Micropigmentation: take your doubts about this beauty procedure

Micropigmentation, popularly known as permanent makeup or microblading, is an increasingly requested procedure in aesthetic offices.

The pigmentation technique corrects hair or color flaws, especially on women’s faces, such as eyebrows or lips. Despite being known, doubts always arise about micropigmentation, such as notions of price, what it is about and some precautions that we must take when performing the procedure.

To clarify these frequent questions about the technique, we invite specialist Pamela Mariotti, master in eyebrows, for recommendations and professional information on the subject. Check out.

What is micropigmentation?

According to the specialist, micropigmentation is “a semi-definitive pigmentation technique, used to enhance female beauty, as it corrects flaws in specific places, mainly on the woman’s face.”

Pamela clarifies that technically, the process can be understood as “the deposit of pigments in the subdermal layer of the skin with the aid of appropriate equipment and needles.”

According to the professional, there are several types of micropigmentation, from paramedical, to camouflage scars or stretch marks, to hair or eye procedures. According to Pamela, the most common types are eyebrow and lip micropigmentation.

Frequently asked questions about micropigmentation

To clarify your questions about the procedure, see some information and recommendations about micropigmentation.

Who is it for?

According to the specialist, micropigmentation is indicated for women who “seek to correct any flaw in the eyebrow or in the coloring and design of the lips.”.

Pamela adds that micropigmentation also reduces the time we spend on makeup on a daily basis, “since the procedure lasts for about a year.”

The specialist warns that the procedure is contraindicated in the case of keloids and for people who are allergic to the dye. In these cases, micropigmentation can become a risk once the pigment enters the bloodstream.

Does micropigmentation hurt?

Another frequent question from those who want to do micropigmentation is about the pain of the procedure. According to the specialist, “in most cases people feel a little pain, or at least a discomfort in the skin during the procedure”.

Pamela, however, points out that it is possible to apply anesthesia at the site and there are reports of people who did not feel any pain during the session.

How much?

According to Pamela, the value varies according to the professional’s profile and the type of public he serves, but the specialist offers us some notions of price for some types of micropigmentation. Look:

• Eyebrows: according to the eyebrow master, “on average this type of procedure, with a well-qualified professional, can cost from R$500 to R$2,500, but it is not uncommon to find professionals who charge R$100 for a micropigmentation.”
• Lips: according to the professional, the procedure “costs an average of R$800 to R$2,000, but as in the case of eyebrows, sometimes you find professionals who charge a value well below that.”

  The specialist indicates looking for photos of the professional’s work and also updating on the reputation of the professional who will hire, so it is possible to avoid cheap jobs that need correction and end up being expensive.

  care

  If you are thinking about doing the procedure, see the necessary care, listed by the specialist, so that the procedure as well as the healing are effective.

  • Avoid exposure to the sun and use sunscreen in the region, avoiding heat as much as possible, including a hair dryer.
  • Do not wash your eyebrows in hot water for 48 hours.
  • To clean the area, use cocoa lipstick to keep the area hydrated.
  • Do not exfoliate to help remove crusts (peel) and do not scratch the area that has been pigmented.
  • Do not go to the sauna, pool and sea for the first 15 days.
  • Do not wear makeup until complete healing.
  • Do not use creams with acids on the spot.
  • Do not drink alcohol for 48 hours.

  Pamela points out that in the case of lip micropigmentation, the use of specific medication for healing for up to 15 days is recommended.
