Everything You Need to Know About Medical Tattooing: usefull advice, Facts and Tips for a Natural Look

Medical tattooing, also known as dermopigmentation or micropigmentation, is an effective technique for camouflaging scars and skin imperfections. Whether it’s for a nipple-areola correction after breast reconstruction, scar fading, or color correction for vitiligo, medical tattooing helps restore a natural appearance.

I work with sterile needles and high-quality pigments, certified REACH22, which I carefully apply to the skin (dermis) under optimal hygienic conditions.

Applications of Medical Tattooing

Medical tattooing offers solutions for patients needing skin corrections or camouflage, including:

  • Nipple-areola correction after breast reconstruction
  • Corrections after breast reduction or augmentation
  • Falloplasty corrections (penis shading, glans, veins, color correction, and scar fading)
  • Scars from trauma (such as burns or cuts)
  • Surgical scars (for example, after breast surgeries or facelifts)
  • Hypopigmentation and vitiligo (stable forms)
  • Alopecia (complete or partial hair loss) on the beard, eyebrows, scalp, or eyelashes

Nipple-Areola Correction After Breast Reconstruction

After a breast reconstruction, the nipple-areola complex is often damaged, resulting in visible scars due to differences in skin elasticity. Medical tattooing allows for the re-drawing of the nipple and areola, restoring the symmetry of the breast and achieving a natural look.

Falloplasty Corrections

For patients who have undergone falloplasty, scars and color differences can occur. Medical tattooing can correct these irregularities and provide a natural, even result, enhancing confidence and satisfaction after this complex procedure.

Alopecia Corrections

Alopecia can cause complete or localized hair loss on the scalp, eyebrows, beard, or eyelash areas. I use scalp pigmentation to camouflage bald spots on the scalp by applying small dots, creating the effect of a closely shaved hairstyle. For eyebrows and eyelashes, I use natural pigments to create a soft, full appearance that complements your face shape and preferences.

Vitiligo Correction

In stable vitiligo cases, medical tattooing can help camouflage pigment-free spots and even out the skin tone, providing a natural, uniform look. Since vitiligo can sometimes change, I only treat stable cases to ensure a long-lasting result.

Duration and Costs of Medical Tattooing

The duration and cost of medical tattooing depend on various factors:

  • Size of the treated area
  • Complexity of the procedure
  • Skin type and nature of the skin trauma
  • Experience and expertise of the specialist

The treatment can be performed with or without anesthesia, depending on the sensitivity of the area. Typically, the result remains visible for 2 to 3 years before a touch-up is needed.
