Paramedical tattooing is a special type of tattoo that helps people who have had surgery, accidents, or skin conditions. It can improve the look of scars, restore natural skin color, or recreate features like the areola (the darker area around the nipple) after surgery. Lust for Lashes offers paramedical tattooing to help you feel more confident and comfortable in your skin. These tattoos blend in naturally with the surrounding skin and last for years.
What is Paramedical Tattooing?
Unlike decorative tattoos, paramedical tattoos are designed to look like natural skin, matching the color and texture to make the treated area look normal again. Lust for Lashes uses special pigments and techniques to create natural-looking results. The goal is to help people feel better about their appearance, whether they are covering a scar or recreating features lost due to surgery or an injury.
Common Uses of Paramedical Tattooing
Here are some of the most common reasons people choose paramedical tattoos:
1. **Scar Camouflage**:
If you have scars from surgery, burns, or accidents, paramedical tattooing can help blend them into your skin, making them less noticeable. Lust for Lashes will match the color of your skin to the pigment to ensure the scar fades into the background.
2. **Areola Restoration**:
After breast surgery, such as a mastectomy and gender affirming procedures, some people choose to have their areolas and nipples recreated using paramedical tattooing. Lust for Lashes can make a 3D effect, making the tattoo look incredibly realistic, giving a natural appearance.
3. **Vitiligo**:
For people with vitiligo, a condition that causes patches of skin to lose pigment, paramedical tattoos can help restore the color in those areas. While it may not stop the spread of vitiligo, it can make the skin look more even.
4. **Burn Scar Treatment**:
For those with burn scars, paramedical tattooing can restore lost pigmentation, making the burn scars blend with the surrounding skin. This treatment helps improve the skin’s overall appearance.
Who Can Benefit from Paramedical Tattooing?
Paramedical tattooing is for anyone who wants to improve the look of their skin after surgery, injury, or a medical condition. Here are some people who may benefit:
- **Breast cancer survivors**: After a mastectomy, paramedical tattooing can restore the appearance of the areola and nipple, helping survivors feel whole again.
- **Scar sufferers**: If you have scars from accidents, surgery, or burns, paramedical tattooing can make them blend in better with your skin.
-Face Lift Scar
-Tummy Tuck Scarring

- **Vitiligo patients**: If you have patches of lighter skin due to vitiligo, paramedical tattooing can even out your skin tone.
How the Procedure Works
Here’s what you can expect when you get a paramedical tattoo from Lust for Lashes:
1. **Consultation**:
First, you'll meet with your technician to talk about what you want to achieve. We will look at your skin tone and texture and determine the right treatment plan for you to achieve beautiful results. We’ll also explain the application process, estimate number of sessions needed, cost per session, and what results to expect.
2. **Pigment Application**:
Using all sterile tattoo needles and tattoo machine, we will expertly layer and blend the tattoo pigments into the skin. We carefully match the pigment to your skin tone and choose colors that will compliment them to attain a very natural, seamless result.
3. **Healing**:
Just like regular tattoos, paramedical tattoos need time to heal. The treated area may be darker at first, but it will lighten as it heals over the next few weeks. You’ll need to follow the provided aftercare instructions to keep the area clean and moisturized during healing.
4. **Follow-up**:
Most tattoo treatments will require 2-3 sessions to achieve the desired result and longevity of the tattoo.
How Long Do Paramedical Tattoos Last?
Paramedical tattoos are often called permanent, but over time, the pigment can fade. Most paramedical tattoos last between 1-3 years depending on skin type, location of treatment area, and sun exposure. You may need touch-ups over time to keep your tattoo looking fresh and seamless.
