Scar Camouflage is considered a complex pigmenting procedure often requiring several applications and techniques for blending and natural appearance.
Types of Wrinkle and Scar Treatments
People of all ages want to smooth fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. This can be achieved by “resurfacing” techniques that peel, exfoliate, and rejuvenate skin. Methods include chemical peels, dermabrasion, and laser treatments. These procedures remove the top layer of skin (epidermis) to stimulate re-growth. As new skin develops, collagen and elastin is produced which helps smooth and tighten the skin. Although resurfacing is effective, the skin damage can create side effects including whitening or color loss (hypo-pigmentation), darkening (hyper-pigmentation), overall thinning, or sun sensitivity. Also, the areas around the eyes must be avoided with these procedures. Because some people are not good candidates for these skin resurfacing techniques, an alternative method is available called “Needling” or “Skin Needling”.
What is Skin Needling?
Skin Needling is also called “Facial Needling” or “Medical Needling” (it is not Acupuncture). The technique reduces the depth of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. It also reduces shallow depressed scars such as Chicken Pox or Acne scars. Facial needling is a natural skin rejuvenation method that fills and softens wrinkles and scars. It does not use chemicals, fillers, injections, or lasers. The process creates hundreds of microscopic “pin pricks” to activate your body’s wound healing process. As your skin heals, it uses your own collagen to fill the “valleys” of wrinkles and scars naturally.
Tattoo Removal and how does it work?
The salt-water method is highly successful in tattoo removal without the probability of heavy scarring. Why salt? Salt is safe when utilized by a properly trained technician. This process is similar to the salibrasion procedure once performed by physicians.
The skin is a semi permeable membrane allowing only a certain size particle to get through. By introducing a high concentration of salt water next to the dermis (where the unwanted ink or pigment is) water in the cells beneath and surrounding the pigment (containing lower concentrations of salt and water) will rise to the areas containing higher concentrations of salt. This is called equalization. In the process of equalization pigment is forced from the dermal layer of the skin upward to the epidermis by osmotic pressure in an attempt to become equal to the higher concentration of salt and water. Unwanted ink or pigment brought to the skins surfaces shed in the scab that forms over the procedure site during the healing process leaving new pink skin in its place. Multiple treatments may be necessary according to the shape, size, location and colorsVISA and MASTERCARD accepted
