Pigment is layered gradually across multiple sessions, usually two, spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart. Where restorative needling is needed first to soften scar tissue, those sessions are spaced 6 to 10 weeks apart. We plan the order and number of sessions with you at your consultation.

The area may feel tender for up to 72 hours, and colour looks darker at first. Light peeling around days five to ten is normal. The true result shows around four to six weeks after each session.

We may need to wait, adjust your plan or ask for medical clearance if you:

• are pregnant or breastfeeding
• are having chemotherapy or radiation, or have recently finished
• have an active skin infection, rash, cold sore or open wound in the area
• have a scar that is still red, raised or less than about 12 months old
• have a history of keloid scarring
• have a bleeding disorder, take blood thinners, or have uncontrolled diabetes

Areola reconstruction suits anyone whose areola has lost colour, shape or definition after mastectomy, breast surgery, necrosis or significant scarring. Areola blushing suits anyone wanting to restore or enhance the colour of their own areola. Scars need to be fully healed before we begin, and we’ll assess this at your consultation.
