The hidden power of medical tattooing
In this episode Dr Hilary speaks with Rae Denman, one of the UK’s leading specialists in medical tattooing — a treatment used to camouflage scars, birthmarks and skin grafts, and to restore natural colour after surgery.

Also in the episode:
• The woman who covered her birthmark every day for 30 years
• How a tattoo can restore what surgery can’t
• The link between skin, confidence, and identity
