We are experts at applying pigment to the skin

    AREOLA TATTOOING

    We create a natural-looking areola after surgery

    Areola Tattooing uses micropigmentation to implant pigments to create an areola after breast surgery. We can also minimise the appearance of scars or restore an areola to a more natural-looking shape and colour. Areola Tattooing improves the look of the areola for patients who have undergone breast surgery to help increase self-esteem.

    Areola tattooing is an advanced medical area that requires advanced education, training, and experience to perform treatments correctly.

    How Micropigmentation and Areola Re-pigmentation (Tattooing) can help

    Breast Surgery is a massive issue for anyone, especially after cancer. This is more so mainly for a woman since a woman’s self-image can depend on the appearance of her breasts. A missing areola can be psychologically devastating, can feel “incomplete”, or areola scarring can cause emotional distress. 

    Areola tattooing provides the “finishing final touch” after breast surgery. Patients feel the areola tattooing process helps them look complete during the last part of their recovery and feel “whole” and “normal” again. After undergoing a mastectomy, you can survive breast cancer and regain your shape with breast reconstruction.

    Areola Nipple Simulation

    Areola Nipple Simulation is for patients undergoing breast reconstruction after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. 

    We use advanced cosmetic tattooing techniques with several bespoke colour pigments to create the appearance of an areola. For a unilateral mastectomy patient, this process helps the reconstructed breast to match the natural breast. For patients with bilateral breast reconstruction, both areolae are created and applied. Areola complex simulation is achieved with or without a nipple button created by a surgeon.

    Areola Size or Colour Adjustment

    Many breast operations require one or more incisions at or around the edge of the areola, which may produce scarring. The most common periareolar scars are from breast augmentation or reduction surgeries. Tattooing the areola scar using corrective pigment camouflage techniques can soften, blend, or reduce a scar’s appearance.

    Areola Scar Camouflage

    The colour of the areola can be darkened, balanced or enhanced with tattooing. This process helps women who have discoloured or lightened areola after breastfeeding or patients who have had areola graft surgery.

    Patients with skin discolouration disorders (i.e. Vitiligo) can also benefit from areola tattooing. Also, individuals who have not had breast surgery but are self-conscious about their areola colour or size (too light or too small) may choose this procedure to adjust their appearance.

    Waiting and preparing for your procedure

    Performing Scar camouflage as soon as six months after surgery is safe, but you should first ask your physician. Once the physician gives the OK for areola tattooing, you can schedule a consultation with us to perform areola tattooing.

    What to expect in your consultation

    At your consultation, we will review a medical form to ensure you have no contraindications to the treatment. We will then thoroughly discuss your needs and expectations of the procedure, including the application of pigment and what looks achievable.

    Skin Patch Test

    Once you agree to proceed with treatment, we will perform a colour patch test to 1. ensure we have chosen the correct blend of pigments to match your skin tone and 2. to see how the pigment implants in your skin. The skin patch test requires at least six weeks to settle underneath the skin surface before we can confirm the correct colour and proceed with the treatment sessions. Expect between 2 and 4 sessions per area to complete the treatment plan.

    Aftercare

    Aftercare must be followed for one week after each areola tattooing session. We will supply you with aftercare information and aftercare ointment after each procedure.

    Areola tattooing requires no recovery time, but you must adhere to the aftercare instructions, mainly avoid water and heat treatments, and apply the aftercare ointment as advised.

    What is Cosmetic and Medical Micropigmentation? 

    Micropigmentation is the process of implanting pigments in the upper layers of skin (epidermis) with treatments lasting 2 to 3 years. We recommend a refresher session every 12 to 18 months to keep the pigment looking fresh.

    Medical micropigmentation is adding pigment colour to the face, body, or anywhere that skin pigment is missing from injury or trauma, congenital anomaly, after a surgical procedure or as an alternative to surgery.

    Cosmetic micropigmentation encompasses several procedures to enhance and define facial features.

    Aesthetic Micropigmentation is very different from regular micropigmentation. Our process involves implanting EU pharmaceutical, medical grade hypo-allergenic pigments into the skin using a Class 2A classified machine that has over 20 different needle configurations. We do not insert pigment as deep as regular micropigmentation, as colour adjustment and repositioning may be required in the future.

    Exclusive Aesthetic is the Micropigmentation Specialist in the Middle East, offering a complete range of Medical Micropigmentation treatments to the highest level.

    We offer semi permanent makeup and medical micropigmentation to industry-leading standards. Exclusive Aesthetic was established by Candice Watson, who has 35+ years of experience specialising in medical micropigmentation and semi permanent makeup treatments.
