Vitiligo Camouflage Medical Tattoo

For those who are a suitable candidate, other than enhanced confidence, vitiligo camouflage has a number of other benefits;

Long-lasting Results: Unlike makeup or other temporary solutions, scar camouflage micropigmentation can last for several years, reducing the daily need of concealing scars.

Natural Appearance: Advanced techniques ensure that the pigments used closely matches the surrounding skin, offering a seamless and natural look.

Safe and Effective: When performed by expereinced, certified professionals, the procedure is safe with minimal side effects. There is little downtime when compared to surgical scar revision treatments.

Versatility: It can be used to camouflage various types of scars, including surgical scars, burns, trauma scars, and more.

Minimal Maintenance: Once the desired results are achieved, there's little to no maintenance required, although you will need to follow the aftercare provided to you after your sessions.

Cost-Effective: In the long run, micropigmentation can be more cost-effective than repeatedly purchasing high-end camouflage concealers or other makeup products.

Depending on the size of the area, sessions typically last between 1-3 hours.

Following your vitiligo camouflage micropigmentation, your practitioner will provide you with comprehensive aftercare instructions. Adhering to these guidelines is paramount to ensuring the longevity and success of the procedure. By meticulously following the prescribed aftercare regimen, you not only optimise the healing process but also significantly minimise potential risks. Your practitioner's expertise, combined with your diligent aftercare, creates a partnership that aims for the best possible outcome and the preservation of your skin's health.

Straight after treatment:

Avoid swimming , going in a sauna or Jacuzzi or a gym session after your treatment.

After 3 days - 1 week a light amount of vasseline can be applied as a barrier and then continue as normal.

Additional procedures cannot be undertaken until the area has completely healed. We suggest a 4/6 week healing time before further work is undertaken. Once the area has completely healed (3-7 days) consider using a sunblock to prevent the pigment colour fading.

Healing consists of three phases:

Heal:

The body’s natural defences will create a fine scab to protect the area whilst healing. Peel: After a few days the scab will slough away. Picking at the treated area as it heals will result in pigment loss.

Fade:

After the fine scabbing has sloughed away you will see a lighter hue to the implanted colour which is more realistic. After 4/6 weeks the colour will appear to take on a new strength.

GENERAL ADVICE

The morning after treatment you may shower. It is suggested you shower with your back to the water jets to avoid the water directly hitting the treated area.

Use gauze to blot dry the treated area. If you wish to bathe then please avoid soaking in the bath water or using any bath products.

Use gauze to blot dry. If you have a dressing covering the treated area please remove it as soon as possible when you get home.

If you find any lymphatic fluid or blood weeping gently clean the area with saline/cool boiled water and sterile gauze, blotting gently dry to remove all moisture. Air is the key.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Giving Blood: The Red Cross has suggested that you do not give blood for 4 months.

MRI Scans: Medical Micropigmentation can show up as an artefact on the scan. Some patients may experience a tingling sensation. Please notify the radiologist.

Laser: Laser hair removal should be undertaken BEFORE a medical micropigmentation procedure is carried out as it could cause the area to turn black.

Most clients describe the sensation as similar to light scratching. We can also apply a numbing cream to minimise discomfort.

The results can last from 1 -3 years and longer in some cases. A touch-up will be required over time when the pigment starts to fade.
