Micropigmentation is the process of implanting hypoallergenic pigments below the epidermis layer of the skin for corrective procedures. The pigment will, after a healing process, stay in the skin for a number of years, breaking down and fading with time, depending on age and skin type on the individual.
Micropigmentation is used to improve the appearance of scars such as from liposuction, face-lift or tummy tucks. It can be also used to improve discolorations from stretch marks, birthmarks, freckles, non-pigmented age spots, port wine stains, vitiligo, etc.
Natural skin is not one tone or shade. Neither should your micropigmented skin. No one wants to end up looking as though as though they are wearing badly matched foundation. Much of the work Medical Camouflage involves either 'normalizing' irregular skin color that have proven otherwise impervious to lasers and ultraviolet treatments, or matching damaged skin to the surrounding area so it blends naturally, rendering scars and skin imperfections inconspicuous even on close inspection.
It is important to remember that Medical Camouflage procedures demand a high degree of training and skill. They should never be attempted by the inexperienced, nor should they ever be performed in conditions that are not sterile. By having your treatment at Serenity MedSpa, you can relax in the knowledge your procedure will be performed by a highly qualified and experienced specialist with a MBMS (Bachelor Medicine/Bachelor Surgery) degrees and professional affiliations with leading Board Certified Cosmetic/Plastic/General Surgeons and Dermatologists. Patients are frequently referred to us by prominent plastic surgeons, dermatologists nationwide.
The Stanford Derm Surgery Department at Stanford University, California, refers all micropigment patients exclusively to our offices for medical micropigmentation. (http://www.stanfordskincenter.com/cosmetic/cosmetic-face.html)

"Theresa is nothing short of a miracle worker. Professionally, she is welcoming, warm, engaging and instantly makes you feel at ease. She is a total pleasure to deal with. Beyond that, her work is absolutely astounding. I came to see her with a complaint of throat 'necklace' lines (creases) which have plagued me since childhood and which more than one dermatologist and plastic surgeon told me simply 'could not be fixed.' Thankfully, I found Teresa's wonderful, informative website and booked a consultation on the off chance there might be something she could do. She was thorough and professional during the examination and we discussed what types of results I could expect. The procedure and follow-ups were performed in a beautiful, relaxing spa environment. While the sensation can be a bit prickly at times, Theresa is constantly ensuring that the skin is properly numbed, and she has a delicate touch. And boy, what results! Well worth any minor discomfort you might feel. She minimized the discolorations, shadows and lines on my neck with a technique as artistic as it is scientific. She is a painstaking and a devoted perfectionist. Her craft is truly remarkable - and offers such an extraordinary range of 'cures' where traditional medical methods have not only failed but are invasive, painful and infinitely more expensive. I not only would recommend . Theresa, I plan to treat more areas in the near future. A rare experience that surpassed my most hopeful expectations. I am so grateful I found her. Five stars out of five!"
