Medical tattooist helps surgery and cancer patients heal

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 12:31 · Archive

A Cambridgeshire medical tattooist offers scar camouflage and areola reconstruction to help surgery and cancer patients restore confidence.

Helen Honey, a permanent make-up artist from Cambridgeshire, has expanded her skills into medical tattooing to help people heal after surgery, trauma, and cancer treatment. She runs The Brow & Body Studio from her private studio in Ely, offering scar restoration, areola reconstruction, and camouflage services.

Honey's decision to specialise in medical tattooing followed the death of a close family friend from cancer in 2020. She undertook specialist training in areola reconstruction, scar and stretch-mark restoration, and scar camouflage. She said: "It helps not only repair the body but restore people's confidence, whether they're recovering from an accident, surgery or trauma."

Her services include 3D areola tattoo restoration, which she describes as no longer available on the NHS, and MCA (Multi-Trepannic Collagen Actuation), an inkless needling technique using medical-grade needles to create micro-trauma and stimulate collagen production. Her clients have included individuals recovering from mastectomies, breast augmentation, body contouring surgery, burns, gender-affirming procedures, and significant weight-loss journeys.
