About the treatment:

How long does the treatment take?

The first step is to have a thorough consultation. In this part of the process, we will go through your medical history and discuss the surgery you have undergone (or have planned). This then ensures you receive the most suitable treatment that will give you the best outcome. Areola tattooing usually takes 2 sessions 6-8 weeks apart. Each session may take up to 3 hours.

What happens during each treatment?

Whatever your desired outcome, you will receive the most personalised treatment. From the shape, size, placement, and colourings, you will be fully involved in the process to develop the right solution, just for you. This stage will involve measuring and marking the areola and nipple complex using temporary markers and perfectly blending pigment shades to match your skin, giving a natural look. Once you are happy with your design, specialist tattooing techniques will be used to skilfully implant the specialist medical grade pigment into your skin creating a natural, true-to-life 3D nipple and areola.

How will it feel afterward?

Usually, the area around your treatment may be fairly red for 36 hours. A sterile dressing will be applied which you wear under your clothes for up to 5 days.

Do you provide aftercare?

For all treatments, full aftercare advice and complimentary aftercare products are included.
