Everything You Need to Know About Medical Tattooing - Facts & Tips for a Natural Appearance

Medical tattooing, also known as dermopigmentation or micropigmentation, is a specialised technique used to camouflage scars, colour differences and skin irregularities. Whether it concerns areola reconstruction after breast surgery, scar softening, vitiligo or corrections after phalloplasty: medical tattooing allows for natural and realistic results. I work with sterile needles and REACH-22 compliant pigments under strict hygiene standards.

Applications of Medical Tattooing

Medical tattooing is suitable for various skin corrections, such as:
• areola correction after breast reconstruction
• corrections after breast reduction or augmentation
• phalloplasty corrections (glans, veins, colour, scars)
• scars caused by trauma or burns
• surgical scars (e.g. breast surgery, liftings)
• hypopigmentation & stable vitiligo
• alopecia (scalp, eyebrows, beard, eyelashes)

Areola Correction After Breast Reconstruction

After breast surgery, scars and colour differences may remain visible. With medical tattooing, the areola and nipple are reshaped, restoring symmetry and a natural appearance.

Phalloplasty Corrections

After phalloplasty, colour differences, scars and asymmetry can remain visible. Medical tattooing refines these details: colour correction of the glans, simulation of veins and softening of scars. This supports both aesthetic and psychological recovery.

Corrections for Alopecia

In cases of hair loss affecting the eyebrows, eyelashes, scalp or beard area, I use techniques such as scalp micropigmentation (SMP) or specialised micropigmentation. This creates natural, soft and fuller-looking results that match your skin type and identity.

Vitiligo Correction

For stable vitiligo, medical tattooing can camouflage pigment-free areas. The skin tone is custom-mixed for a softer, more even result. Only stable forms are treated to ensure long-lasting results.

Duration & Cost of Medical Tattooing

Price and duration depend on:
• size of the area
• complexity of the skin
• type of scar or pigment loss
• skin type
• desired level of detail

A medical tattoo remains visible on average for 2 to 3 years. After that, a subtle refresh is possible.
