Prior to the treatment, you will have a personal medical consultation which will explore your medical history in detail. In order to ensure the correct outcome, I will need to understand what surgery or treatments you have had (or are planned for the future).

We will then talk with you about your desired outcome from the treatment and what you want to achieve. Knowing this will help me to work with you, to develop a solution that meets your needs. In addition to that, I’ll naturally take into account other factors such as your skin tone and breast shape and size.

During the design phase I will put my make-up artist hat on and literally draw your new areola/nipple onto your skin. You will be fully involved in this process. I will be your guide, but you will be the one to approve exactly what everything looks like.

Finally, we will work on your colors. Depending on how natural, subtle or strong you want the result, I will custom blend my colors to perfectly match your requirements. Again, you will be fully involved in this part of the process.

THE TREATMENT

Next, it’s time for the magic which is medical tattooing. The treatment itself involves gently implanting microscopic particles of pigment into the reticular layer of the skin. The special equipment used is refined, quiet and gentle. The treatment time will depend on your requirements and the treatment required. You should set aside 2 to 4 hours for your initial appointment.

AFTER THE TREATMENT

Your healed result will tend to look darker in appearance. However, this will soften in a few days, the color will lighten considerably. You will need to follow a simple aftercare routine which involves basic care of the area and application of a gentle balm. After a few days the color will gradually settle and increase in a pleasing intensity over the next few weeks.

Depending on your treatment and degree of scarring, it could be that you require more than one appointment; however, this is entirely dependent on your individual circumstances and requirements.
