How It Works

FadeMark™ is applied by a radiation therapist and guarantees the patient receives a safe tattoo designed to last through the course of a radiation therapy program, not for life.

The Ink

Made of medical grade bioabsorbable and biocompatible polymers commonly found in medical devices such as absorbable sutures and meniscal tacks. Safety studies are being conducted by Henry Ford Health System.

Application

Sterile, for single use only. Ink can be applied using tattoo machines, electronic microblade pens or manual microblade disposable pens. A complimentary microblade pen is included with each unit of ink.

Benefits

Patients will no longer have a tattoo that serves as a permanent reminder of their cancer treatment. An ideal product for those with an aversion to traditional tattoos, either due to religious or personal reasons.

Reliable Application

Sterile. Biocompatible. Mix. Shake. Apply.

Insert carrier solution into container with powder.

“It was very traumatic to hear that I had cancer and told at the same time that I would need permanent tattoos for the treatment…No one likes to be forced into a decision that isn’t right for you, and you don’t want reminders when you make it past your 5-year mark of surviving cancer”

- Debby G. cancer survivor

Confidence. Without permanence.

In radiation therapy, precise marking is critical. But that precision shouldn't come at the cost of permanence.

Ephemeral Ink gives clinicians and patients reliable visibilit during treatment- and complete freedom afterward.

Note: Full fade time can range from 6- 20 months, or even shorter or longer than this range, depending on skin type, ink placement and immune response

FadeMark™ offers the same exact treatment efficacy of a permanent tattoo, while offering the added benefit of not being permanent ensuring patients have an option other than living with a permanent reminder of their journey with cancer.

Safety studies have been conducted by Henry Ford Health Systems. See our Documents section for references.

Radiation therapy and chemotherapy are both cancer treatments that can have similar goals, but they differ in how they treat cancer cells and the areas of the body they target.

Radiation therapy: Uses high-energy beams like X-rays or protons to damage the DNA of cancer cells in a specific area of the body. Radiation therapy is also known as radiotherapy.

Chemotherapy: Uses drugs that circulate through the bloodstream to kill or shrink cancer cells almost anywhere in the body. Chemotherapy is also known as "chemo".
