Meet the Owner
Hey Loves! I'm Yasmeen Alcindor; call me Yas. I've been in the medical field for over 20 years as a Director of Rehabilitation, licensed in Occupational Therapy, as well as a Certified Health and Spiritual Coach. Due to the continuous, drastic changes in the healthcare system, I it was becoming harder to provide the type of care that my patients required and deserved. Hands-on patient care turned into non-stop paperwork and battles with insurance companies to provide patients with the bare minimum. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and discovered the world of paramedical tattooing. Not only am I now able to help people feel better about themselves in various aspects of their lives, but I am also able to do so on my own terms.
Specializing in stretchmark rejuvenation (SMR) and stretchmark/scar camouflage is just the tip of the iceberg. I gravitated towards these treatments as I have had issues with both. Stretchmarks have been embedded in my skin since I hit puberty. When I was younger, I had no issues with my tiger claw marks. They were just an indicator of being slim-thick lol. And that was fine with me. But when I became pregnant, everything changed. Gaining a lot of weight so rapidly destroyed my body. But having my beautiful boy was a blessing and made it worthwhile. I just learned to wear things that covered the parts of my body that I didn't want to be seen, even when I didn't want to wear certain items. I also had several scars after requiring open heart surgery. Dr.'s told me that the only way to cover the scars was to have an additional surgery to obtain a skin graft from another part of my body, which would of course, cause more scars. (Make it make sense 😒). Needless to say, that was a no-go. So, I dealt with both issues, affecting my mood and self-esteem for years! I wish paramedical tattoo services were available to me back then. But how exciting is it that SMR is readily available now and that it's also extremely effective?! I'm so happy that I am able to offer and perform these services for my clients.
At the end of the day, everyone is perfectly imperfect. And although it is important to love the skin you're in, it's as equally important to understand that it's also a personal journey. Seeing marks on your body can be as simple as just not liking what is seen to having a constant reminder of a traumatic event. We're not just enhancing outer beauty over here, we're restoring confidence and helping people heal physically, mentally, and emotionally. It really is a whole transformation and I look forward to continuing to expand my services with doing something that I love... helping others heal.
Stay Blessed,
Yas
Paramedical Tattoo
Advanced Stretchmark Rejuvenation (SMR) also known as Inkless Stretchmark Rejuvenation, involves making controlled micro abrasions to stretchmarks while depositing a combination of medical grade serums, +/or natural oils and vitamins into the dermis layer of the skin. This results in improving cellular turnover, reconstruction, and rejuvenation of fibroblast cells, promoting collagen and elastin production. This treatment works best for all textured stretchmarks. I offer different formulas pertaining to your needs, including a vegan solution. A series of two sessions 6 weeks apart is recommended for best results. However, majority of clients see between 30-90% improvement with one session. Infared RED LED therapy included for additional healing benefits.
Scar Lightening/Scar resurfacing is for clients with hyperpigmentation (when your scar is DARKER than your natural skin tone) and for textured scars associated with acne, breast lifts, tummy tucks, injury scars, C-sections, etc... (not keloids or hypertrophic-raised scars). Camouflaging scars can only be performed on scars that are lighter than your skin tone. If darker, it must be brought down prior to camouflaging services. Scars must be at least 1 year old to treat. This may require 1-4 sessions depending on desired results.
Stretchmark/Scar Camouflaging (AKA Brazilian Camouflage) uses flesh tone pigments to match those unwanted stretchmarks, scars, and areas with hypopigmentation as in vitiligo (in remission), white scars, and white stretchmarks. Pigments are carefully selected for this treatment to gently fade and leave a soft skin-like color under your skin. 1-4 sessions are recommended. This treatment requires touch-ups approximately every 2-3 years.
3D Areola Reconstruction and Restoration uses restores the color, size and shape of the areola. This procedure is usually the last step for major breast relates surgeries including breast reduction, mastectomies, reconstruction, or implants. Areola restoration is a skilled, delicate artistic specialty in the field of paramedical tattooing. Whether you require unilateral or bilateral breasts, partial or complete restoration, I work closely with all my clients to achieve your specific, tailored goals.
Needleless Fillers
With the use of hyaluronic pens, hyaluronic acid (which is produced naturally in the body) is safely inserted into the skin, without the use of needles, to combat issues such as shallow facial wrinkles, papillary folds, and areas that lose natural volume. Also with this device, you can correct the shape of facial and body parts including filling in hip dips, adding volume to buttocks/hips, facial balancing, correcting shapes of the lips, nose, jawline, chin, and much more.
