Areola Restoration at DAELA Scottsdale

Hydration Guidelines:

Living in the Sonoran Desert demands vigilant attention to hydration all the time.

• Dehydration is a common risk in our arid environment.
• The quality of your outcome relies heavily on well-hydrated skin.
• Dehydrated skin tends to be limp and resistant, hindering optimal results.
• To mitigate this, it's essential to consume ample fluids such as water, juice, milk, or other hydrating beverages for the entire 48 hours before your appointment.
• Conversely, avoid dehydrating substances like pre-workout supplements, acne treatments, alcohol, and caffeine during this period.
• Additionally, consult your doctor about refraining from medications with diuretic effects leading up to your appointment.

We are here for you.

There is sometimes no feeling after a mastectomy.

However, during the areola restoration process, a topical numbing cream can be applied to minimize discomfort.

• This helps to ensure that the procedure is as comfortable as possible for the client. While individual pain tolerance can vary, many people find the sensation to be relatively mild and manageable.
• It's important to note that the skin around the areola is delicate, and the tattooing technique used by skilled artists is designed to be gentle and precise. They will work with you to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. If you have any concerns about pain or discomfort, it's always a good idea to discuss them with your tattoo artist beforehand.
• Ultimately, the goal of areola restoration is to provide a positive and empowering experience for individuals seeking to restore the natural appearance of their breasts.

That's correct!

Scar camouflage is a technique used to re-pigment scars and blend them with the surrounding skin color, making them less noticeable.

• In the case of areola restoration, we can use the existing color in the areola to re-pigment the scar, creating a more seamless and natural appearance.
• It's important to note that scar camouflage works best when the scar has darker coloration around it, as it allows for better blending.
• Our skilled artists are experienced in matching colors and carefully filling in the scar to achieve a harmonious result.

Yes!

• But you can't be tattooed (anywhere on your body) while you are breastfeeding or pregnant.
• You will have to wait for your tattoo until after!

• If we are doing any scar camouflage, we require your scars are fully healed. This typically takes 6 months, but healing times vary from person to person.
