About the treatment
How long will it take?
An initial consultation is required to assure the treatment will be safe and will work for you, various forms and a medical questionnaire will be required. Areola tattooing then typically takes 2 sessions 6-8 weeks apart. Each session may take up to 3 hours. Camouflaging of breast scars generally takes 2-4 sessions and about an hour each session.
What happens during each treatment?
Sophia will chat through exactly what you’d like the end result to be. This will include looking at your current areola shape, size, placement and colourings. Sophia will then measure and mark the areola and nipple complex using temporary markers and perfectly blend pigment shades to match your skin. This is to make sure the correct style and colours are chosen and the finished result is as natural as possible.
Using specialist tattooing techniques Sophia will skilfully implant the specialist medical grade pigment into your skin creating a natural realistic 3D nipple and Areola.
Will it hurt?
Sophia’s priority is to ensure you are completely comfortable during your treatment. If you still have sensation following your surgery, numbing agents are applied and Sophia will continually check how you’re feeling. Most clients usually describe the discomfort as no more than 3 out of 10.
How will it feel afterwards?
Typically the area around your treatment may be slightly red for 36 hours and we apply a sterile dressing, which you wear under your clothes for up to 5 days.
Do you provide aftercare?
Yes – for all treatments full aftercare advice and complimentary aftercare products are included.
Additional products can also be purchased from Sophia’s Online shop.
If you have any further questions please feel free to contact Sophia.
