A look into areola restoration
Areola restoration, also known as 3D tattooing, is a cosmetic procedure that uses pigments to create a realistic-looking areola and nipple on a breast after surgery. This technique, sometimes referred to as paramedical tattoo, is for anyone who may have had a mastectomy, total loss, irregularity, or inconsistency in their areola and nipples after breast reconstructive surgery or augmentation. Areola restoration can help people regain a sense of wholeness and self-confidence.
During the process I want you to feel as comfortable and safe as possible. I offer numbing cream for each service, a robe, privacy screens, pillows, heating pads and if you prefer to be in a private room it can be arranged at the shop. I’m happy to meet with you and have a consultation to talk more about the process from start to finish.

Your touch up appointment will be scheduled during your initial appointment.
A touchup takes place 6-12 weeks after the initial appointment and is crucial to see the healed results and how the ink settles in your skin. A touchup is especially important if there is particularly a lot of scarring around the area because often times scarred tissue has more trouble holding ink.
A non-refundable $100 deposit is required for appointments.

After Care
♥ After 24 hours, remove the bandages
♥ Limit wearing a tight bra for the first 48 hours to allow the area to breathe.
♥ Before touching or washing your tattoos, clean your hands thoroughly
♥ Wash your areolas before bed with lukewarm water and unscented soap or cleanser (NO BAR SOAP)
♥ Apply a thin layer of unscented lotion once area is clean
♥ Repeat the cleaning and aftercare process in the morning for 5 days
♥ Avoid over-saturating with aftercare balm or lotion, but don’t let the area become too dried out either.
♥ After 5 days, switch to using unscented lotion for the next week, such as Lubriderm or Cetaphil.
What to Avoid During Healing:
♥ NO scented lotions or tanning lotions for 1 week.
♥ NO scratching, picking, or peeling any dry skin or flakiness.
♥ NO foreign body fluids around the tattoo for 5 days.
♥ NO activities that cause extreme sweating for 5 days.
♥ NO swimming pools, hot tubs, or other bodies of water for 5 days.
♥ NO UV exposure, including tanning booths, for 5 days.
♥ NO exfoliants, retinol acids, glycolic acids, and alpha hydroxy acids on the area for 30 days after the appointment, as they can cause premature fading.
After Healing:
♥ Areola tattoos can last for many years, but the longevity depends on factors such as lifestyle, skin type, and aftercare.
♥ Apply sunscreen with an SPF of 50 or greater on the area if exposed to the sun or tanning beds.
♥ Avoid using chemical exfoliants on the areolas, as they can cause fading.
♥ Avoid laser treatments near the areola tattoo area, as some lasers may alter the ink color.
♥ Additional touch-ups may be required after a few years to maintain a fresh, bold, and beautiful look.
