Restore the Natural Appearance of Your Nipples

Restore confidence and a sense of normalcy with areola tattooing at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine. This transformative procedure recreates the appearance of natural nipples using precise pigmentation techniques. Ideal for breast cancer survivors or those with scarring, it enhances size, shape, and color, offering a non-surgical solution to improve self-esteem. Areola tattooing is a cosmetic procedure that restores the natural appearance of the areola and nipples.

By depositing pigment into the skin, this treatment can recreate or enhance the size, shape, and color of the nipples, offering a realistic and natural look. While it is most commonly sought by breast cancer survivors after mastectomy or reconstruction surgery, it can also benefit individuals with scarring or distortions. The technique is performed similarly to traditional tattoos but with a focus on precision and natural aesthetics.

Areola Tattooing Corrects:

  • Scarring from breast surgery or injuries
  • Distortions in nipple shape or size
  • Uneven or faded nipple pigmentation
  • Absence of nipples after mastectomy or reconstruction
  • Discoloration caused by medical treatments or conditions

How Does Areola Tattooing Work?

Areola tattooing utilizes a specialized micropigmentation process to deposit natural-looking pigments into the dermal layer of the skin. Using advanced devices like the Nouveau Contour IQ, the treatment involves making precise, controlled needle insertions to mimic the appearance of natural areolae.

This technique stimulates the body’s healing response, as the skin forms a protective scab over the tattooed area. Over time, the pigments settle, creating a realistic, three-dimensional effect that enhances the nipple's appearance and symmetry.

Benefits of Areola Tattooing:

  • Restoring a natural and realistic nipple appearance
  • Enhancing self-confidence and body image
  • Providing a non-surgical alternative to nipple reconstruction
  • Correcting scarring or distortion around the areola
  • Customizing size, shape, and pigmentation to individual preferences

What Happens During Areola
Tattooing?

During areola tattooing, your aesthetician will start by discussing your goals, including size, shape, and color preferences for a natural look. After numbing the treatment area, the Nouveau Contour IQ device is used to deposit pigment into your skin. The process involves controlled, rapid needle insertions to create a 3D appearance. You may feel slight pressure or scratching, but the numbing ensures minimal discomfort. Depending on your needs, the session can take 30 minutes to several hours per breast.

What is the Recovery Process
Like?

After your areola tattooing, you must keep the area covered and dry for at least 24 hours to protect the pigment. You can expect mild redness, swelling, or tenderness for a few days. Over 10-14 days, the area will scab and naturally peel; avoid picking at it to prevent complications. You can shower after 24 hours but should avoid scrubbing or submerging the tattoo. Follow your aesthetician’s aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.

What Results Can I Expect?

After your areola tattooing, you’ll notice immediate improvements in the appearance of your areola, with the pigment slightly darkened at first. Over 10-14 days, as the area heals, the color will soften and blend with your skin tone. The results typically last several years, depending on your skin type and exposure to sunlight. To maintain an optimal appearance, you may need occasional touch-ups to help you feel confident in your body for years to come.
