Medical Tattooing

 How Medical Tattooing Can Restore Your Confidence

Medical tattooing is a cosmetic procedure used to change the pigment of an affected area of skin. It can be used in multiple ways: to conceal scarring, mask hair loss and thinning on the scalp, and re-create the appearance of hair for people with total hair loss due to various conditions. During breast reconstruction after mastectomy, or breast reduction surgery, tattooing is sometimes used to replace the areola which has been removed during mastectomy. Having aesthetic areola re-pigmentation after finishing the breast reconstruction journey can be liberating for many women. At Adorn Cosmetic, we strive to help people feel more comfortable in their skin with permanent makeup. Our expert makeup artists can construct or reconstruct realistic features for you using the latest medical tattoing techniques.

CORRECTIVE MICROPIGMENTATION

There are many situations in which permanent makeup tattoos can be beneficial, for men and women alike. These are just some of the conditions that Adorn Cosmetic can help clients with.

  • Chemotherapy: Sufferers of breast cancer or other cancers may find their hair loss from chemo includes eyebrows and/or eyelashes, as well as their scalp. Until regrowth occurs, cosmetic tattooing can restore the appearance of hair.

  • Alopecia: Those dealing with general hair loss can enjoy the look of hair thanks to our micro pigmentation techniques.

  • Eczema/psoriasis: If a client has suffered hair loss on skin formerly affected by these conditions, our subdermal pigmentation can offer an alternative.

  • Trichotillomania: Clients who struggle with the compulsion to pull out their own hair can benefit from paramedical tattooing to give their eyebrows and eyelashes texture that can’t be pulled out.

  • Vision or mobility issues: Clients who have visual impairments, muscle spasms, or other issues impeding their ability to apply makeup have found brow and liner tattoo can help alleviate the daily frustration associated with applying makeup.

  • Cleft lip scarring: After surgical reconstruction of cleft lips or other similar forms of surgery, scarring can linger. Medical tattooing can improve the appearance of scars.

HOW LONG DOES MEDICAL TATTOOING LAST?

There are many types of medical tattooing, and different parts of the body that they can be applied to, so it is difficult to give a definitive answer. Nipple and areola tattoos may last longer than scar camouflage, for example. Aftercare in the immediate days following the tattoo’s application is also critical in establishing its longevity. Applying protective cream after each session, as well as protecting the area concerned from external irritants such as other cosmetics, sun, or water, will encourage your skin to heal faster and prolong the life of the tattoo. With the correct care, a medical tattoo can last between 3 and 5 years.

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR SCAR CAMOUFLAGE?

The scar camouflage technique can help to camouflage scars, burns, birthmarks and other skin imperfections resulting from surgeries and injuries. If you have experienced an injury that has left you with an unsightly scar, you would be an ideal candidate for this procedure. Patients with Vitiligo, a disease that causes loss of skin color in patches, are also ideal candidates.
