Hypopigmentation

Paramedical Tattoo is done after a surgery or illness has altered a patient’s appearance and in order to bring balance or a sense of “normalcy” back to the physical appearance, a custom pigmentation is formulated to help rewrite your skin’s history.   

Unlike traditional tattoos, paramedical ink is meant to blend in and avoid drawing attention.  Scar camouflage is considered a form of medical permanent makeup that can treat scarring from injury, stitches, surgery, burns, radiation markers, facelift scar, self harm scars, stretch marks, acne scars,  hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation, skin graft, sunspots, birthmarks, etc. Oileán Permanent Makeup proudly offers scar camouflage and paramedical tattoo services designed to improve the look of your scars and enhance your beauty and confidence.
