AREOLA

What is areola and nipple tattooing?

Areola and nipple restoration is a specific area of aesthetic tattooing that requires advanced education, good vision, and tons of experience. Areola and nipple tattoos help rebuild not only appearance but also the internal emotional state of both women and men who have undergone any kind of breast surgery. Micropigmentation techniques can recreate shape and color and even completely restore an areola and nipple to a more realistic look. With areola and nipple tattooing, Valeria can hide or minimize the visibility of scar tissue and burns, giving the skin the same color as the surrounding area.

Nipple tattoos can be useful for: 

• post mastectomy;

• areola burns;

• scars after breast augmentation or reduction;

• injury scars;

• lack of natural areola pigment;

• areola and nipple shape unevenness.

Nipple tattooing process

Nipple tattoo is a 2-4 time procedure, with each session lasting 1-2 hours. Only by doing repeat visits at least one month apart it’s possible to match the color and achieve the best results. Do not be concerned about the sensations during the procedure. As a rule, nipple tattooing doesn't cause any pain, just mild discomfort, and numbing cream is applied if needed. After the procedure, a transparent dressing is applied over the treatment area to protect it, which must be kept on for 3-5 days. The dressing can then be removed and you can wash the area thoroughly, taking showers as you normally would during this period. Areola and nipple tattoos are permanent, though some touch-ups may be needed in a few years to maintain results.

When it comes to an intimate area, it’s extremely important to get natural looking results. Valeria uses a specific pigment set, which include custom shades designed for areola work that can guarantee natural results. To avoid unexpected outcomes, be careful when choosing a technician. A personal consultation prior to the entire micropigmentation process would be a great start to find the right professional for you. Don’t hesitate to contact Valeria for any additional questions about areola and nipple tattoo treatment or to schedule a free consultation.
