Medical Tattooing also known as paramedical tattooing or scar camouflage, medical tattooing is a restorative treatment that uses skin-toned pigments to blend scars, restore areolas, or correct skin discoloration.
Common Uses:
- Camouflaging surgical scars or stretch marks
- Restoring areolas after breast surgery
- Treating vitiligo or burns
- Simulating hair follicles (Scalp Micropigmentation)
- Correcting skin tone from hypopigmentation
Unlike traditional tattoos, the goal isn’t decoration—it’s natural restoration.
How It Works
Medical tattoos use custom-blended pigments matched to your skin tone. The pigment is implanted into the dermis using specialized machines or manual tools.
These sessions are personalized, and often require multiple visits to achieve seamless blending and long-lasting results.
