Medical Micropigmentation
At neuü, we specialise in helping you feel confident in your skin. It could be post-surgical changes, scars, burns, grafts, stretch marks, self-harm scars and more, medical micropigmentation offers a precise and highly effective way to address concerns you may have. We understand how personal your concerns can be – Emma our Co-Founder has lived experience of this through her own cancer journey.
Using advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment, pigments are carefully implanted into the dermal layer of the skin, creating 3D realistic areola and nipples and utilise colour to blend a variety of scars seamlessly into surrounding skin. Each treatment is meticulously tailored to you, ensuring natural, subtle results that enhance your confidence and sense of self.
We will always prioritise your comfort at every stage, from an in-depth consultation to a gentle, detail-focused treatment plan designed to suit your unique skin tone and texture. Your treatment plan may also include Skin Microneedling to help reduce the appearance of scars before work is done to introduce colour pigment
We understand that some clients may feel apprehensive or nervous about needles or want more information before deciding to proceed. Your comfort and confidence are our top priorities. We are happy to arrange a consultation to discuss your concerns, answer any questions and walk you through the process step by step. We also have various techniques to ensure your experience is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Medical Micropigmentation is ideal for those who want to:
restore the natural appearance of the areola and nipple: whether due to breast cancer, breast surgery, gender reassignment, or chest trauma, we create 3D realistic results for both women and men
blend the appearance of burns: helping you feel more confident by softening and camouflaging burn scars
improve the look of skin grafts: blending grafts into surrounding skin for a more balanced appearance
minimise surgery scars and other trauma/accident scars: from face lifts, C-sections, breast augmentation, to other surgical procedures, we can help scars appear less prominent
reduce the visibility of stretch marks: blending stretch marks for a more even appearance
camouflage self-harm scars: providing a discreet, compassionate option to help reduce their visibility and restore confidence
blend areas of vitiligo: carefully matching pigments to surrounding skin to create a more consistent tone
