Areola Restoration in Houston

Q: Is a consultation required?

Yes, a consultation is required before your areola and nipple restoration procedure. During the consultation, we take the time to understand your goals and expectations, assess the area to be treated, and discuss your medical history and any previous procedures. This helps us determine the best approach for achieving your desired results. We’ll also walk you through the entire process, answer any questions you may have, and ensure you feel comfortable and informed before moving forward. This consultation is essential to ensure the procedure is right for you and that we can deliver the best possible outcome.

Q: Before Your Appointment?

"- Healing is Complete: Typically, you should wait until the surgical site is fully healed and any residual swelling or redness has subsided. This usually means waiting at least 3 to 6 months after surgery. - Medical Clearance: It’s crucial to get clearance from your surgeon or healthcare provider before scheduling the tattooing procedure. They can assess whether your skin and overall health are ready for the tattooing process. - Absence of Complications: Ensure there are no complications, such as infections or delayed healing, before proceeding with tattooing. - Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from taking blood-thinning medications or supplements (such as aspirin or vitamin E) a few days before your appointment to minimize bleeding. - Keep the Area Clean: Ensure the area to be tattooed is clean and free of lotions or oils. - Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect the area from excessive sun exposure to avoid irritation or sensitivity before your appointment. - Wear Comfortable Clothing: Choose loose-fitting clothes to avoid any friction on the tattooed area. - Hydrate and Eat Well: Drink plenty of water and have a light meal before your appointment to help with your overall comfort and energy levels."

Q: What Do I Do After My Areola Restoration Appointment?

After your appointment, a Tegaderm patch will be applied to protect the treated area. You’ll need to wear it for several days as instructed to ensure proper healing. During this time, you can shower and go about your daily activities. Once the patch is removed, it’s important to keep the area moisturized to help with any itchiness and promote healing. This will help maintain the results and ensure optimal recovery.

Q: Are nipple tattoo touch-ups necessary?

A touch-up is often recommended to ensure the best results. While many areas heal perfectly, sometimes there may be spots that need additional attention. If there’s an area you’d like to touch up, we offer one complimentary touch-up session to ensure your results are flawless. This touch-up is typically done 6 weeks after the initial treatment, once the area has fully healed.

Areola Restoration

Restoring Beauty with Precision

Your areola nipple tattoo restoration journey at Dermaluxe Spa begins with a comprehensive consultation. We’ll discuss your goals and expectations in detail. Our expert artist will carefully assess the area, listen to your preferences, and guide you through the entire process. We’ll review any previous surgeries or procedures that might influence the outcome, ensuring we’re both on the same page regarding your desired results.

After understanding your needs, we’ll create a personalized plan. This includes mapping out the area, taking precise measurements, and ensuring symmetry. You’ll have the opportunity to approve the design before we proceed.

Once the design is finalized, the areola nipple tattoo procedure begins. Our artist uses a digital machine and fine needles to apply pigment with precision. The process typically takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size and complexity of the area being treated.

Following the procedure, we’ll review the results together and make any necessary adjustments. Finally, we’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting, beautiful results.

Single Areola

This procedure restores the appearance of a single areola or nipple area, often after breast surgery or pigment loss. Using advanced techniques, we precisely match pigment to your natural skin tone for a seamless, realistic result. Our goal is to enhance symmetry and restore your confidence with a natural look.

Complete Restoration

Bilateral areola and nipple tattoo restoration is ideal for individuals seeking reconstruction of both areas, often following breast surgery or significant changes. This procedure utilizes advanced tattooing techniques to achieve natural, symmetrical results, restoring balance and enhancing overall aesthetics.

Update:
It's been a few years and my brows have held up really well! I got them touched up a while back, and also got my lips shaded. Getting my brows and lips shaded in has made a huge difference, and I'm not even a big makeup person. It is so nice to wakeup, throw on clothes and be able to walk out of the house looking polished without any effort. I get compliments on my brows all the time, even from other artist who microblade.

I've also sent probably 5 people to Kashia and everyone has been thrilled with the results. I'll never go anywhere else!

Original: Kashia did an incredible job on my brows! I wear very little makeup, but have thin brows and was tired of having to fill them in for Zoom meetings at work. My brows look totally natural, but fuller and she did a great job of keeping my natural shape (which is pretty arched) while cleaning it up just a bit.

I followed her instructions for after care and had no scabbing, no peeling and they took perfectly. I just had my touch up and I'm thrilled. She also did a great job on my mom, who had almost no eyebrows. I can't recommend her highly enough!

I'll definitely be back soon to get my lips shaded.

Jenna R.

I cannot recommend Kashia enough! She used a combination of techniques to create my perfect brows, and the results are even better than I ever could have imagined. Not only is she incredibly skilled and detail-oriented, but she also made the entire process so comfortable and easy. My brows look so natural and perfectly suited to my face shape. If you’re considering permanent brows, she’s the best!

Shaun H.

Highly recommend for your BROtox and facial needs!! I am prone to milia and their esthetician is always able to get rid of them easily and painlessly.

Melissa R.

Kashia is an amazing and impeccable makeup artist. She used all of her capability and experience to make my sad, thin and merely nonexistent eyebrows, look like I stepped out of magazine. She has boosted my confidence by 1000%. Kashia is extremely detail oriented to her work so that every client leaves feeling more confident them when they arrived.

Great experience, it was quick and the pain level was low. I was nervous but the process was easy and I’m excited to see the final results of my laser eye liner removal

Aryam A.

My favorite MedSpa ever! Kashia is incredibly talented. I have been making two hour drives for two years now just to get service from her. The space is so comfortable and there’s plenty of parking.

Julianna A.

After doing a deep dive in reviews and seeing the stellar reviews posted, I went to Kashia at DermaLuxe Spa for permanent eyebrows. A picture is worth a thousand words, and my pics speak for themselves (before and after).

I have friends that have literally said to me, "My friend got their eyebrows done and they look good - yours look AMAZING!"

If you are considering permanent brows, or any other service that is offered at this spa, don't hesitate - go do it!

Kashia is absolutely amazing and an exceptional expert at what she does. I am sure I'll be going in for other services soon.

Jay

Very happy with my results from the Li-FT removal. She took into account my skin type/sensitivity and recommended a product that was safe and effective.

B “Beeacupcake” M.

Dermaluxe Spa is amazing!! If you want great service and amazing results go to Dermaluxe Spa!!! Kashia is amazing! I just finished my "perfection" appointment today and could not be happier! I am looking forward to trying Botox next!

Keo L

If you're thinking about lip blushing in Houston, Kashia is truly the best! My results were stunning and the experience was smooth and completely painless. I had very minimal swelling and peeling (the aftercare balm worked wonders). The color came out beautifully: vibrant on the first day, then settled into a perfect natural shade. I highly recommend her!

Lelle A.

Dermaluxe has been a remarkable find since I moved here a few years back. Originally from the Northeast where I had my microblading done, I was worried about finding someone with the same level of expertise. Thankfully, I discovered Kashia in 2022, an artist who not only met but exceeded all my expectations. Her talent shines through in her ability to make my eyebrows perfect EVERY TIME , from selecting the ideal color to flawlessly framing them to complement my face shape.

Kashia is truly a gem—honest, kind, patient, and exceptionally professional. Her establishment is impeccably clean, adding to the overall pleasant experience. If you need any kind of permanent makeup done or spa services, I wholeheartedly recommend Dermaluxe. It's the best place for it!

M- R.

I came to Kashia at Dermaluxe Spa after a stressful experience with my brows, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment I reached out, Kashia was incredibly responsive and understanding, fitting me in right away for an emergency removal. She walked me through the entire process, made me feel comfortable, and reassured me that I’d see a significant improvement. Her kindness, expertise, and warm personality truly put me at ease. She has a magnetic aura for sure and it’s a GREAT one. The one I definitely needed after crying for 2 days. I’ll definitely be back to see her and her team for future services—she’s a gem.

Lizet T.

Kashia is such a professional, and is truly dedicated at what she does. Her work is not to disappoint. & Thanks to her incredible talent my mornings are cut down to half, and I'm so grateful of her expertise.
So look no further because this is your to go to for your permanent cosmetic and skin care!
Thank you Kashia once again for getting my eyebrows just right.

Gabby T.

Kashia did an amazing job at removing my old and faded 5-year old microblading with 2 laser treatments! She was super knowledgeable about the process and made me feel comfortable and informed about what to expect after treatment. Her facility is super clean and she is always kind and gentle. I’m very pleased with my results and can’t believe that I was able to get my natural brows back. I look much younger and feel much more confident. Highly recommend her!

Danielle H.

Love Dermaluxe and Kashia! Always feel so great after a facial and microderm. And her eyebrow skills are amazing! My skin is SO smooth today after a micro derm and facial with Stacy, the newest esthetician. Highly recommend! I can’t wait to go back next week for my Botox and another facial!

Lauren F.

Kashia is the sweetest! Love her spa!! I’ve had the pleasure of working with Stacy the last couple of times and SHE IS INCREDIBLE!! 10/10 recommend. Her facials are so relaxing

Nancy P.

Kashia is brilliant! The spa quiet and serene, and the techniques her & Melissa use make spending my money and time on make-up that’s not good for your skin anyway an archaic thing of the past!

Laura B.

Today I enjoyed a wonderful DermaGlow Microdermabrasion Facial with esthetician, Melissa. I couldn't be happier with the experience and the improvement to the texture and appearance of my face! From the comfortable table to the professionalism and kindness exhibited by Melissa - everything was lovely. She took the time to explain every step she was taking and talked with me about my specific skin situation. I ended up adding a lash dye to my service, but it definitely was not a "hard sell" by Melissa - just an organic conversation. Totally happy with all of today's service and looking forward to my next visit, because I will definitely be back for more!!

Sheila R.

I have been a client at Dermaluxe for 3 years. Kashia is a professional and always honest about expectations and results. She is super thorough and makes sure she gets input on any retouching that needs to happen to make sure I'm completely satisfied with my brow shape and color. Would absolutely recommend!

Cachi's C.

I went in for microblading removal, my eyebrows were 4 years old and very dark. The procedure was really quick to my surprise. She was able to remove the pigment very well!! Yes it does sting but nothing I couldn’t handle. She was very nice and polite 🤗 very happy with my experience. This is my after picture 😁

Angeles C.

I love my combo brows and lips! Kashia is the best! The lips hurt, but are so worth it. I love that I spend far less time on makeup application. I also love how I look even first thing in the morning. The brows look super natural and Kashia helped me pick the perfect color for my lips.

Brewill

Kashia is such a beautiful person. She’s very friendly and professional. She has a wonderful personality! Her work is simply beautiful, hands down!!! I love my brows!!

Thank you Kashia!!

Cyndi L.

Made an appointment with Kashia to get my eyebrows retouched & perfected… after I had microblading done at a different spa 2 yrs ago. So many of my friends recommended Kashia for the various professional services she and her team offer. SO glad I finally did it. I will never go anywhere else! ❤️

Ryan H.

Booked my gf a consult as a gift for Micro blading with Kashia. Upon arrival we were impressed with her office. It was ultra clean and everything felt very comfortable. Kashia explained that micro blading was not best option due to my gf skin type. She recommended another service and explained the difference and pros and cons of each. We were impressed by her knowledge and expertise and booked. Looking forward to the next appt and final product when finished.

Chelsea T.

Came in to remove “microbladed” brows that didn’t fade after 4 years and Kashia made it a comfortable and positive experience. She was able to move my appointment up by nearly an hour so we didn’t have to sit in rush hour. Also, I was her last client and despite revealing it had been a very busy day, Kashia did not rush through any steps of the initial evaluation or procedure.

She has great attention to detail and doesn’t assume clients’ preferences. For example, she asked me what look I wanted to achieve & paused after treating each brow with the laser to ask if I wanted them lighter before she went up on the laser intensity. This alludes to her attentiveness and care. Highly recommend her!

Marissa B.

Kashia was so kind and knowledgeable! I was in need of a fresh start for my brows. She was able to completely remove old Microblading in two sessions. The entire process was quick and easy- definitely recommend her!

Susy T.

I have been going to Kashia for my eyebrows for the past few years and yesterday I went to see her for my annual brow touch up. As usual she took the time to listen to me and made my eyebrows beautiful again! I highly recommend her!

Salina S.

Kashia is absolutely wonderful, she squeezed me in on my first visit while I happen to be next door with my son for tutoring. She has a casual manner, which makes the visit less stressful, especially when going in for tattoo laser removal of the eyebrows.

K W

I am so happy with my microblading! My eyebrows turned out exactly as I wanted. Kashia takes her time and is a perfectionist to ensure you’re comfortable and it’s what you’re looking to achieve. I already had my touch up and love I don’t have to fill my eyebrows in every morning now.
