About skin rehab lab
Meet Cheryl,
A Paramedical Micropigmentologist also known as a Medical Tattoo Artist. &
Founder of Skin Rehab Lab
I specialize in tattooing on compromised skin such as areola, scars and stretchmarks to improve their appearance using unique and state of the art micro-pigmentation tattoo techniques. I help people feel better about their scars and stretchmarks, so they can be comfortable in their skin.
I've faced my fair share of life's curveballs. Yet, through the journey my guiding purpose always reveals itself. Life is an unpredictable adventure, and I have undoubtably found my life's work.
My why. My mother passed away at 49 from breast cancer, in my continued love legacy for her, I gained several certifications in Areola Paramedical Tattooing. In a way, helping others keeps her with me. Flash forward to my own experience being bitten by a dog in the face. Not only was the experience traumatic, but it became my mission to correct my scar, to become whole again inside and out and find a way to get my face and confidence back.
I tried everything possible, have firsthand knowledge of scarring which became an incredible foundation for further development of my Paramedical Scar & Stretchmark certifications and continued education. Years of research coupled with the best protocol based on my knowledge and 10 X certifications has brought me here.
According to my artistic vision, the effectiveness of medical tattoo procedures can be attributed to careful diligence, precise needle work, persistent research, and testing of novel techniques considering factors like skin sensitivity, race, and type.
Thus far, the experience has transformed both my life and the lives of my clients. My life now revolves heavily around practice, clinicals, traveling to obtain ongoing higher education to give my clients the best care possible.
There is something that heals within me alongside my clients.
What is Scar Camouflage exactly...
Scar Reduction - Pre-Camouflage
The Inkless method is performed 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. This important step prepares the scar to have a better color retention for scar camouflage sessions.
Distinct types of needles are used depending on the scar tissue, just enough to cause controlled damage to the scarred area. This minor trauma stimulates blood flow to the area and triggers the body’s natural healing process. The 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 proper after care provided by different stages of wound healing, can maximize the result of the treatment, and lightens hyperpigmented scars as well.

- Consultation: Here at Skin Rehab Lab serving Henderson, Las Vegas, Summerlin and our out of state clients. We will take time to discuss your need and concern, assess your scar/stretchmarks, and a treatment plan for Medical Tattoo 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.

- Healing: We will apply a healing ointment to protect the irritated skin and, if necessary, a light dressing. Healing time varies by person, but in most cases, minor irritation will subside by the 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.

- Refrain from exercising for the first 3 days.
- Do not directly wash the treated area with soap on the first and second day.
- On the third day, you can begin using soap on the treated area, preferably opting for an antiseptic and antibacterial variety. Avoid scented soap bars to prevent potential allergic reactions.
- Avoid direct sun exposure until any pigmentation has completely faded, typically around 6-8 weeks.
- Avoid indoor pools and Jacuzzis for 10 days to minimize the risk of infections.
- Do not apply body lotion to the treated area for one month.
- Apply unscented A&D ointment every morning for two months, starting the day after your appointment.

The Benefits of Scar Camouflage Medical Tattoo
Scar Camouflage Tattooing, a novel technique used in the world of skin camouflage design, promises a revolutionary solution for those seeking to conceal the presence of scars on their skin. This groundbreaking technique hinges on the application of scar camouflage makeup, which is permanently tattooed onto the skin to blend with your natural skin tone. The objective is simple; to make scars less noticeable.
Scar Camouflage Medical Tattooing involves implanting pigment into the skin. However, instead of creating visible designs, skin camouflage techniques are used to mimic the natural appearance of your skin. This technique takes an artistic approach, with an expert tattooist meticulously matching the color of your skin to create a seamless blend. This sophisticated process can take multiple sessions, but the results are undoubtedly worth the time and effort.
Scar Camouflage Tattooing Can Transform Your Appearance & Self Esteem
The Micropigmentation procedure involved in Scar Camouflage Tattooing goes beyond skin-deep. The results offer not only a transformative change in appearance but also a significant boost to one's self-esteem.
Skin camouflage is an intricate procedure that requires the expertise of a proficient artist. The micropigmentation procedure, similar to traditional tattooing, requires the artist to insert tiny particles of pigment into the uppermost layer of the skin, creating a long-lasting cover-up.
The Benefits of Scar Camouflage Medical Tattoos
The application of scar cover-up tattoos offers far-reaching benefits that extend beyond aesthetics. Primarily, these tattoos help individuals reclaim their confidence by providing a long-lasting solution to scar visibility.
The use of tattooing/microneedling for scars is an effective technique incorporated into this process. Microneedling (tattooing) stimulates the skin's natural healing abilities, encouraging collagen production and skin regeneration. This aids in improving the texture and appearance of the scarred area, further enhancing the effectiveness.
Lastly, the psychological benefits of scar camouflage tattoos cannot be understated. For many, scars can be a constant reminder of a traumatic event or an aspect of their appearance they wish to change. Scar camouflage tattoos can help lessen this psychological burden, offering individuals a renewed sense of self-confidence and freedom from past traumas. The outcome is more than skin-deep; it's about regaining control and embracing one's skin with renewed self-assurance.

3D Areola Realism Tattoo | Blushing & Neutralization
3D Areola Tattoo & Areola Restoration
At skin rehab lab, we specialize in 3D Areola Realism. Creating realism for areola restoration involves shading and the use of more than one color for the three-dimensional, Illusion of Protrusion, effect.

Slow Down The Baldness Phenomenon:
With Procell Stem Cell MicroChanneling
Among men and even women, baldness is a dreaded phenomenon. It can appear very early, from adolescence, or a few years later. What is certain is that if it is programmed into your genetics, you will not escape it. However, there are modern techniques that can slow down this process.
American scientists have developed a new generation of technology called Procell stem cell Microchanneling (microneedling). It consists of a gun with a circular end, this machine works by mechanical movement, creating micro perforations on the skin without traumatizing it. It will also release a serum with natural components, which will provide the nutrients necessary for the proper functioning of cells.
Concretely, its role is to activate and stimulate cellular growth of the scalp with the aim of slowing down or even stopping the baldness process. Procell acts as physical training for the skin in order to improve its results. Of course, as in any training, the results are only visible after a certain time, with several annual sessions. These will depend on the level of progress of the baldness

Treatment
How does a Microchanneling Treatment stimulate cellular activity? A single treatment creates hundreds of thousands of microchannels. In response to each micro-injury, an inflammatory healing process begins which initiates the formation of new collagen. Over time, the repeated healing process improves the surface texture and the overall appearance of the skin.

What is Microchanneling?
Microchanneling will keep your skin looking and feeling younger by activating your body's natural regenerative ability to help tighten and lift skin, while minimizing many common skin problems.
Microchanneling stimulates your body's natural ability to generate new healthy skin rather than utilizing destructive and inflammatory techniques like many treatments in the aesthetic industry. This results in a more enjoyable treatment, virtually non-existent downtime, and happier skin. Microchanneling can also improve the overall health of your skin by stimulating the rejuvenation cascade for new collagen production.
You age, visibly and invisibly, every day. Sun damage, internal inflammation, chemicals, and even gravity all work against the youthful vitality of your skin. As we get older, our ability to repair this constant damage diminishes dramatically. Since fewer regenerative stem cells survive to carry on the work, slower, less robust healing and greater levels of inflammation are inevitable, resulting in skin blemishes that become more and more pronounced as you age
