SCARS CAN IMPROVE

Scar Camouflage

Scar camouflage requires understanding of the skin science behind the physiology of human skin and tissue as well as tattoo technique on compromised skin to bring successful results.  Living with scars can often damage your self-esteem, make you feel self conscious. Scar camouflage can really make a difference for you, in some cases, life-changing. My empathetic understanding 

Candidates are :

  • Tummy Tuck surgery scar

  • Breast augmentation surgery scar ( Areolas )

  • Mastectomy scar

  • Breast reduction scar ( Anchor scar )

  • Arm lift, Thigh lift

  • Male top surgery scar

  • Weight loss surgery

  • Gastric sleeve surgery

  • Liposuction

  • C section scar

  • Burn scar

  • Self harm scar

  • Injury, accident scar

  • Vitiligo ( in remission )

  • Portwine  (only after multiple sessions with laser to cauterize the vessels and only under doctor’s order)

  • Cleft Palates

STEP - 1

Scar Reduction - Pre camouflage

Inkless method is done with tattoo needles, this step is focused on softening scar tissue, smoothing out the texture of the scar, often called scar relaxation technique or CIT, collagen induction therapy. Doing this step will prepare the scar to have a better  color retention for scar camouflage sessions. Different types of needles are used depending on the scar tissue, just enough to cause a controlled damage to the scarred area.  This minor trauma stimulates the blood flow to the area, and triggers the body’s natural healing process. The dry needling technique causes micro punctures, which creates channels that trigger the body to restore collagen, melanin and elastin, therefore promoting further restructuring of damaged skin to a healthier skin tissue.

Raised scars will flatten out, become smoother and tight scars will loosen up, releasing tension on the skin around it. Discolored scars start to normalize and skin tone/color evens out. Numbness on the scar tissue may improve, and start bringing the sensations back. 

 

Incorporating a proper after care provided by different stages of wound healing, can maximize the result of the treatment, and lightens the hyperpigmented scars as well. FADE MILK, our signature skin whitening cream made specifically for dark scars does the wondrous job in this stage as shown in many improved results.

STEP - 2

Scar Camouflage

Once a scar is light and flatter, matching skin tone will be created by state of art color matching skill, and tattooed into the area that’s missing pigments.

Process

  • Consultation: We will take time to discuss your need and concern, assess your scar,  and a treatment plan will be proposed to meet your needs. We will make sure you are completely comfortable with the proposed treatment before proceeding.

  • Color matching: We will prepare a number of custom-blended pigments specifically for your skin tone. 

  • Tattooing: Before beginning the treatment, we will apply local anesthetic cream to make the procedure as comfortable as possible, as needed. 

  • Healing: We will apply a healing ointment to protect the irritated skin and, if necessary, a light dressing. Healing time varies by skin, but in most cases, minor irritation will subside by next day, and the top layers of skin will have healed around 7 days post-treatment. Your skin will continue to heal up to 6 weeks or so. 

  • Aftercare will be provided with detailed instruction.

I went to see Gina for my tummy tuck scar. The dark discoloration was bugging me. I did some research & came across Elevate You Studio. I was impressed by the results I saw on Yelp & her website. I made an appointment for a session. She was very professional, answered all of my questions thoroughly & gave me realistic results. Oh not to forget to mention about her studio, it was very stylish & zen at the same time. Had a sterile yet warm look to it.

She explained the treatment to me & the after care of it. I followed her directions & when the time came to see my final results, I was amazed! Just by one treatment and my scar already was so much lighter!!! I am already so happy with my results. Thank you so much Gina!!! You rock!!!

I recently visited my plastic surgeon, & he himself was in awe! He asked for her business cards.

Again, can't thank you enough dear Gina!

3D Areola tattoo & Areola Scar Camouflage Tattoo

Areola scars are common with those who had breast surgery. I'm proud to say Areola scar camouflage is my favorite camouflage tattoo. I love how quickly I can provide a complete result, it is incredibly rewarding.

 

It is also a special procedure because it is less invasive than a painful skin-grafting procedure, which for many years was the only available method of restoring balanced coloration to the area.

 

The process of areola pigmentation is done in a careful way and takes several visits to obtain the desired result.

Candidates are :

  • Breast cancer survivor

  • Post-mastectomy areola restoration

  • Subcutaneous mastectomy

  • Breast augmentation

  • Breast reconstruction

  • Breast lift

  • Male chest reconstruction

  • Female to male surgery​

NON INVASIVE TATTOO TECHNIQUE

Stretchmarks Inkless Tattoo 
Stretchmarks Camouflage Tattoo

Stretch Marks Inkless / Camouflage Tattoo is done by needling with tattoo techniques, precisely done on the stretchmarks line.

 

Stretchmarks have no collagen production or pigment as it is a form of scar. Needling will stimulate collagen production and restore the area to become smoother and lighter.

Inkless treatment is done with pure hyaluronic acid serum or epidermal growth factor, this technique is applied if stretch marks are deeper and wider.

Camouflage tattoo method is to infuse diluted skin color pigment that matches with your skin tone, the stretch marks may be concealed and look less visible. The goal of camouflage tattoo is not to make it obvious there is ink on the skin, to make it well blended with the surrounding skin, therefore "camouflaged".

Camouflage tattoo method should be done only with an experienced artist as it requires an advanced skill and artistic eyes to create skin tone color, and would be the last step to finish the course of treatment.

Healing time for Stretch Marks Inkless / Camouflage Tattoo is between 4-8 weeks in average.​

If you want to find out which method is right for your stretch marks, you can send us an email. 


Are you worried you have hyperpigmentation prone skin?  Pre-care and aftercare will be provided, our regimen works perfectly to prevent post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

I been coming to Gina not only for my stretch marks, or tattoo removal, but also for her trainings, I had taken a stretch mark course before at a different location and let me tell you I was left with question on why my clients weren't receiving a good before/ and after, I knew something was missing so I contacted Gina to help train me.

 

It was the best decision I made in my life wish I would have done it before. I took her ink-less training in person and im doing the stretch mark camo training online. After seeing my own results I knew I had to learn the camouflage myself as-well. Not only is Gina very informative and sweet but she also answers my questions every time I have one. If you are looking for training her classes are it ! Don't go anywhere else.

VITILIGO CAN LOOK MORE BLENDED.

Vitiligo Camouflage

Vitiligo is an autoimmune disorder that causes some areas of skin to lose color. We have to be extremely careful when determining if you are a candidate. Trauma from needling can trigger immune response and reactivate the vitiligo. Candidates are those whose vitiligo has been under remission for a few years. Results are instantaneous and last up to 3 years without washing off. Camouflage tattoo technique will blend the white patches of skin with your regular skin tone. Vitiligo camouflage tattoos can be performed to the face, hands, or almost anywhere on the body. Most of our vitiligo patients come by referral and recommendation from the dermatologists. Please email/ text us pics to get a quote and treatment plan.

I found out about this studio through a friend of mine who was serviced by Gina and WOW! She excelled my expectations and was so personable. I was diagnosed with vitiligo a few years ago and my confidence became so low. I know a lot of people get this condition and they are super confident and beautiful but it is also ok to want to go back to how you were before losing the pigment in your skin. I highly recommend Elevate You Studio, She really is an amazing artist.

Lip Blush

If you like the effect of dewy lip tint, you may love lip blush tattoo.


Lip blush is a form of cosmetic tattoo . It is common  to lose the pigment as we age, particularly women, in the lips and lip lines. To balance the loss of color and definition, a lot of women use lip liner daily to make the lips look slightly bigger and plumper.

My lip blush technique is done with 3 round shaders, which is less traumatizing on the skin. In most cases you will need 2 sessions 2 weeks apart to create desired tone. I will choose custom color to enhance natural lip tones that will suit your Fitzpatrick scale. 
If you have dark lips, it may take 2 -3 sessions, as we will need to neutralize the tone first before we add the color you desire. 

Procedure can take 2 hours each time, and  yes we will use numbing cream.

BENTONITE CLAY & ACTIVATED CHARCOAL

Eyebrow Tattoo / Microblading Removal

What makes Undo tattoo removal different from other tattoo removal ?

 

Undo removal is a non laser / non saline tattoo removal for small tattoos and eyebrow tattoos.

Pigment is lifted to the surface , becoming lighter and lighter as it heals.

Undo solution is made with Bentonite and activated charcoal , so much more effective than saline removal.  The greatest part is No risk of scarring or burning hair like laser removal, and less painful than either saline or laser removal. 

 

  • Usually takes 5-8 sessions

  • Healing time 4-5 weeks

  • Procedure: 90 mins

What is the UNDO Non-Laser Tattoo Removal System?

We offer a 3 step non laser , non saline tattoo removal system created to safely remove all ink and pigments from any skin tone without over traumatizing the skin.

Step 1. Deracination Serum:

 

Step 1 serum contains natural active ingredients such as bentonite and activated charcoal as well as aloe leaf extract and hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate. This serum is designed to “wake up” the dormant ink in the skin and pull it to the surface, while simultaneously hydrating the skin from the deeper layer and improving elasticity in order for it to heal smoother and quicker.​

Step 2. Lifting Clay Mask:

 

This clay mask has a unique composition and can act as a magnet that binds toxins as well as any additional ink brought to the surface during the process. People have been using calcium bentonite clay for centuries as a method to detoxify the body and improve skin tone.

Step 3- Healing microcurrent mask:

 

Healing masks soothe the irritated skin and help skin heal quicker with smoother skin and without scar tissue, which enables us to cut down the recovery time after treatments and expedite the healing process in between sessions for faster results (typically about 4 weeks versus 6-8 weeks).

I found elevate studio on Instagram, saw a video promoting BB glow. I have suffered from rosacea and redness of the skin most of my life.  I have paid thousands on expensive laser treatments and I saw improvements but the redness was still prevalent even after years of treatment. I reached out to Elevate You studio and Judy was very attentive, informative and helpful before my appointment, and really made me comfortable throughout the whole process. After my 1st session, I saw instant results, my face was smoother, softer and my redness was greatly reduced. I am thrilled with how my skin looks, and this is only after ONE session, I can't wait to see how my skin continues to improve. Judy has been just as helpful after the session, informing me of best after care practices and checking in periodically to see how my skin is reacting to treatment. I highly recommend you book with Judy for a Bb glow facial , you won't regret it.
