We offer areola and 3D nipple tattooing for breast reconstructive patients and breast cancer survivors. A complimentary consultation with our permanent cosmetic specialist involves a detailed skin analysis to formulate an individualized recommendation for size, color and shape.
Permanent cosmetics is a form of tattooing where pigment is implanted into the skin for a natural makeup look. Permanent cosmetics has been around for over 20 years. Imagine make-up that won’t come off while jogging, swimming, or exercising. It offers beauty and freedom for those with an active lifestyle.
Permanent cosmetics involves the application of pigment into the superficial skin layer of the
eyebrows, eyelids, and lips. Recovery time is minimal and the improvement in color results in a
natural and more youthful appearance. The initial treatment provides most of the desired
color with a second treatment scheduled in one to two months later to evenly blend in the color.
