>> Eden: WELCOME BACK TO RIVER
CITY LIVE.
IF YOU HAVE A SCAR OR AN AREA ON
YOUR SKIN THAT YOU JUST CAN'T
STAND TO LOOK AT, THIS COULD BE
FOR YOU.
WE MET UP WITH SOMEBODY WHO
IMPERFECTIONS AND WITHOUT
SURGERY, SO I GRABBED MY PHONE
AND I HEADED OVER TO TOPNOTCH
JAMES.
TAKE A LOOK.
SCARS, THEY COME IN ALL SHAPES,
SIZES AND SEVERITY.
GOOGLE "SCAR REMOVAL" AND YOU'LL
FIND DOZENS OF SOLUTIONS,
RANGING FROM MAKEUP TO COVER IT
UP, TO PLASTIC SURGERY.
SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THESE
IS WHERE YOU'LL FIND THE SERVICE
PROVIDED BY NIKKIJAMES AT
TOPNOTCH.
THE SERVICES INCLUDING LASH
EXTENSIONS, PERMANENT MAKE UP,
MICR BLADING EYEBROWS AND
HAIRLINES, SHE DOES CAMOUFLAGE,
A TECHNIQUE THAT TATTOOS
PIGMENTS INTO YOUR SKIN.
>> WE CAMOUFLAGE A SCAR, LIKE
PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD PATCHES
REMOVE AND HAVE LOST
PIGMENTATION.
AND WE CAN TATTOO OVER IT TO
WHERE IT HAS THE SKIN TONE
COLOR, AS WELL AS ANY OTHER SCAR
IF YOU HAVE A DARKER PIGMENTED
SCAR I CAN ALSO COVER IT UP AND
MAKE IT LIGHTER SO IT BLENDS IN
WITH YOUR SKIN.
IT REALLY HELPS WITH PEOPLES'
CONFIDENCE.
>> Eden: SHE CAN SO MANY
DIFFERENT EXAMPLES.
>> THIS WAS A GIRL WHO HAD A
ANKLE.
THAT IS ACTUALLY HER ANKLE OF
HER LEG.
AND WHEN IT WAS REMOVED AND
HEALED UP I PATCHED OVER IT AND
COVERED IT UP PRETTY FULLY FOR
HER.
>> Eden: SO MY IMPERFECTION IS
A PATCH OF SKIN THAT SIMPLY HAS
NO PIGMENT.
IT'S BEEN THIS WAY SINCE
CHILDHOOD.
IT.
I DECIDED TO GIVE NIKKI'S
PERMANENT SOLUTION A TRY.
>> I CAN FOR SURE COVER THAT
UP, BLEND IT IN.
LET'S DO THIS.
>> Eden: IT FEELS LIKE IT IS
BEING SCRATCHED.
LIKE?
>> A TATTOO BY ME.
>> Eden: YEAH, THIS IS ME
GETTING MY FIRST TATTOO.
THERE IS A HEALING PROCESS SO AT
THE TIME OF THIS TAPING, I
DIFFERENCE.
BUT I CAN TELL THAT ONCE THE
AREA HEAL, THE PROCESS WORKED
WONDER
THIS IS WHAT WE CALL THE BIG
REVEAL.
IT STILL NEEDS TIME HEALING, BUT
THIS IS THE AREA.
IT IS NIGHT AND DAY.
IT'S BEEN A WEEK.
JUST A WEEK.
>> Eden: YEAH, AND THIS IS ONE
EXAMPLE OF HOW THIS WORKS.
THIS IS A COUPLE HUNDRED BUCKS,
DEPENDING ON HOW LONG IT TAKES.
IF IT IS A LARGER AREA THAT
TAKES A LOT LONGER IT IS GOING
TO BE MORE THAN THAT.
BUT IT IS WORTH -- THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN PLAGUING
YOU, IT IS WORTH IT.
>> Mark: IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING
SIMILAR TO THAT YOU WANT TO
COVER UP AND YOU DON'T HAVE A
LOT OF OPTIONS AND IT SEEMS LIKE
HAPPENING.
>> Rance: I HAD NO IDEA WHEN
YOU SAID YOU WERE GETTING
RIGHT.
THAT IS AWESOME.
>> Eden: SOMETHING THAT IS
INTERESTING IS WHEN THEY REMOVE
TATTOOS, WHEN YOU GET THEM
LASERED OFF, A LOT OF TIMES IT
LEAVES BEHIND WHITE WHERE THERE
IS ONCE PIGMENT.
IF YOUR SKIN IS RANCE'S COLOR
YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE WHITE
WHERE -- SO SHE SHOWED ME SOME
PICTURES SHE DID WHERE SHE COULD
COLOR.
JUST LIKE SHE DID WITH ME.
SO IT ACTUALLY MAKES A BIG
DIFFERENCE.
IT IS VERY, VERY COOL.
