Scar Camouflage
Scars are the visible reminders of our body’s incredible ability to heal. Whether resulting from surgery, accidents, or medical conditions, scars symbolize the natural regenerative process that occurs within us. They stand as a reminder that our bodies have endured wounds and have emerged stronger. Each scar tells a unique tale of perseverance, reminding us that even in the face of adversity, we possess the power to heal and thrive.
Scars, especially those that are highly visible or on noticeable areas of the body, can make individuals feel self-conscious about their appearance. For patients in Bakersfield California looking for artistic solutions to help blend, color-match, or even offer a 3-D appearance, scar camouflage artistry at Beautologie Cosmetic Surgery, Medical Aesthetics & Wellness may be the treatment you are looking for.
Stretch Mark Camouflage
Stretch mark camouflage in Bakersfield California is a penetrative skin treatment using permanent tattoo ink. This means that the results last indefinitely, provided that the correct aftercare procedures are adhered to. As with any tattoo ink, this will fade slowly over time, but the inks we use at Beautologie should not change color.
Areola 3-D Nipple Tattoo
Typically about four months following breast reconstruction, we can tattoo a natural-looking nipple and areola. Breast reconstruction may or may not include nipple reconstruction. Either way, there is no color defining the area. Artistic tattoo techniques can create a 3D nipple tattoo for those opting out of the nipple surgery. The goal with the 3D nipple is the illusion of protrusion. Areola tattooing at Beautologie is generally the finishing touch to breast reconstruction.
