Scar Repair Silicone Gel
Medical-grade silicone is the gold standard for protecting freshly treated tissue. Used twice daily after paramedical and camouflage tattoo appointments, it keeps the area hydrated, softens texture, reduces redness, and locks in your results during the critical settling weeks.
Healing Support SPF 40
Healing Support SPF 40 is the daily UV armor we send home with clients receiving paramedical and camouflage tattoo appointments. Broad-spectrum mineral SPF prevents pigment shift, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and premature fading — apply every morning, reapply mid-day.
Calm Flow Water Cream
A lightweight gel-cream built for the reactive, dehydrated skin most clients experience after paramedical and camouflage tattoo appointments. Peptides and humectants calm flushing, rebuild the moisture barrier, and absorb without occluding — safe to layer over actives and SPF.
