waking up to beauty
by clairematthewman
Take a look at yourself in the mirror, what do you see? If you described your inner strengths or weaknesses then congratulations, you are one of the few people who genuinely see people from the inside out.
If, on the other hand, you described your physical appearance at this particular moment then you joinmillions of other people who instantlymake a judgement on appearance alone. Now don’t getme wrong there’s nothing abnormal about this - it’s just the way things are, but imagine waking up one day and seeing yourself differently than before.
Say, for example, you developed alopecia and one day you woke up and found that a large chunk of your hair had fallen out, or imagine waking up the day after a mastectomy operation - how would you feel? Forme, I’d feel as though a part of me wasmissing somehow - but what if there was a way to regain that part back?
Well thankfully, due to advances in medical procedures there are a number of operations that can be carried out to help reconstruct what has been lost - but what about the finishing touches?
Howparamedical micropigmentation can help change people’s lives
A breast reconstruction, for example, can only restore the shape of the breast, but what about the scar that will inevitably be left behind?This is where the introduction of paramedical micropigmentation can help.
what is it?
Paramedical micropigmentation describes the process of using cosmetic tattooing (micropigmentation) to improve the appearance of medically related conditions, such as alopecia, or physical imperfections, such as trauma or surgery
scars.And, because there is such a vast range of pigments available, colour matching is easy meaning that often it is difficult to tell micropigmentation from the real thing.
It is important to note, however, that although the pigments used are inert, the pigment is a foreign body, which remains under the skin formore than threemonths, and as such is classified as amedical device under the Directive 93/42/EEC and should carry a Class IIbMedical Device Certificate.
According toTracey Simpson from Natural Enhancement: “The earliest example ofmedicalmicropigmentation dates back to the 1850s when Schuh, a ground-breaking surgeon, had the foresight to use tattooing to enhance the effects of reconstructive cheiloplasty (lip surgery). Fromthis point forwardmedical history is punctuated with evidence of tattooing for reconstructive purposes.
“The 1940s brought about great advances, with the skill being implemented globally within general surgery, pioneered by the landmark work of surgeons Haute, Mcdowell and Brown in the treatment of skin grafts and skin flaps.
“From an aesthetic standpoint, Dr Giora Angres developed on these techniques and published his now famous article in 1984, which explores the use of tattooing to achieve eyelash enhancement.
