We always perform the treatment completely privately, to guarantee that you feel comfortable during the procedure. Areola Pigmentation is a modern permanent make-up technique, which is performed with a hand held machine. Tiny dots of pigment are set into the skin by softly puncturing the nipple area with sterile needles. By layering the pigments, we achieve different intensity for the color. If the skin around the nipple has scarring, it’s recommended to treat the area with Derma SR8 Scar Treatment first. As a result, the skin will be softer and lighter, which is a better foundation for the pigmentation.
