No but we highly recommend it. At SEPEMA, we offer free 30-minute in-clinic consultations and 15-minute virtual consultations, via WhatsApp. This allows me to assess your skin, discuss your goals, and ensure you are a suitable candidate for the treatment. For paramedical work, you can also text photos to 0450 035 798 for a preliminary assessment.

Cosmetic tattooing (also called semi-permanent makeup or micropigmentation) is the art of depositing pigment into the upper layers of the skin to enhance, define, or restore features. Unlike body tattoos, cosmetic pigments are formulated to fade gradually over time, giving you the flexibility to adjust your look as trends and preferences evolve. At SEPEMA, we use this technique for lip blush, eyebrow tattooing, areola restoration, and skin camouflage.

Cosmetic tattooing focuses on enhancing features — think fuller lips, defined brows, or a more even skin tone. Paramedical tattooing is about restoration and healing — correcting, camouflaging, or repairing skin that has been affected by surgery, trauma, or medical conditions. Many clients come to SEPEMA for both. For example, someone may have scar revision work done alongside lip or brow tattooing.

Natural results are at the heart of everything we do at SEPEMA. We believe any treatment — whether it's a lip blush or a scar camouflage — should look like the best version of you, not like something that was done to you. We custom-blend every pigment to suit your individual skin tone, undertone, and eye colour, and we take our time with mapping and colour selection before a single drop of pigment touches your skin. The goal is always for people to say "you look great" — not "did you get something done?"

All treatments at SEPEMA are performed by Ally Dellabarca, a specialist cosmetic and paramedical tattoo artist with 4 years of experience and extensive formal training both in Australia and abroad. Ally is passionate about providing quality, long lasting healed results.

Paramedical tattooing goes beyond aesthetics — it uses specialised tattooing techniques to address medical and reconstructive concerns. At SEPEMA, our paramedical services include scar revision, stretch mark removal, skin camouflage for skin grafts, vitiligo, and burns, and areola restoration for those who have undergone breast surgery. These treatments are designed to restore both the appearance and confidence of people living with conditions that affect their skin.

Yes. SEPEMA receives referrals from surgeons, particularly for scar revision work following procedures such as facelifts, breast surgeries, and other reconstructive operations. This speaks to the clinical standard of care we provide and the results we are able to achieve. If your surgeon has recommended paramedical tattooing as part of your recovery, we'd love to support your journey.
