Scars are a definite blow to the self-esteem, especially those left post-surgeries. However, though scarring is generally part of the normal process of recovery, some make you live to regret their impact. Fortunately, advances in aesthetic procedures such as micropigmentation offer a solution. This treatment helps in reducing the appearance of scars, providing smoother and more natural looking skin.
What is Micropigmentation?
Micropigmentation commonly referred to cosmetic tattooing involves pigment implantation into the skin that aims to mimic your natural skin tone. This procedure is typically used to camouflage scars, stretch marks and discoloured areas. The idea is to blend the clients scar into the surrounding skin which makes it far less noticeable.
The pigments used for Vaughan micropigmentation will be as close to your skin color as possible. The pigment is applied carefully by a qualified technician to achieve a natural look and to blend the treated area as naturally as possible into your skin.
How Micropigmentation Helps After Surgery
The scarring after surgery is different in color and texture compared to the other parts of the skin. Vaughan micropigmentation minimizes such contrast. Medical, injury, or cosmetic surgeries that leave the scar can all be treated, restoring uniformity to the skin.
Surgical scars from mastectomies, tummy tucks, facial surgeries, and other procedures are just a few examples of common problem areas where micropigmentation can be effective. It works especially well for flat scars lighter or darker than the skin around it.
The Process
Treatment involves consultation, where your technician assesses your skin to understand what you want to achieve. Your technician will then choose the colors that blend well with your skin and inform you on what can be achieved. After this, the technician will deposit pigment on the upper layer of skin using a very fine needle. The time to spend ranges between one to two hours depending on scar dimensions and body positioning.
The number of sessions varies, but most clients see noticeable results after one or two treatments. Others may be required to get touch-ups once in a while when the pigments begin to fade.
