Medical tattooing

What is Medical Tattooing?

Medical tattooing is an advanced form of cosmetic tattooing. It can improve the aesthetics of a wide range of issues that resulted in discolorations. The goal of medical tattooing is to reconstruct perceived deformities through tattoo artistry, so that our patients’ inner beauty can become more visible to the world.

Services Offered

  • Creation or modification of the nipple areolar complex

  • Creation of eyebrows, an eyelash line, or restoration of hair loss on the scalp through microblading

  • Improving lip symmetry

  • Improving the appearance of scars

  • Correcting small hypopigmented lesions, often a result from vitiligo

Body tattooing

A tattoo is a permanent mark or design made on your skin with pigments inserted through pricks into the skin’s top layer. Typically, the tattoo artist uses a hand-held machine that acts much like a sewing machine, with one or more needles piercing the skin repeatedly. With every puncture, the needles insert tiny ink droplets.

Stretch marks treatment

Stretch marks don’t require treatment. They are harmless and often fade over time. Treatment can make them fade, but they may never completely disappear.

The following treatments are among those available to help improve the appearance and texture of stretch marks. None has been proved to be more consistently successful than the others.

  • Retinoid cream. Derived from vitamin A, retinoids — such as tretinoin (Retin-A, Renova, Avita) — that you apply to your skin may improve the appearance of stretch marks less than a few months old. Tretinoin, when it works, helps to rebuild a protein in the skin called collagen, making the stretch marks look more like your normal skin. Tretinoin can irritate your skin.

    If you’re pregnant or nursing, talk with your health care provider about other treatment options, because possible side effects of retinoid cream may affect the baby.

  • Light and laser therapies. A variety of light and laser therapies are available that might stimulate growth of collagen or promote elasticity. Your health care provider can help you determine which technique is right for you.

  • Microneedling. This treatment involves a hand-held device with tiny needles that stimulate collagen growth. This technique has less risk of skin color changes than does laser therapy so is the preferred first approach for people with darker skin.

Work with your health care provider to choose the right treatment or combination of treatments for you. Factors to consider include:

  • How long you’ve had the stretch marks

  • Your skin type

  • Convenience, as some therapies require repeated visits to the clinic

  • Cost, as treatments to improve how the skin looks (cosmetic therapies) often aren’t covered by medical insurance

  • What you expect your skin to look like after treatment

Lymphatic drainage

What is a lymphatic drainage massage used for? ​

Lymphatic drainage massage, also known as manual lymphatic drainage, is a gentle form of massage used to relieve painful swelling in your arms and legs caused by lymphedema. Lymphedema often affects people recovering from breast cancer surgery. Lymphedema happens when your tissues retain fluid left behind after your cardiovascular system sends blood to your tissues and organs. The remaining fluid is called lymph. Normally, your lymphatic system collects your lymph and returns it to your heart via a network of lymph vessels and lymph nodes. When something disrupts your lymphatic system’s process, lymph collects in your arms and legs, making them swell. A massage therapist uses lymphatic drainage massage techniques to move lymph from your tissues to your lymph nodes, which eases the swelling in your tissues.

Do lymphatic drainage massages work?

Healthcare providers are still studying whether lymphatic drainage massages make a difference. Some studies show people age 60 and below benefitted by having lymphatic drainage massages.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

How are lymphatic drainage massages done?

A lymphatic drainage massage is a two-step process:

  • Clearing: This step releases lymphatic fluid in your tissues.

  • Reabsorption: This step moves your lymphatic fluid to your lymph nodes.

Are there other ways to remove lymphatic fluid from my tissues? ​ Some people benefit from a mechanical process. In this process, you put a sleeve on the swollen arm or leg. The sleeve is attached to a pneumatic pump that pulsates and helps your lymph to drain from your tissues to your lymph nodes.

RISK AND BENEFITS

What are some conditions that can benefit from lymphatic drainage massage?

Lymphatic drainage massages are often used to relieve lymphedema following breast cancer surgery. Other conditions that benefit from lymphatic drainage massages are:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis: This is ongoing arthritis in your joints causing joint pain, swelling and stiffness.

  • Fibromyalgia: This condition causes chronic muscle and joint pain.

  • Chronic venous insufficiency: This happens when your leg veins aren’t working effectively, making it hard for your blood to return to your heart from your legs.

  • Lipedema: This happens when excess fat accumulates in your lower body, blocking your lymphatic pathway and causing lymphedema.

Are there any risks associated with lymphatic drainage massage?

Generally speaking, lymphatic drainage massage is a safe treatment to relieve lymphedema. There are some conditions and circumstances where lymphatic drainage massage is not recommended:

  • You have a heart condition.

  • You have kidney failure.

  • You have blood clots.

  • You have an infection.

Talk to your healthcare provider if you’re concerned your physical health might be affected by lymphatic drainage massage.

Will lymphatic drainage massages make my lymphedema go away?

You might not see immediate results from lymphatic drainage massages. If you have several sessions without result, ask your healthcare provider about alternative treatments.

How can I drain my lymphatic system myself?

Talk to your healthcare provider about learning lymphatic draining massage techniques. They will have information to help you decide if you would benefit from doing lymphatic draining massage yourself or by working with a trained massage therapist.

What happens if I'm feeling sick after a lymphatic drainage massage?

Few people have negative reactions to lymphatic drainage massage. Some people, however, complain of headaches, nausea and fatigue. When that happens, you should ask your healthcare provider about managing your side effects.
