Permanently Beautiful

Childhood accidents happen. A fall off a bike, a collision with a wildly thrown baseball, a skateboard trick gone wrong — as your mom will tell you, kids are an accident waiting to happen. Some accidents leave scars, little white lines or puckers on knees and chins, badges of a youth well spent. A defining scar on the chin of a handsome movie star may add to his on-screen allure, but many people consider those childhood scars unsightly blemishes that mar their appearance.

You may have to live with the memories of the accident that created a scar, but you no longer have to live with the scar. Permanent cosmetic micropigmentation can permanently camouflage scars and restore your confidence in your appearance. Scars and skin imperfections resulting from childhood (or adult) accidents, injuries, burns and surgery can be camouflaged using paramedical cosmetic tattooing. Artfully applied micropigmentation can break up scar tissue and color it to more perfectly match and blend with your natural skin tone, making the scar disappear from sight.

Nationally renowned permanent makeup artist and paramedical tattoo expert Melany Whitney regularly receives referrals from prominent plastic surgeons and physicians to assist their patients. Melany has perfected scar camouflage micropigmentation and paramedical tattooing techniques that allow patients to reclaim their natural beauty.

Alopecia areata is a hair loss disease in which hair follicles are mistakenly attacked by a person’s own immune system. Usually it starts with one or more small, round, smooth bald patches on the scalp and can progress to total scalp hair loss (alopecia totalis) or complete body hair loss (alopecia universalis).

For men and women who have lost their eyebrows, permanent makeup can offer the chance to reclaim some of their facial expression, without worrying about makeup that might come off with sweat, or during sports.  Men especially might feel uncomfortable wearing makeup, but with micropigmentation chosen by a professional to complement the natural skin tone, there will be no reason to worry about smearing or smudging.

One person shared her permanent makeup testimonial: 

“One of my greatest pleasures occurs while showering! I look into the fogless mirror my husband uses for shaving, and see… EYEBROWS! I had been very sensitive of the sparsity of my brows prior to Melany’s ‘replacing’ them. I also enjoy not having to ‘remove’ my eyebrows when I retire.” 

Take a moment to see some examples of Melany Whitney’s Permanent Cosmetics Solutions For Alopecia.  You’ll notice that the eyebrow color is darker immediately after the procedure, but there is no down time, and the color fades in about 5 days!

In 2003, 15-year old Hannan was horribly burned in her home in Iraq when, according to her family, an American bomb landed near enough to her home to knock a lit oil lamp onto her bed. After the third-degree burns over 20 per cent of her body were treated by American Medics, it was believed her life was in danger, and she was forced to flee the country. Now she lives in Scotland, and at the age of 21 has undergone several operations to rebuild her ears, nose, lips and cheeks.

The owner of a permanent makeup company in London was so moved after hearing her story that she decided to offer Hannan free lifetime services–including using micropigmentation to enhance her eyebrows and lashes and define her lips, offering hope without facing the pain of undergoing another surgery.  

Melany Whitney offers the very same hope for anyone who struggles with scars from burns, injuries or surgeries. Paramedical cosmetic tattooing allows her to camouflage the area because micropigmentation breaks up scar tissue and colors it to better match the skin’s natural tone. Because of her expertise in this area, Melany routinely receives referrals from prominent plastic surgeons and physicians who understand the lasting effects of scar tissue and want to offer their patients the best possible care.

Every four seconds another woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. Many will lose one or both breasts during their courageous fight against this disease. Breast reconstruction has become a common practice in America and an integral element in the healing process after a mastectomy. Complete breast reconstruction recreates not only the shape and balance of the breast mounds, but strives to recreate the appearance of a normal areola and nipple. This is what makes a breast mound look real, giving a healing cancer patient renewed confidence in her appearance as a woman.

Too often this final important step in the breast reconstruction process is performed by the individual’s surgeon, his nurse or a technician. While these individuals may be skilled in their respective fields, the application of paramedical tattooing to create a natural-looking nipple and areola is a highly specialized skill. Too often a cancer survivor must suffer one more indignity when inexpertly applied micropigmentation fails to produce a natural-looking or even acceptable result.

The Whitney Center for Permanent Cosmetics‘ Melany Whitney is a nationally-recognized expert in paramedical tattooing. Her compassion for the breast cancer survivors she treats led Melany to develop a revolutionary micropigmentation technique that successfully creates the illusion of a lifelike areola and three-dimensional nipple. Through Melany’s unique blend of technical expertise and artistry, breast cancer survivors are able to again have normal-looking, attractive breasts.
