Micro pigmentation is a form of tattooing using semi permanent pigments and fine needles. The colour is matched to an individual and tattooed into the dermal lay of the skin and the areola is designed by the technician to replicate as much as possible so that the areola looks 3D and realistic.
The procedure takes about 60 minutes and the area is numbed (if required) using a topical numbing cream.
The pigment fades over time and clients can expect to have a colour boost after 2 years, this depends on many factors such as skin type, lifestyle.
most of my clients have said that they feel no pain during the treatment and area absolutely delighted with the realistic result.
For breast augmentation, clients are normally left with a halo around the areola, this can be covered by means of micro-pigmentation by tattooing around the area to match their areola colour.
Treatment for areola can only be carried out on any client whose medical treatments have been completed and they are a year post treatment.
