FAQ

How many treatments will I need?
Medical Needling: For optimal results and long-lasting outcomes, a minimum of two sessions are necessary, with a recommended gap of 4-8 weeks between each session. To maintain the freshness of the colour and prolong the results, an annual colour boost is highly advised.
3D Nipple & Areola: Typically, patients undergo an initial treatment followed by a second session to achieve the desired pigment colour. Additional follow-up treatments might be necessary in the future if the pigment starts to fade (our pigments & techniques are designed to adjust for aging and natural bodily changes). The frequency of future top-up sessions varies on an individual basis.

Is there lots of downtime following treatment?
Following your treatment, you may experience a mild redness around the treated area for up to 72 hours, but it should not disrupt your daily activities. Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided by your practitioner to ensure proper healing. It is important to avoid sun exposure, swimming, saunas, Jacuzzis, and intense gym sessions immediately after scar camouflage treatment. Once the area has fully healed (typically within 3-7 days), we recommend applying a high-factor sunscreen to protect the pigment colour and prevent fading.

What aftercare is required?
We provide full aftercare advice as part of your treatment. As the treated area heals, it is common to notice scabbing. It is crucial to refrain from picking at the scabs to avoid the risk of infection or removing pigment prematurely. Keeping the area as dry as possible during the healing process is advisable. We kindly recommend avoiding activities such as swimming, sunbathing, or using saunas/jacuzzis for a period of two weeks following the procedure.

Am I suitable for this treatment?
Skin camouflage and Medical Needling are suitable for various conditions such as skin grafts, vitiligo (subject to specific criteria), burns, and post-surgical scars. It's important to note that not all types of scarring can be effectively addressed with scar camouflage techniques. To achieve optimal results, scars should be fully healed and at least 1 year old.
