What is medical pigmentation?

Medical pigmentation is the application of Permanent make up with reach-compliant pigments in connection with a medical history. This area represents a link between the cosmetic and medical PMU fields. In most cases, Permanent make up is used after the underlying disease, such as breast cancer and chemotherapy, has fully recovered. PMU techniques are used to improve the appearance of permanent physical consequences. These include, for example the optical retouching of scars or vitiligo using camouflage pigmentation, the hyper-realistic reconstruction of missing nipples after breast cancer and mastectomy or the optical imitation of the finest eyebrow hairs in the case of alopecia. In any case, the application of Permanent make up techniques is usually part of a larger medical context. It is an additional means of improving the quality of life of affected customers.

What is nipple pigmentation?

Nipple pigmentation, better known as areola pigmentation, is usually performed in a medical context. If only one side of the breast is affected, the remaining nipple is used as a template for reconstruction on the other breast. This allows you to optimally adapt and transfer the size, shape and color. If both breasts are equally affected by the loss of the areola, the nipples can be completely redesigned and drawn on the skin on both sides using hyper-realistic pigmentation methods. Natural color gradients and shading create completely realistic visual replicas of the areola.

Due to their demanding application, these pigmentation techniques must always be learned in a professional training course. Find out more about the course schedule and dates on the Swiss Color website in the training section.

How long does medical pigmentation last?

The durability of medical pigmentation, as well as Permanent make up in general, is very individual and depends on many factors. In the context of a medical history, any medication taken, other medical interventions and the body's own metabolism are always decisive factors for the durability.

In general, a durability of approx. one year can be assumed, this includes at least one further PMU treatment after the initial pigmentation. All this information must be seen as non-binding guidelines, which must be considered in the individual context of the customer.

Can scars be pigmented?

Yes, scars can usually be pigmented. However, this involves a separate treatment process, which requires both the preparation of the treatment area with appropriate, skin-relaxing dermaneedling (microneedling) and serum applications, as well as adapted pigmentation and post-treatment techniques.

The scar tissue is usually very firm, with little pigmentation and must therefore first be optimally relaxed and prepared for treatment with PMU colors. The dermaneedling or microneedling technique is suitable for preparing the scar tissue by stimulate the affected area. Customized serums can also help to smooth the skin. During the actual pigmentation using camouflage or skin pigments, care must be taken to ensure that the depth and frequency of the needles are appropriate in order to avoid excessive irritation.

The complete loss of all pigments from the treatment area is often a problem with scar pigmentation. It is therefore particularly important to follow the relevant post-treatment instructions and use the post-treatment products accurately.

Why is the areola pigmented?

Nipple pigmentation can have aesthetic or cosmetic reasons. Some clients want to adjust the shape or color of their areola in order to feel more comfortable.

In most cases, however, areola pigmentation has a medical background and can therefore be seen as an additional means of regeneration after a serious illness such as breast cancer. Medical camouflage pigmentation can also significantly improve the self-confidence of customers with vitiligo.

The safe application of medical Permanent make up can only be successful once the underlying disease has fully regenerated. For example, the complete regeneration of a scar, the completion of cancer treatment with chemotherapy or the complete disappearance of various skin diseases must be awaited at all times before medical pigmentation can be started.

As a professional PMU stylist, please discuss the exact procedure and the estimated duration of the treatment with your clients in order to achieve the best possible result in every case. Empathy, trust and passion are particularly important in the field of medical areola pigmentation, as well as medical PMU application in general!
