The team at Cosmedic Professional are world renowned medical cosmetic tattooists based in the UK. Here they share the latest industry trends.
Whether it’s well-shaped eyebrows, prominent lips, scar camouflage or masking hair loss, cosmetic tattooing can completely transform a person’s look and self-confidence.
With state of the art digital machines and a combination of a clinical and artistic approach, natural-looking beautiful results in cosmetic tattooing is now on offer – to simulate features ranging from a hair follicle stubble on the human scalp to a single human eyebrow hair.
Reconstructive/medical aesthetics
Reconstructive or medical tattooing is used to disguise scars and even recreate the 
appearance of an areola, giving patients a new sense of confidence after having a mastectomy or reconstructive surgery as a result of an accident or trauma. In many cases reconstructive tattooing can improve scar tissue and permanently conceal any resulting disfigurement.
Reconstructive tattooing can disguise skin imperfections from surgeries, helping to minimise the look of scars, burns or other injuries. Using an intricate procedure whereby the skin’s natural pigmentation is microscopically copied and the colour is injected beneath the skin, the matched colour pigments are then infused within the scar or burn to create a customised camouflage.
Areola reconstruction with cosmetic tattooing can greatly affect the lives of women who are uncomfortable with the appearance of their nipples, especially if they have undergone a breast reconstruction after a mastectomy.
A natural areola can be replicated using a tattoo gun or pen to apply the colour on a carefully measured region on the top layer of the skin. The relative simplicity of this technique means there are minimal risks involved and any resulting tenderness or redness should fade after a few days.
Scalp micropigmentation
Hair loss can have a profound negative effect on a person’s self-confidence and be a constant source of self-consciousness. Hair loss in a younger person can contribute to an appearance of premature ageing and at any age can detract from the overall appearance.
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP), also known as Scalp Tattooing and Hair Follicle Simulation, is a technique that can mask the effects of hair loss, utilising pigment (not ink) to create the appearance of shaven hair follicles. This adds density to thinning areas, covering unsightly scars and restoring the hairline. The treatment replicates shaven hair follicles on the scalp so realistically that it gives the illusion of real hair.
This semi-permanent procedure is ideal for people who are not suitable for hair transplant surgery, or who have limited donor hair, suffer with male or female pattern baldness, thinning hair, scarring or certain types of alopecia.
Cosmetic tattooing means more than looking flawless 24/7. The advances in technology and techniques prove that cosmetic tattooing is reaching new levels, including scalp micropigmentation and medical aesthetics, no longer just enhancing beauty but also changing people’s lives.
Semi-permanent makeup
Semi permanent makeup, or cosmetic tattooing, is a revolutionary method of inserting small amounts of pigment into the very topmost layers of the skin in order to enhance features. Unlike conventional tattoos, this state of the art procedure uses synthetic pharmaceutical grade pigments designed to fade over time.
Some of the most sought after cosmetic tattoo procedures are performed on the eyes, lips and eyebrows to permanently enhance colour and fullness, whilst also having the ability to create a more youthful appearance. Cosmetic tattooing provides a safe, quick and easy alternative to daily application of makeup, helping people to look their best anytime, anywhere.
Cosmetic tattooing is ideal if you have:
• Sparse, thin or no eyelashes or eyebrows
• An allergy to conventional cosmetics
• Hay fever or sensitive or watery eyes
• A busy schedule and little time to worry about makeup
