Restoration, done clinically

3D areola restoration before and after following breast reconstruction, Restorative Ink by Rebecca Matthews

3D Areola Restoration

Hyper-realistic areola and nipple restoration following mastectomy and breast reconstruction. Dimensional shading recreates natural color, projection, and symmetry — the final step in many patients' reconstruction journey.

Scar Camouflage & Dark Scar Correction

Specialized treatment for surgical scars, traumatic scars, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, using camouflage or inkless revision — with dedicated protocols for darker scars and melanin-rich skin where standard techniques fall short.

Inkless stretch mark revision before and after on the abdomen

Stretch Mark Revision

Inkless revision and camouflage treatments that recondition the skin and reduce the visible contrast of stretch marks — restoring a more even tone and texture, no pigment required.

Hair follicle restoration before and after showing restored density on thinning hair

Hair Follicle Restoration

Scalp micropigmentation that replicates natural hair follicles, restoring the appearance of density for thinning hair and hair loss — for women and men.
