Question 1

What is micropigmentation?

Accepted Answer

It is an aesthetic treatment where pigment is implanted in the dermis (which is located just below the epidermis), it is a cosmetic technique similar to the tattoo but more superficial and delicate, the objective is to produce patterns that resemble makeup, but semi-permanently, mainly on the eyebrows, lips and eyelids.

Question 2

What types of procedures can be done?

Accepted Answer

There are several options and techniques for applying micropigmentation, with the client's needs and tastes being the determining factor in choosing the procedure.
The options are:
Eyebrows: thread by thread and/or shaded
Eyes: Full liner (catty type) or Soft Liner (lashes only) eyeliner
Lips: Lipstick-like effect on the lips (a little more translucent)
Areolae: hyper-realistic creation or correction for anyone who needs area pigmentation

Question 3

How long does micropigmentation last?

Accepted Answer

Procedures are considered semi-permanent, however, they clear up over time and may need to be redone every 1 – 2 years.
 
When we insert the pigment into the skin, the organism begins to break down the particles to expel them, so the procedure gradually clears up as the immune system expels the pigment, it does not disappear overnight.
 
The frequency of sessions depends on several factors, including: the color of the pigment used (lighter colors fade faster), lifestyle (sun exposure), skin types (oily skin tends to last less), daily care of each client (example: people who have acid treatments on the face tend to last less because the acid lightens the procedure), immune system, among others.
 
Due to the above, we cannot guarantee the duration time as it is different for each person.
 
*There are even rare cases in which the pigment does not fix (such as when the person has anemia or some other condition that impairs fixation)

Question 4

What factors can impair the duration of micropigmentation?

Accepted Answer

Exposure to the Sun: it can shorten the duration, so after healing it is important to use sunscreen on the micropigmented area.
Regeneration of skin cells: the longer the regeneration takes, the longer the pigment remains, that is, in more mature skins, the duration is longer.
Using acids on the face: they fade the procedure.
Use of some remedies such as Roaccutane that dry and flake the skin.
Cigarette: Smokers tend to have worse wound healing, among other factors.

Question 5

How long does it take to make a section?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the type of procedure (area to be pigmented), but usually lasts between 1h 30min to 2h 30min.

Question 6

What will my micropigmentation look like right after the procedure?

Accepted Answer

Be patient. Right after the procedure, the color will be very dark and can be a little scary, but it will lighten in the following days and stabilize during the healing process.
Wait for the indicated thirty days (until complete healing is not possible to assess the final result) and when you return we will assess the retention of the pigment and make the necessary adjustments, everyone heals differently so if yours does not heal perfectly after the first session don't worry, we can make some adjustments to the retouching.

Question 7

Is retouching necessary?

Accepted Answer

In some areas such as the areola, lips and eyes, the skin has a very good fixation and retouching is hardly necessary (it can vary depending on several factors as explained in the question regarding the duration), but the eyebrow has a skin with fixing a little more complicated and often the color is not perfect after the healing process. For this reason, at least one touch-up is recommended after the healing time, which would be 30 to 60 days (healing time depends on the age of the client)

Question 8

What color is used in eyebrow micropigmentation?

Accepted Answer

The mixture of pigments to define the color that will be used is done according to the color of the client's natural eyebrow hairs, that is, we make a tone close to the natural color of the hair.
We can make several variations of brown, blonde and red.

Question 9

Posso usar maquiagem após o procedimento?

Accepted Answer

É recomendável evitar a aplicação de maquiagem diretamente na área tratada por pelo menos 15 dias após o procedimento. Isso permite que a pele cicatrize adequadamente e minimiza o risco de infecção. No entanto, você pode usar maquiagem em outras partes do rosto, desde que evite a área recém-micropigmentada. Após o período de cicatrização você pode retomar sua rotina normal de maquiagem.

Lembre-se de sempre seguir as orientações pós-procedimento fornecidas para garantir uma cicatrização saudável e resultados duradouros.

Question 10

O que fazer se eu não gostar do resultado?

Accepted Answer

Entendemos que o processo de micropigmentação é uma jornada que envolve várias etapas e mudanças na aparência da área tratada. É crucial ter paciência durante o período de cicatrização, que dura em torno de 30 dias, pois a cor pode mudar durante esse tempo.

Se você não gostar do desenho inicial logo após o procedimento: O ideal é optar pela remoção o mais rápido possível. Quanto mais recente o procedimento, mais fácil é a remoção, especialmente com métodos como laser ou tratamentos químicos.

Se a questão for a cor: Recomendamos aguardar o período completo de cicatrização de 30 dias. A cor tende a mudar durante esse período, tornando-se mais clara e natural.

Se após a cicatrização completa você ainda não estiver satisfeita: Nesse caso, a remoção a laser é geralmente a opção mais eficaz.
