GlossaryMedical Tattooing

application of pigments to restore natural appearance after medical issues

Medical Tattooing, also known as Medical Micropigmentation or Paramedical Tattooing, involves the application of pigments to the skin to restore the appearance of natural features affected by medical conditions or treatments. This technique is commonly used to create the illusion of hair in cases of alopecia, to camouflage scars, or to reconstruct features such as areolas after breast surgery.
