The scar camouflage technique can help to camouflage scars, burns, birthmarks and other skin imperfections resulting from surgeries and injuries. If you have experienced an injury that has left you with an unsightly scar, you would be an ideal candidate for this procedure.

Surgical procedures on the breast can create a scar if they require an incision at or around the edge of the areola. The scar that is left is called a peri-areolar scar. Some breast surgeries also create a vertical scar from the nipple through the lower portion of the breast that may need to be camouflaged. The following are breast surgical procedures that may create a scar: Breast Augmentation or Enlargement (Augmentation Mammoplasty); Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty); Breast Lift (Mastopexy); and Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia). Scar camouflage can successfully minimize the appearance of these scars. It often has a skin-smoothing effect on the scars due to the breakup of scar tissue.

All our procedures at Bella Ink Studio adhere to strict OSHA standards for Blood-borne Pathogens, and we maintain our OSHA certification by taking an annual exam.

The CDC follows strict sanitation and sterilization guidelines (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). We use single-use sterile needles with each application. Pigments are all made from approved compounds. When proper sterilization and sanitation guidelines are followed, Permanent Cosmetics are entirely safe. Permanent Cosmetics and tattoos are completely safe if you go to a reputable artist who follows all recommended safety precautions; however, it is essential to remember that tattoos are not risk-free.
