This procedure, also called micropigmentation, is the process of embedding an organic pigment into the skin to add permanent color.

Who is a Candidate?

Anyone interested in defining the eyes, eyebrows and lips for cosmetic reasons. This process is also used in breast reconstruction after mastectomy to provide color to the nipple areola complex.

How is it done?

The procedure involves the use of a hand-held device that punctures the skin hundreds of times per minute with a very thin needle and pushes the pigment into the desired location.

Recuperation

There is little or no downtime.
