Medical Tattooing
What is Medical Tattooing?
Years ago, medical tattooing described the practice of tattooing vital information such as blood type on military personnel in case of injury or death. Medical tattoos are still available today as a substitute for Medical I.D. Bracelets. Advancements in technology have expanded this field to include cosmetic tattooing or microdermal pigmentation. These cosmetic tattoo processes are used to improve the appearance of individuals with medically-related physical imperfections.
How People Can Benefit from Medical Tattooing
Medical micropigmentation techniques can be applied in many ways: Skin Camouflage helps improve the appearance of persons with skin diseases such as Vitiligo or post-inflammatory hypo-pigmentation from skin trauma. Scar Camouflage helps reduce the appearance of scars from accidents, burns, surgery, or the repair of congenital disorders such as Cleft Palate. Hair simulation helps restore the appearance of missing hair lost to disease (Cancer or Alopecia), trauma, or natural thinning within an eyebrow, moustache, or scalp. That technique can also be used to simulate hair stubble. Reconstructive camouflage helps post-mastectomy patients by creating a nipple and areola on the new reconstructed breast. The appearance of areola incision scars from breast surgeries for augmentation, reduction, and breast lift can also be masked.
