Should you be aware of scientific evidence supporting this product with regards to the successful treatment of cancer, please forward this information to info@cansa.org.za for the Head Of Research's attention.

If you have had a breast reconstruction after a masectomy and need nipple definition by micropigmentation for cosmetic reasons, it is best if you consult with your oncologist and a plastic surgeon regarding this.
In terms of your query re how to choose a micropigmentation technician, where to go and what to use - this query may take longer to answer and has been referred to Dr. Elna McIntosh.
I will let you know as soon as I have further information.
