Paramedical Scar Camouflage

Restorative Cosmetic Tattooing involving Paramedical Scar Camouflage, Skin Camouflage, and Skin camouflage is the art of tattooing flesh tone pigments into the skin or scar to blend, minimize, and conceal discolorations and stretch marks. It is a specialized area of permanent cosmetics known as Medical or Paramedical Tattooing. This technique can be used when the skin is hypopigmented (loss of color), on a scar that has left the person feeling self-conscious, or to restore shape and color to an area that has been misshapen by trauma or surgery. It is also very useful for camouflaging scarring left from plastic surgery on various body parts.

Stretch marks

Stretch marks are so common and can appear for several reasons, including normal growth or pregnancy. Some are darker than the surrounding skin, some are lighter, and some are red or purple. If you have stretch marks that bother you, let us help!

Everyone’s needs are unique, and we will develop a treatment plan that fits your specific skin and stretch marks. Our Certified Artist will utilize an inkless revision technique or micropigmentation with tattoo ink or a combination to get the best possible outcome. Let's camouflage those stretch marks and make you feel confident in your body and skin! We understand how “irregularities” like acne, scars, and stretchmarks affect your confidence. We all have them, but we can help make them less noticeable, helping you feel confident in your skin!

Skin Camouflage

Trust us to camouflage the reminder and facilitate the healing process.

Do you have a scar or mark that reminds you of a trauma you went through or that you hate because it draws attention? Do you have a scar from surgery, an accident, or even from self-harm? Using inkless micro-needling and micropigmentation, we can camouflage scars and skin irregularities that result from medical and elective surgeries, burns, skin grafts, acne, and more.

Inkless microneedling can help soften scar tissue and stimulate the body to produce collagen and melanin to improve its color and appearance. Micropigmentation deposits skin-toned pigment into the area, blending it into the surrounding skin and making it less noticeable.

At Bella Ink, we understand the importance of feeling confident in your skin. Let our Certified Paramedical Tattoo Artist help you regain your confidence and get on with living!

  • What are the medical benefits of Paramedical Tattooing?
    Some people may have a medical condition or be undergoing treatment that affects their facial hair, including eyelashes and eyebrows. People with Alopecia Areata, Trichotillomania, Hormonal and Thyroid Conditions, burn victims, those undergoing chemotherapy and radiation, antibiotic courses, or simply suffer from the loss of or growth retardation of their facial hair. Micropigmentation techniques can restore the appearance of hair in areas suffering loss and help restore clients' self-esteem.
  • Is a consultation necessary for scar/skin camouflage?
    Your experience with Studio C Ink will begin with an in-person consultation. During this consultation, we will discuss your medical background and any concerns. We will also conduct a small skin patch test to ensure that you and your skin will tolerate the pigment, if applicable.
  • Is Paramedical Tattooing painful?
    Topical anesthetics are used to minimize any discomfort during the procedure. There is usually some minor discomfort, although tolerance levels vary between clients. Most clients find the procedures only mildly uncomfortable. The client’s pain threshold, the technique, and the proper application of topical anesthetic will determine how comfortable the client will be during the procedureTo remove the title from your mobile app go to the 'Site & App' tab in your Owner's app and customize.
  • 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.
  • Do scars on the breast react well to Scar Camouflage?
    Surgical procedures on the breast can create a scar if they require an incision at or around the edge of the areola. The scar that is left is called a peri-areolar scar. Some breast surgeries also create a vertical scar from the nipple through the lower portion of the breast that may need to be camouflaged. The following are breast surgical procedures that may create a scar: Breast Augmentation or Enlargement (Augmentation Mammoplasty); Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty); Breast Lift (Mastopexy); and Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia). Scar camouflage can successfully minimize the appearance of these scars. It often has a skin-smoothing effect on the scars due to the breakup of scar tissue.
  • Are there any safety issues I should be concerned with?
    All our procedures at Bella Ink Studio adhere to strict OSHA standards for Blood-borne Pathogens, and we maintain our OSHA certification by taking an annual exam. All needles and materials that touch the skin are sterile and disposable. All necessary precautions are taken to ensure a sterile and hygienic environment. The CDC follows strict sanitation and sterilization guidelines (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). We use single-use sterile needles with each application. Pigments are all made from approved compounds. When proper sterilization and sanitation guidelines are followed, Permanent Cosmetics are entirely safe. Permanent Cosmetics and tattoos are completely safe if you go to a reputable artist who follows all recommended safety precautions; however, it is essential to remember that tattoos are not risk-free. The health risks associated with tattooing are small if appropriate disinfection and sterilization techniques are used. Safety Protocol: Pre-sterilized disposable needles which are opened in front of the client Gamma sterilized pigments used Disposable needle containment system New gloves between client procedures and throughout your procedure Distilled water used in a disposable plastic cup New wipes, cotton pads, and cotton swabs Hospital-grade disinfectant for tables, lamps, instruments, and surfaces A face mask is worn during the procedure
  • Do you think a consultation is necessary?
    Your experience with Bella Ink Studio will begin with an in-person consultation. During this 30-45-minute appointment, we will discuss your medical background, concerns, and wishes for color/shape/size. We will also cover your feelings and sensitivity in the area and whether you need pre-numbing before the Areola treatment. We will then schedule your appointment for your 3D Areola tattoos.
  • Is anesthetic necessary for areola tattooing?
    Anesthesia is not necessary for areola tattooing. A topical anesthetic will be given to ensure your comfort. An ice pack applied to the treatment site can also be soothing.
  • How long do areola tattoos take?
    Areola tattooing is a relatively quick procedure. A single nipple can often be completed in about 1 hour and bilateral nipples in approximately 2 hours, but some treatments take longer.
  • How long will the results last?
    The tattoo pigments used for your Areola tattooing treatment are long-lasting, but that does not mean they will last forever. If fading occurs, you may wish to return for a follow-up treatment. The touch-up process will be like the initial treatment but may be shorter.
