Micropigmentation, also known as semi-permanent makeup, is a cosmetic procedure used to improve or replace lost color on your skin. It is most often used to enhance eyebrows, eyelids (as eyeliner), and lips. It’s also used to camouflage scars, even out skin color, and give an illusion of fuller hair on the scalp.
Micropigmentation is a technique in which minute, pigment granules, non-allergic and non-toxic pigments are implanted into the skin for cosmetic and/or corrective enhancement. Usually, 2-4 treatments are necessary. This can be performed in a doctor’s office in less than two hours. A topical anesthetic is applied to keep the patient comfortable during the procedure. Pigments are mixed to match the individual patient’s skin. Results are seen immediately, though end results are not apparent for about three weeks.

Micropigmentation can be done to both male and female. It avoids the physical challenges of applying makeup.

You can return to work or other activities immediately after your procedure.
