What Is Eyebrow and Eyeliner Micropigmentation?
Micropigmentation is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure, often referred to as permanent makeup or cosmetic tattooing, in which specialised pigments are implanted into the upper layer of the skin with the aim of enhancing or correcting the appearance of certain areas of the body, particularly the eyebrows, lips, and eyes.
Benefits of Micropigmentation
- Wake up with makeup every day
- Waterproof, sweat-proof results
- Suitable for alopecia or sparse brows
- Saves time in daily beauty routine
- Custom pigment and shape tailored to you
Step-by-Step Procedure
The procedure is carried out using a precision electric device fitted with ultra-fine, sterile needles. These needles gently implant pigment at a shallow depth beneath the skin’s surface, allowing for accurate placement and natural-looking results. Unlike traditional tattoos, the pigments used in micropigmentation are designed to fade gradually over time, offering the flexibility of touch-ups or adjustments as needed.
