3D NIPPLE AND AREOLA TATTOOING

Is a 3D cosmetic/ medical tattoo procedure for anyone who may have had total loss, irregularity or inconsistency in their areolas and/or nipples, typically after breast reconstructive surgery.

Most people who have areola tattoos are survivors of breast cancer who have undergone a single or double mastectomy, those who carry the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation and undergo preventative mastectomies are also suitable candidates for this treatment.

THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER MEDICAL AND COSMETIC REASONS FOR THIS PROCEDURE:

* Breast Augmentation or Reduction

* Gender Reassignment

* Nipple/ Areola colour enhancement or resizing

* Inverted or flat nipples

This procedure can be performed 6 months post surgery and generally needs 2 sessions 6 weeks apart.

Each session can take 3 - 4 hours.

All treatments are personalised, from colour matching to shape, size and placement.

MCA

This is a complementary service i offer to those that have the nipple and areola tattooing and have scars from surgery.

MCA, or Multi Trepanic Collagen Actuation, (also known as dry needling) is a form of micro needling in which a gentle trauma is caused to the skin's surface to encourage re-healing in an area of scarring.

The trauma caused to the area is very slight, but enough to trigger the reaction to improve the visual appearance of scars.

For people whose lives have been changed by cancer, scarring or transitioning, this can mark the end of a long and difficult journey.

AFTER MCA

WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE DAY

* ALLOW 3 - 4 HOURS FOR YOUR INITIAL TREATMENT AND 1-2 HOURS FOR YOUR 6 WEEK RETOUCH APPOINTMENT

* COMPLETE CONSULATION FORMS - We also have a chat about colours / colour matching, sizing and shape.

* PRE DRAW - I map out the shape using stencils and a pencil. You get to check the shape before i start tattooing.

* PREFORM THE TREATMENT - This part can take around 3 - 3.5 hours. The area is kept comfortable throughout

and i find majority of clients fall asleep.

* AFTERCARE - Immediately after the area can be brighter / darker in colour, the skin can be red and you may have

minor sensitivity. They are then healing on the surface for the first 2 weeks and this is when you have to follow the

aftercare that i give you to get optimum results.

* RETOUCH - This is carried out at around 6 weeks. This is like a second coat of paint. It is a perfecting appointment to add

more colour or tweak the shape to make sure they are perfect.
