Specialized, advanced medical tattooing techniques are used to help hide or improve the appearance of scars and/or imperfections caused by surgery, skin conditions, trauma, and/or birth.  Color can be added to hide scars from surgeries such as face lifts, hair transplants, mastectomy, cleft lip, and more. Some scars are covered up with fleshtone pigment, similar to a concealer or foundation, but better, because it wont smear or wear off.  Other scars are hidden with permanent makeup that simulates the look of lips, brows, or eyelashes, hair, or areolas, where they may have been lost.  Permanent makeup is also very helpful for those with alopecia, because it creates the illusion of natural looking Eyebrows and Eyelashes without the fuss of applying makeup or the fear of it wearing off or smudging. 

Scars resulting from surgeries, burns, traumatic accidents or other injuries, as well as other skin imperfections like birthmarks and abnormal pigmentation, can be hidden or at least made less obvious through the skilled application of cosmetic tattooing. With this procedure, both men and women can benefit in terms of the boost in confidence they will get from having the scarred or affected skin areas on their bodies permanently made up to look like normal and healthy skin.
