See the difference with medical tattooing for lack of pigment/hypo-pigmentation
Lack of Pigment/Hypo-pigmentation
Face the world with confidence
If your skin condition is causing you embarrassment, self-consciousness, a lack of confidence and anxiety, it’s completely understandable to look for a solution. Even the smallest area or patch of skin which is different in colour can affect your looks, impacting on self-esteem and quality of life.
Taking a step to address your visible difference can have a profound positive affect on your confidence.
For this reason, medical tattooing is a step worth taking.
How does it work?
Areas of the skin that lack colour can be re-pigmented to match the surrounding skin. You will need to be careful to stay out the sun for the duration of treatment. The larger the area concerned, typically more sessions are required.
After a treatment the area will look red, sometimes raised and darker than the desired result. It can take three to seven days to heal, slight sloughing may occur and then the colour will look approximately 50% lighter.
Medical Tattooing can last between one to five years before a Colour Boost may be needed.
Get started:
Pre-Treatment
For your comfort, refrain from alcohol or caffeine in the 24 hours pre-treatment.
If you are having medical tattooing on your face, please arrive without makeup on, or arrive early and remove your makeup 20 minutes before your treatment time. This gives your skin time to calm down and return to its normal colouring.
If you have had even ONE COLD SORE in the past, and are having a lip treatment or the area of concern goes onto or close to your lip, use an anti-herpes medication 5 x daily before your treatment and for 5 days afterwards. This will help prevent a breakout which could cause you discomfort and scarring. You will need to obtain this from a chemist or your doctor.
Please arrive for your appointment at least 10 minutes early to fill in any clinic forms, use the bathroom and get yourself settled. Rae will come to the waiting room/reception at your appointment time.
Consultation
A consultation is essential to determine a full medical history, patient expectations, suitability of treatment and a personalised treatment plan. For your safety as well as your practitioners preparation, a consultation is a requirement to determine the best course of action.
Treatment
You will be taken to the treatment room for initial photographs. Before any treatment begins, the area to be tattooed is cleaned. If required, a topical anaesethic will be applied and the pigments will then be mixed. Once the anaesethic has worked, any drawing on of features or shapes will happen. You will have time to discuss, modify, work out the most suitable shape, size and placement for you. Once this is all agreed, the tattooing will start. It is not a particularly painful treatment but more anaesethic can be applied during the treatment if needed.

Rae Denman
If you’re here to address a visible difference, you can be confident that this is the first step toward confidence and zest for living. Whether your visible difference is large or small, able to be covered or not, and whatever age, sex, race, or distinction, you will be taken seriously and treated respectfully.
I combine my extensive training and body art skills with a warm, empathetic approach to help you feel at ease.
I specialise in the visible reduction of scarring and skin grafts.
After achieving a BA Hons in Graphic Design, I focused within the Medical Tattooing industry and attained a wealth of qualifications including a Diploma of Excellence in Cosmetic tattooing, Diploma in Professional MakeUp & Body painting, and Core Synchronism Lymphatic from The New Mexico School of Natural Therapeutics. I also developed my expertise further with specific courses at The British Association of Skin Camouflage and several courses focused on scarring, areola, camouflage, skin grafts, vitiligo and facial feature restoration.
Previously I worked in the NHS Burns and Plastics Department at Morriston Hospital and now work privately at The London Scar Clinic, Harley Street and in Reigate, Surrey.
