Welcome to Dermaticians for Semi Permanent Makeup, Non Surgical and Beauty Treatments

MEDICAL MICRO-PIGMENTATION

Alopecia Areata is a condition which causes patchy hair loss on the scalp or any other part of the body. In the case of “lost” eyebrows, natural hairstrokes combined with subtle shading to create volume, can be pigmented to great effect. Also, dots of “designer stubble” are placed in bald shaved areas such as the upper lip, chin and sideburns.

Vitiligo is an unpredictable, de-pigmentation disorder of the skin. It is commonly seen on the face and hands. Re-pigmentation of the area requires great care and is only undertaken once a detailed consultation has taken place with the client. Particular attention is paid to the nature of the condition i.e. is it permanent and has it been stable for at least 3 years? A combination of flesh tones are used to make the de-pigmented area less visible and treatment will take place after small test areas have been colour matched.

Cleft Palate/lip is a congenital disorder affecting the upper palate and in some cases, the nose. Where reconstructive surgery has been carried out and there is remaining deformity of the upper lip, we can rebalance the mouth by redefining the cupid’s bow and pigmenting the lip area with subtle, natural lip colours.

Scars and Skin Grafts
We can combine techniques to soften and re-pigment scars.

Areola and Nipple Restoration can be used for those who have an undeveloped, pale areola or have undergone reconstructive breast surgery. This form of medical tattooing is very effective and in the case of a patient who has fought a long battle with breast cancer, signals the end of her treatment. Also, the appearance of pale surgical scars can be greatly improved with a micro-needling procedure. This softens and in some cases encourages natural pigmentation through the stimulation of melanin.

COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY (CIT) FOR SKIN GRAFTS AND SCARS
(INCLUDING ACNE).
Authorised GENUINE DERMAROLLER ™ UK Practitioner and Clinic.

Medical research into CIT indicates that similar results can be achieved with less cost and “downtime” (a healing time of hours not days) for the patient. It can be repeated without any restrictions.

CIT works by stimulating the skin to regenerate and repair itself naturally. New elastin and collagen are formed and the scars naturally relaxed and remodelled over a period of months. In some cases following CIT, natural pigmentation will also be noticed. five or six treatments may be required for acne scarring.

In the case of acne scarring, clinical trials have shown up to 75% of patients have shown good or excellent results in both scarring and also hyper-pigmentation.
