AREOLA RESTORATION

This procedure restores the natural appearance of the nipple and areola following breast surgeries like mastectomy or reconstruction, helping clients regain confidence and complete their healing journey.

Areola restoration suits most skin types. During your consultation, we assess your skin and scar tissue to customize pigment color and technique for optimal results. Discuss your individual case with our licensed PMU artists to determine the best approach.

• Consultation to select nipple size, placement, and pigment colors
• Skin and scar tissue evaluation to tailor the technique
• Application of pigment using a professional PMU machine with gentle, precise strokes
• Procedure typically takes 1 to 2 hours

Most clients experience minimal discomfort, generally less than traditional tattooing. Topical numbing is applied to ensure your comfort.

• Healing typically takes around 4 weeks
• Peeling and scabbing occur between days 7 to 10 — do not pick scabs to avoid pigment loss or infection
• Follow specific aftercare instructions for best healing and color retention

Option 1: Tegaderm Bandage

• Apply Tegaderm for 5–7 days (may remove naturally or gently peel off)
• Avoid if allergic to adhesive

Option 2: Tefla Bandage

• Use Tefla bandages secured inside a bra with paper tape
• Change bandage daily to maintain hygiene

Results last several years, with periodic touch-ups recommended to maintain vibrant, natural-looking color.

Coverage varies by insurance provider and plan. Many plans cover areola restoration as part of post-mastectomy breast reconstruction, but coverage is not guaranteed. We offer a free consultation and insurance verification to help you understand your benefits.

Inkless Stretch Marks Revision may be right for you if:

• You have white, silver, or light-colored stretch marks
• Your stretch marks are at least 12 months old and fully healed
• Your skin is not prone to keloids or excessive hyperpigmentation
• You want natural improvement without adding color or ink

While some clients see noticeable improvement after just one session, multiple sessions (usually 2–3) may be required for optimal results. Every skin type and body responds differently.

• Second session is scheduled 60 days after the first, once the skin is fully healed.

Days 1–5:

• Redness, inflammation, and mild itching are normal.
• Apply cream as directed to soothe the area.

Weeks 1–2:

• Collagen production begins.
• Redness fades; slight skin tone changes may occur.

Weeks 2–3:

• Treated skin may darken temporarily as part of the healing.
• This is normal—the area will lighten again as pigment settles.

Weeks 4–8:

• Skin tone evens out and blends with surrounding tissue.
• The healing process completes and texture visibly improves.

First 4 Hours:

• Leave cling film or bandage in place for 3–4 hours.
• Avoid showering during this period if possible.

After 24 Hours:

• Gently cleanse area using pH-neutral soap.
• Apply aftercare serum or cream 2–3 times daily in a thin layer.

Days 7–10:

• Continue applying aftercare product.
• Avoid: sauna, jacuzzi, steam rooms, chlorinated pools, and direct sun exposure.

After 30 Days:

• Avoid products with strong acids or retinol on the treated area.
• Use SPF 50+ on the area once healing is complete to prevent discoloration.
