FAQ'S
Paramedical Tattooing
** Both cosmetic and paramedical tattooing can provide long-lasting results, boost confidence, and minimize visible imperfections. It’s essential to consult with a certified professional who can assess individual needs and determine a customized approach.
Cosmetic Tattooing
Cosmetic tattooing, or permanent makeup, uses tattooing techniques to enhance features such as eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips. Procedures include microblading, powder brows, lip blush, and eyeliner tattooing.
Results are semi-permanent, lasting 1 to 3 years depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Touch-ups may be needed to maintain the look.
Numbing agents are used for cosmetic procedures such as brows, so discomfort is minimal, though sensitivity varies by person and area treated.
Yes, when performed by a licensed, trained professional in a clean environment. Always check credentials and aftercare instructions to avoid infections or complications.
Aftercare includes keeping the area clean, avoiding direct sunlight, and applying any recommended ointments. Avoid swimming, sweating, and makeup on the area for several days.
Paramedical tattooing helps to restore or camouflage areas affected by trauma, surgery, or medical conditions, including scar camouflage, areola restoration, scalp micropigmentation, and vitiligo camouflage.
Paramedical tattooing works best on flat, healed scars. Raised or keloid scars may not be suitable and require assessment by a trained professional.
Multiple sessions may be needed to achieve the desired effect, especially for complex procedures like areola restoration or scar camouflage. Consultations help determine the number of sessions.
Scars need to be at least 12 months old to ensure the scar is stable and mature enough to safely treat without interfering with the natural healing process, leading to the best possible results in terms of appearance.
Numbing agents typically are not used in paramedical as there is little feeling in scar tissue and this way it doesn't change how the pigment is implanted. Some clients may experience discomfort, especially on sensitive areas like the scalp or chest. Pain tolerance varies individually.
Scar camouflage is typically used for scars lighter than the surrounding skin, blending them with skin-toned pigments.
Dark scar camouflage uses lightening techniques or diluted pigments to help reduce the appearance of darker scars.
Paramedical tattoos are generally long-lasting to permanent but may fade over time, particularly in sun-exposed areas. Periodic touch-ups may be necessary. After care is essential to maintain longevity.
Inkless Stretchmark Revision (ISR) is generally considered permanent. The results can be long-lasting, but they may fade over time due to factors like skin aging, exposure to sunlight, and the body’s natural skin renewal process.
Typically, ISR treatments require multiple sessions to achieve the desired results, and occasional touch-ups may be needed to maintain them. However, because ISR doesn’t involve pigment, there’s no risk of color changes over time, as might occur with traditional tattooing techniques.
The camouflaged scar does not tan just how an un-camouflaged scar does not tan. However, the camouflaged scar will appear more blended than if you didn’t have it done. Remember to always protect your skin with SPF if it’s exposed to sunlight.
