Scars can define your life and affect how you feel. Firstly, scars can have a negative effect on your self-confidence. Secondly, they can even hinder your daily functioning. Camouflaging scars or colouring scars, is one of the many possibilities with permanent make-up. This form of permanent make-up is called medical tattooing or medical cosmetics.
Irregularities and color differences caused by scars after surgery or an accident are camouflaged using a special technique. A common treatment is nipple and areola tattooing after breast surgery for breast cancer. Scars can also form after an accident. Depending on the stage of the scar, almost any scar can be camouflaged.
I retouch scars virtually painlessly, using refined technique and precision equipment to make scars almost invisible. After a treatment, you view the result and feel complete and whole again.
An operation or accident can leave nasty scars that mark your life. A medical tattoo on the spot can camouflage your scars making them barely visible. With the help of refined equipment and my specialisation, I can apply pigments accurately and in detail. You can find more about scar colouring here.
Every treatment begins with a thorough analysis of the skin. This allows me to determine the correct pigmentation colour. The scar is given a colour that is in harmony with the surrounding skin and similar to, or example, the other nipple. At nipple and areola tattooing, you can read more about the specific procedure. The procedure for scar camouflaging can be found here.
I work closely with various doctors and specialists.
I am far from able to color all scars using dermatography or other medical tattooing techniques. This depends on, among other things, the stage the scar is in, as well as how the scar has developed over the years. Below you will find an overview:

Pigmentation for a nipple/areola tattoo is (virtually) painless, as there is usually no sensation in the breast. The only thing my clients feel is the vibration of the equipment.
Thanks to my latest equipment and a soothing cream, pigmentation or tattooing is virtually painless. You may always take a painkiller beforehand such as paracetamol or Dafalgan.
Are you menstruating? Then permanent make-up and medical tattoo application may be more painful.
I advise against alcohol, caffeine and aspirin on the day of the treatment. This affects sensitivity.
You can also apply Emla cream yourself beforehand. This is available on prescription at the pharmacy. Read the instructions for use of the Emla ointment carefully and don’t forget to cover the ointment with the supplied foil patch.
For the first 2-3 days after the treatment, the pigmentation is much darker than the intended result. Due to your natural cell renewel, the final colour result of the pigmentation will only become visible after 3 to 5 weeks.
I will of course explain everything to you beforehand during a free telephone consultation.
First of all, we have an extensive telephone consultation after you have been referred by the plastic surgeon. During this, I aim to gain inside your personal profile and medical status. Tis allows me to accurately map out the pigmentation, as the shape and colour of the nipple and areola reconstruction ultimately determine the result.
You must wait at least six weeks after the last surgery (nipple reconstruction), permission from the surgeon or doctor is needed and your physical and mental condition must be in order. And when you are ready, you will close a chapter of your life with this medical tattoo. It’s not that you forget this period, but you do need to come to terms with it.

Yes, scars can be coloured in with permanent make-up. This is also known as medical tattooing, or dermopigmentation. But, not every scar is suitable for permanent make-up, you can read more about this under Colouring scars.
Breast surgery due to cancer is a life-changing event and usually leaves scars. You may lose your nipple entirely or partially due to this surgery. For many women (and men), seeing yourself in the mirror without a nipple or areola has a huge impact. That does something to you. A breast without a nipple, a blind spot. A nipple tattoo helps and supports recovery after breast cancer. A nipple tattoo can support in preservation and restoring of your body’s appearance, you can read more about that here.

I work with precision equipment to tattoo (camouflage) scars for a detailed ‘drawing’. There are various methods I apply using special techniques. I take the strength of the skin and scar tissue as my starting point. I examine this beforehand and then determine whether to draw by hand or use equipment.
I specialise in applying medical tattoos. Thanks to the detailed working methods, the colours and the refined techniques, among other things, it is possible to create a 3D effect. I use safe and approved pigmentation fluid, ensuring you get a beautiful and natural result.
The pigments I use for medical tattooing fade less quickly. After the treatment, you will also receive instructions on how to enjoy your permanently beautiful eyebrows for a long time. The procedure for medical tattooing describes the treatment step-by-step.
Hi Janny,
Totally forgot to say, always think about it at the wrong times, but that laser worked extremely well. Actually, it took it away/lightened it and now it’s nicely opaque. Just like the first colour was years ago.
Have a nice day!
Two years ago, I underwent chemotherapy. After several painful months, I lost my hair as well as my eyebrows. Fortunately, I overcame my illness. After a while, my head hair came back. However, my eyebrows stopped growing. It seemed as if my face had no expression left. Moreover, I felt naked and very uncomfortable. But Permanent Mooi gave me eyebrows and a natural facial expression again. I feel happy and complete again.
When I entered the menopause, I noticed that my lips became lighter and thinner and also lost my volume. As his eyebrows hu I no longer felt attractive, I knocked on Permanent Mooi’s door. Janny managed to make me feel beautiful again without plastic surgery. I chose a permanent lip liner that gave my lips more colour and volume, an emerald green thin eye-liner, and extra hairs between my eyebrows thanks to the hairstroke technique. My face is radiant again and so am I.
