissue into the healthy skin and make a mark less noticeable.

Our treatment plans offer a great solution for clients looking to fade out hyper-pigmented marks. There is a few options for us to work with depending on whether they are light or dark marks.
Blending other treatment options with my beloved LED technology and Inkless technique offers amazing results.

What is best for your scars will be determined and discussed in consultation and your very own Camouflage Skin plan will be put together.

Healing time varies from client to client.
If they are white, dark, pigmented, new, old, raised, wide, long, however they look and whatever location on the body - we can help.

12. CAN YOU HELP HEAL BURN SCARS AND SKIN GRAFTS?

When it comes to burn scars and skin grafts, few places can offer any solutions to these complex conditions.

It’s not just about offering ‘another’ questionable service—it’s about delivering the right treatments with advanced technology, understanding, empathy and results.

Our Master Skin Therapist has spent years perfecting the art of combining Inkless Micro-needling and Medical-Grade LED Therapy to help heal scarred and grafted skin in a way that few others can.
In fact, Marnie has 24yrs skin experience with 10yrs Paramedical ink-less and has been working very hard to get the Paramedical industry (GLOBALLY) to introduce and use effective LED technology along side.

💡… unlike many at-home LEDs, our medical-grade LED machines target the deeper layers of the skin, delivering clinically proven wavelengths that promote true regeneration.
Many at-home devices (whilst better than nothing) simply don’t have the power to make REAL effective changes.

🪡 Ink-less Micro-needling goes beyond surface-level treatments, triggering your skin’s healing process at the cellular level, without adding pigment.
The goal?
Smoother, softer, more uniform skin over time.

We know the journey to healing these scars isn’t quick—it should NEVER be a ‘one and done’ treatment.
Results come to those who commit to the process.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all treatment; it’s carefully tailored to the individual needs of each client.

If you’ve struggled to find the right place to treat burn scars or grafts, look no further.
We offer one of the few truly specialised approaches available, designed with precision, care, and long-term results in mind.

Only ever allow experienced skin experts to plan and perform these treatments to minimise adverse effects, individual results will always vary.
Consultations should be in person, not through photographs so the skins true health and texture can be accurately assessed.

13. DO WE NUMB YOUR SKIN?

WE DO NOT NUMB YOUR SKIN!
Numbing is not required and in fact is best not to be used at all. Numbing will restrict the blood flow to the treatment area and your camouflage artist needs to have this blood flow so that they can gauge the depth of their needle appropriately.

Also, most treatment area sizes are too large for the amount of numbing required - which in turn can have a toxic ‘overdose’ to the client - including heart palpitations, tears and a sense of dread.

It is nowhere near as painful as something like eyebrow tattooing or body ink tattoos. It is advised for women, when possible, to have their camouflage / inkless sessions when they are not due for their monthly cycle - everything is much more sensitive at that time of month. Every treatment is tolerable, even for the most sensitive!

The moment you notice stretch marks appearing—whether from pregnancy, weight changes, or muscle growth—it’s your body signalling for care. And the good news? You don’t have to wait.

With Marnie’s advanced treatment techniques, you can take action almost immediately, giving your skin the best chance to heal beautifully.
Stretch marks are easier to treat when they’re fresh, and the sooner we start, the more effective the results.

No matter how long you’ve had your stretch marks—whether they’re fresh or have been there for years—you can take action. It doesn’t matter how severe or how subtle they are; your skin has the power to transform.

With Marnie’s expert camouflage and inkless treatment techniques, we can help blend, smooth, and rejuvenate your skin, giving you results that feel as good as they look. Your confidence is worth it, and your skin deserves the care it needs.

Your skin deserves attention and you deserve to feel confident. Reach out today—Marnie and team are here to help you every step of the way.

14. How many sessions will I need?

This varies for each person and will also vary if treating acne / acne scars on various area/s of the same body.
Most clients require a series of treatments combined with their correct home care for best results.
Marnie will always focus with respect on the skin, never rushing or pushing it’s limit.
She places a high priority on supporting her clients through the emotional side of treatment as well in her non-judgmental, safe space.

15. Do you treat body acne?

Yes absolutely. Back, chest and shoulder acne can be treated with a tailored plan suited to the different body skin and different oil activity.

16. Is laser better for acne or acne scars?

No, not always. Laser can be helpful in some cases, however many clients benefit from non-laser repair and regenerative approaches that support the ‘traumatised’ skin more gently.

17. How do I know if you are the right practitioner for me?

You should feel heard, understood and guided. A proper in-person consultation will help determine if their personality and approach is aligned with you, your skin and goals. If they respect your skins journey along with YOU. You should never feel pushed nor harsh treatments being rushed.

18. Will my acne come back after treatment?

When the skin is properly supported and maintained, breakouts are far less likely to return. When the skin is functioning at it’s healthiest and strongest it becomes more resilient.
Marnie works on giving you individual, skin appropriate ‘tips and tricks’ on how to continually care for your skin, to work out any ‘triggers’ and what to do when you feel a breakout may occur.

19. Is acne treatment painful?

Treatments are designed to be manageable and respectful to the skin and your ‘pain’ tolerance.
Occasional treatments may be uncomfortable but should be bearable. Your comfort is always considered.

20. How do I get started? Why Marnie will only consult In-Person

You will begin with an in-person consultation where your skin is assessed and a personalised plan is created.

Your skin is far too complex to be assessed through photographs.
Just as dermatologists and other specialists do not diagnose or give treatment costs over
messages, Marnie believes professional skin assessments must be performed face-to-face.

Why?

Marnie has a few reasons - but mostly, she wants to get Photos cannot reveal texture, density or underlying concerns that may affect your results nor can they replace the expertise of a trained eye and hands-on evaluation.

By meeting in person, it ensures a precise, safe and personalised treatment plan that supports not
only your skin but your emotional side and your long-term confidence and results.

invited to reach out.
You may be closer to feeling like yourself again than you think.

21. Can Acne Scars Actually Be Improved?

If you are searching for Acne Scar Treatment Perth, chances are acne itself may no longer
be your biggest frustration.
For many people, the acne itself has gone...
But the skin is left carrying the reminder long after the breakouts stop.
The good news is this:
Acne scars can often improve significantly.
But understanding what type of acne scarring exists is where proper treatment begins.

Can acne scars be permanently removed?
This is one of the most common questions people ask.
The honest answer is no.
No ethical practitioner should promise complete scar removal.
But acne scarring can often be improved by helping the skin rebuild healthier collagen over
time.
The goal is usually improving:

  • Skin texture
  • Depth irregularities
  • Uneven surface changes
  • Pigmentation left behind after breakouts
  • Overall smoothness of the skin

Improvement takes time.
But skin can absolutely change.

22. Why do acne scars happen in the first place?

Acne scars form when inflammation damages deeper structures within the skin.
This often happens when breakouts become:

  • Deep
  • Inflamed
  • Repetitive
  • Left untreated too long
  • Picked or squeezed repeatedly
  • Become infected, usually from excessive picking
  • Picking with dirty fingers leading to infection
  • Sun exposure to the acne spots creating pigmentation
  • Blue Light from computer screens

The more inflammation present...

Often, the higher the chance scar tissue begins forming underneath.
Early acne management matters more than most people realise.

23. Can acne scar treatment be done without lasers?

Yes.
And this surprises many people.
Laser is not the only option.
Sometimes overly aggressive heat-based treatments can create additional inflammation in
already compromised skin, especially on darker tones.
The focus should always be helping skin repair itself: safely, gently and 
Not simply attacking the skin aggressively.
Healthy skin heals better skin. Low, slow and gentle treatments heal skin more fully, deeply
and thoroughly.

24. Why do some acne scars seem impossible to improve?

Not all acne scars are the same.
Some scars sit deeper than others.
Common acne scar types include:

  • Rolling scars
  • Boxcar scars
  • Ice pick scars
  • Surface textural irregularities
  • Post inflammatory pigmentation ('PIH')

Different scar types require very different approaches.

This is why in - person assessment with experienced skin practitioners matters so much.

25. Why do I approach acne scars differently?

Because scar tissue is traumatised skin.
And traumatised skin deserves respect.
After 25 years in skin and over a decade working specifically in scar revision, one thing has
become very clear.
The skin often responds better when we focus on healing first.
Not aggression first.
Because long term skin health will always matter more than chasing fast cosmetic results.
