Aftercare for Medical Micropigmentation

Caring for your medical tattooing requires a wet healing process. Remember to clean with alcohol, apply Vaseline + cling film, and keep sealed for 14 days. Avoid allowing the pigment area to be in direct contact with the air for longer than 15 minutes for the first 14 days. The area must be sealed day 1-7, and then covered with gauze day 7-14.

Day 1-7

Keep the pigment area completely sealed with Vaseline & Tegaderm film for 7 days

Step 1) Clean area with alcohol

Step 2) Place Vaseline on the pigment using a clean Q-tip

Step 3) Completely seal the area with Tegaderm Film and change as needed

Day 7-14

After day 7, apply Vaseline morning and night while also covering with gauze. Tegaderm is no longer required after 7 days but you can apply a cling film if needed. It is important to keep the area from rubbing directly against your clothing for 14 days.

Areola tattoos can last for many years, but the longevity depends on factors such as lifestyle, skin type, and aftercare. After your areola tattoo is completely healed, we recommend applying sunscreen with an SPF of 50 or greater if the area is exposed to sun or tanning beds. Avoid using chemical exfoliants on the areolas, as they can cause fading. Avoid laser treatments near the areola tattoo, as some lasers may alter the ink color. Additional touch-ups may be required after a few years to maintain a fresh, bold and beautiful appearance.
