Applications of medical micropigmentation
Nipple and areola reconstruction
After a mastectomy or breast surgery (reduction, reconstruction) — restores the appearance of the areola and nipple using precise pigmentation and 3D shading techniques.
3D areola technique: An illusion of depth — a three-dimensional nipple effect with no implant. We use gradients, shadows and pigment highlights.
Ideal for:
- Women after a mastectomy with tissue reconstruction or an implant
- Women after reduction surgery with nipple grafting
- Correction of scars and asymmetry after breast surgery
When it can be performed:
- At least 6–12 months after surgery (once fully healed)
- With approval from your treating surgeon
Results last: 2–5 years (skin after surgery may hold pigment differently)
Scar camouflage
Scar pigmentation in a colour matched to the surrounding skin. Technique: skin-toned pigments are injected into the scar to reduce contrast.
Scar types:
- Post-surgical scars (after caesarean sections, laparotomy, oncological surgery)
- Burn scars (pale, discoloured)
- Self-harm scars
- Accident scars
- Vitiligo (discoloured patches) — stable
Conditions:
- The scar must be stable for at least 1–2 years
- No active healing
- Skin around the scar is normal (not actively keloid)
Limitations: Camouflage does not "remove" a scar — it reduces the visibility of the contrast. Results depend on the scar type and skin tone.
Freckles (freckle PMU)
Natural-looking freckles created with precise, small pigment punctures. A PMU trend — natural, scattered freckles matched to your skin tone.
Ideal for:
- Those who want a natural freckle effect all year round
- A way to try the look (results last 1–2 years — shorter than classic PMU)
Technique: Random, natural placement of punctures — not even, not geometric. Irregularity is key.
Results last: 1–2 years (shallow pigmentation fades faster)
Improving the appearance of scarring after lip augmentation (PMU correction)
Correction of asymmetry after poorly performed permanent makeup or a scar on the lip.
Consultation — what to expect
Medical micropigmentation is always preceded by an in-depth consultation:
- Medical history — conditions, surgeries, medications, surgeon's approval
- Assessment of the scar/area — tissue type, surrounding colour, scar thickness
- Pigment selection — a colour test on the skin before the actual treatment
- Treatment plan — number of sessions, techniques used
- Discussion of realistic results — an honest explanation of what's possible and its limitations
