Common Applications of Paramedical Tattooing
Scar Camouflage: Reduces visibility of scars with pigments that match the skin tones surrounding a scar.
Areola Repigmentation: This procedure reconstructs the areolas by tatooing the pigment and textural similarities with the help of shading that give it a three dimensional look.
Scalp Micropigmentation: Non-surgical method which solves reduces the visibility of hair loss and baldness for men and women alike. The pigment imitates hair follicles. Works quickly to decrease the appearance of hair loss.
Vitiligo Camouflage: We can help recreate the color of your affected areas to be in harmony with the rest of the skin.
Scar Camouflage
Medical tattooing for scar camouflage uses flesh-toned pigments to obscure scars and discolored areas, as part of both permanent cosmetics and paramedical tattooing. Also called Corrective Pigment Camouflage or Skin Repigmentation, this delicate procedure demands practitioners well-versed in pigment science and skin physiology.
Suitable candidates have mature, flat scars without dark, hyper-pigmented edges, which helps ensure effective camouflage without worsening the scar’s appearance. However, the process does not perfectly replicate unscarred skin; it primarily reduces the scar’s visual impact to improve aesthetic uniformity. This complex task requires advanced color-matching skills, artistic sensibility, and realistic patient expectations about the nuanced results.
Vitiligo
Medical tattooing offers significant relief for vitiligo sufferers, a condition that causes pigment loss in skin, hair, and mucosal areas. Vitiligo, a non-contagious and non-life-threatening condition, varies from localized patches to almost complete depigmentation in rare, universal cases.
Our experienced practitioners are experts at mixing the appropriate pigments for a natural look. This practical treatment causes little discomfort. It helps even out skin tone and improves a person’s self-esteem and life expectancy.
Cleft Lip
Medical tattooing is a post-surgical treatment for cleft lip, a malformation caused by the incomplete fusion of facial tissues in pregnancy. Cleft lip severity ranges from a separation to a cleft into the nostril, requiring surgeries. Post-surgical micropigmentation enhances cosmetic outcomes.
The technique restores lip symmetry and definition, challenging with scarring and contours. Tattooists match pigments to lip color, camouflaging disparities, redefining the vermilion border, and recreating the Cupid’s bow for balance. The procedure improves aesthetics and psychological well-being of patients.
Hair And Scalp
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP), known as Hair Follicle Replication, offers a solution for hair thinning and scalp issues. The technique increases hair density, covers transplant scars, and restores hairlines, including crafting widow’s peaks and soft hairlines. Pigments for scalp use match hair color, yielding three-dimensional results.
SMP uses precise, non-rotary tattooing equipment for scalp treatments, enhancing the results. This method increases hair fullness, boosts confidence, and rejuvenates the appearance of those with hair loss and scalp scars. This incredible service is now being offered to our customers in Nashville and Murfreesboro TN!
Aerola
Medical tattooing for areola repigmentation is crucial for the physical and emotional recovery after breast surgery. Known as Areola Tattooing or Micropigmentation, this procedure recreates or enhances the areola’s appearance following breast reconstructions, like post-mastectomy or lumpectomy. Skilled practitioners simulate the areola’s natural color and shape, minimizing scar visibility and restoring a natural breast appearance.
The process requires detailed color matching and may include creating a three-dimensional nipple with advanced shading for lifelike results. Taking one to four hours based on complexity, areola tattooing enhances physical aesthetics and boosts survivors’ self-esteem, offering a sense of wholeness and normalcy.
The Procedure: What to Expect
Consultation and Planning: It all starts with a professional consultation to assess needs and expectations. Every person’s situation is a little different, so planning is important.
The Tattooing Process involves systematically applying pigments using specific tools and equipment, depending on the size and complexity of the affected area.
Aftercare and Healing: Post-procedure, we will provide you with aftercare instructions for ointments, bandaging, and bathing to ensure healing and pigment retention. Surface healing occurs within two to three weeks, though complete healing takes longer. We also advise on managing side effects like redness, swelling, and potential infection to ensure a smooth recovery.
Risks and Limitations
Paramedical tattooing is generally safe, yet complications can occur, including reactions to pigments, infections from improper aftercare, or touch-ups if results fade. Understanding these risks is crucial for informed decision-making.
Limitations of the Procedure: Paramedical tattooing isn’t for everyone. Suitability varies based on skin type, treatment area, and overall health. Individuals with skin diseases or unstable vitiligo might need to delay treatment.
