I am delighted to announce that our Areola Restoration clinic is now up and running at our Liverpool branch in Pall Mall.

Areola repigmentation, or nipple tattooing, is often the final step after breast reconstruction. Also known as micropigmentation or “permanent make-up,” it can also be done to conceal a scar or cosmetically enhance your nipples.

Preparing for Areola Repigmentation
Before undergoing areola repigmentation you will need to discuss your goals and concerns with your technician . This is the time to bring up nipple color and size. Some technicians will perform a spot color test to make sure the color matches your skin tone and meets your aesthetic goals.

You should avoid alcohol; aspirin, ibuprofen and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs); and certain dietary supplements like vitamin E for at least one week before the procedure. These can increase your risk of bleeding..

The Areola Repigmentation Procedure
Areola repigmentation involves implanting hypoallergenic pigments (color) into the very top layers of your skin with a tattoo machine I use the Precision Plus system.
To begin, the technician will inspect your skin to make sure it is healthy enough for areola repigmentation. Next, she will clean the area with alcohol and/or spray it with an antiseptic solution. The technician will then transfer a stencil of the tattoo or draw the desired shape onto your skin. A topical numbing cream is applied to prevent any discomfort.
The chosen shape and colour is then implanted into the skin.

Areola Repigmentation Recovery and Results
You may feel tender and sore afterward. It will take seven to 10 days for the tattoo to heal.
Not washing the area more than twice a day
Using mild soap and water
Appling antibiotic cream as needed
Leaving the area exposed to the air
Keeping the area moist until the healing is complete
Not picking at any scabs or flakes

Areola Repigmentation Cost
Areola repigmentation cost is £400.00 this includes initial consultation colour analysis shape and design and a retouch procedure 4-6 weeks later.

Unfortunately there are no time limits to how long the treatment will last as we use pigments and not ink in the area therefore the procedure is classed as ’semi permanent’ and does fade overtime. I encourage all my clients to come back for a colour boost every 18-24 months depend on your bodies response to the pigment .

Areola Restoration completes the finished touch .This procedure promotes acceptance of self image and closure most certainly on the breast cancer experience “I feel whole again”, “I can sunbathe topless again without getting stared at”, “It really is the Finishing Touch of a long journey”, “I can undress in the same room as my husband again!”, “I don’t feel that there is something missing any more!

Semi Permanent Make Up

Dawn was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the New Years 2010 Honours List for her outstanding work in developing Medical Tattooing as a service to healthcare.

A leading make-up artist on the International Circuit, Dawn has exchanged her brushes for an electric pen that will tattoo make-up into the skin with such precision that you would imagine the soft eyeliner, liplines and simulated eyebrow hairs that Dawn creates are natural.

In the 1990’s, Dawn sold her beauty, make-up and hairdressing schools in order to concentrate on permanent make-up. She then became firmly established herself in Harley Street, where she trained students & treated clients from around the world. When she was not teaching, Dawn has a steady stream of clients from 8.30am, often until 8pm in the evening. Many clients were, & still are, referred from top plastic surgeons, others through personal recommendations.

For nearly 30 years, Dawn has been perfecting the art of permanent make-up, or micropigmentation as it is also known. She regularly attends overseas seminars to widen her already extensive knowledge.

In addition to applying permanent make-up, Dawn has had to remove or correct procedures that were done elsewhere with which the clients were dissatisfied. This included the removal or correction of black liplines, eyeliners that were too thick, eyebrows that had turned blue, green or red, and a lot of uneven lines around the eyes or the lips.

As an Expert Witness for Permanent Make-up (Micropigmentation) she finds this area of her work increasingly distressing, and advises would-be practitioners to do extensive research before committing themselves to a training programme.

Dawn’s Foundation Course of 100 hours has been approved by the British Association of Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology (BABTAC) & the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professional (SPCP). This is an attempt to accomplish an international standard in Permanent Make-up (Micropigmentation)

Dawn’s office is based in her home town of Retford, North Nottinghamshire, where she continues to both teach and run her private practice. Her company, MTEC Ltd, are UK distributers for the Mei-Cha range of pigments, machines & other equipment.

She now works as the Micropigmentation Specialist for Skin Clinics (0800 0287222) who have clinics nationwide, including London (Harley Street and Maida Vale), Birmingham, Manchester, Nottingham and Norwich – plus clinics in Scotland.

Her schedule is still as hectic as ever.
