Realistic and natural
Our experienced Micropigmentation Specialist is dedicated to ensuring that each treatment is tailored to your unique needs, helping you feel more comfortable in your own skin. Using medical-grade pigments, we create a result that looks as realistic and natural as possible, blending seamlessly with your surrounding skin tone.
What is Areola Restoration?
Areola Restoration, also referred to as Areola or Nipple Tattooing, is a specialised form of medical micropigmentation that restores or enhances the appearance of the areola following breast surgery. This procedure uses high-quality pigments to recreate the natural look of the areola, helping to restore symmetry and confidence. The treatment is also effective in disguising scars and irregularities on the breast area.
Who is Areola Restoration For?
This treatment is ideal for individuals who have:
- Undergone breast surgery, including post-mastectomy reconstruction.
- Experienced areola fading or colour loss due to surgery or skin conditions.
- Scarring or asymmetry in the areola area.
- Undergone gender-affirming surgery and wish to enhance their areola’s appearance.
At The Karma Clinic, we provide a compassionate and supportive environment to ensure you feel comfortable throughout your treatment journey.

How Does Areola Restoration Work?
The process of Areola Restoration begins with an in-depth consultation with one of our Micropigmentation Specialists. During this session, we will:
- Discuss your goals and expectations.
- Assess your skin tone and determine the best pigment match.
- Show you before-and-after photosso you know what to expect..
- Explain the entire procedure and answer any questions.
Once the consultation is complete, the procedure is carried out in a safe and comfortable setting. The treatment typically lasts between one and two hours, during which medical-grade pigments are skilfully applied to create or recolour the areola. This technique also helps to soften and disguise any scarring, ensuring a smooth and natural result.
Numbing cream is applied beforehand to reduce any discomfort, and while you may experience mild sensitivity, most clients report minimal pain during the treatment.
How Long Will Areola Restoration Results Last?
Areola Restoration provides long-lasting results, with the colour settling naturally over time. The treatment requires two sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve the most realistic and even colour outcome. Initially, the pigment may appear darker, but it will gradually fade and settle into a more natural tone.
To maintain the best results, we recommend:
- Following the provided aftercare instructions.
- Avoiding excessive sun exposure on the treated area.
- Considering a touch-up session in the future if desired.
