What Is Micro-Pigmentation?

Micro-Pigmentation is a revolutionary, advanced form of tattooing. It is a highly skilled, precision procedure in which small amounts of pharmaceutical grade, hypo-allergenic pigments are carefully and precisely implanted into the upper dermal layer of the skin using specially designed equipment.

The specialised implantation methods and pigments used within micro-pigmentation differ greatly from that of conventional tattooing. This method does not have the same permanency as conventional tattoos, hence why the technique is also referred to as a ‘semi-permanent’ tattooing. These specialised techniques are also, otherwise known as, Permanent Cosmetics, Permanent Makeup (PMU), Semi-Permanent Makeup (SPM or SPMU), Cosmetic and Medical Tattooing, Medical Micro-Pigmention and Dermal Graphics.

Due to this delicate implantation positioning within the skin, the pigments used break down, fade and diminish over time. It is important that this fading process occurs, as over time the face / body shape and structure will change significantly due to the natural ageing process. An eyebrow shape and positioning that once suited a client within their 20’s would not then be so suitable for that client within their 70’s.

This ingenious method of tattooing teamed with the vast array of beautiful pigment choices has many uses. Cosmetically, it can be used to enhance natural beauty with subtle, natural looking enhancements for the Eyebrows, Lips and Eyes. Medically it can be used to address a multitude of inhibiting medical concerns, such as hair loss, skin pigmentation imperfections, scar camouflage, and nipple-areola complex restoration and re-pigmentation following reconstructive surgery.

Vitiligo & Skin Depigmentation

Depigmentation is the lightening of the skin caused by the lack or loss of Melanin, a pigment within the skin. Depigmentation of the skin can be caused by injury and trauma and in many cases by a condition known as Vitiligo.
Vitiligo is a long-term condition characterised by patches of skin losing their pigment due to a deficiency in the meloncyte cells which produce pigment, giving the skin its natural colour. Vitiligo can affect any area of skin, but most commonly occurs upon the face, neck and hands, and in skin creases appearing in the form of noticeable ‘white patches’. Medical micro-pigmentation is a ground-breaking solution for Vitiligo and Depigmentation.

With the use of specialised medical tattooing techniques, the treatment infuses custom blended, medical grade pigments into the skin, successfully blending-out and camouflaging the affected areas.

Treatment Suitability

Medical micro-pigmentation treatment for Vitiligo is suitable for those individuals whose condition;
  • Has been in remission for 3 years +
  • Covers smaller areas (extremely large areas are unsuitable for treatment)

Treatment Plan

The treatment process will require multiple appointment sessions to reach the desired result. The number of sessions required is entirely dependent upon the size, nature and location of the area being treated, and upon the client’s circumstances and requirements.

The first appointment will consist of the consultation and the treatment procedure. The following appointments will be a repeat, perfecting sessions of the initial treatment procedure.

A work of art cannot be rushed! Treatment durations vary depending upon how advanced or detailed the required results are. The priority is to achieve the best possible result and to do this it is necessary to allow sufficient time to complete the procedure. Please allow up to 2 – 4 hours for your initial medical micro-pigmentation treatment appointment. The full treatment requires multiple treatment sessions in order to carefully layer the pigments into the skin so as to achieve maximum retention of colour and shape.

The treated area must be allowed to heal for 4 – 6 weeks following treatment before subsequent treatments.

Treatment price will be provided at consultation and changed per treatment session.

Consultation

Prior to treatments a comprehensive consultation will take place which includes the completion of a medical history assessment questionnaire, essential for determining treatment suitability, along with product patch testing. A thorough discussion of the client’s requirements and expectations will be established in order to determine the best treatment solution.

During the consultation the camouflage pigment colours will be determined with equal input from both the client and practitioner, taking into careful consideration the natural skins colouring, tone and texture. If required a microscopic ‘colour match’ test upon the depigmented skin can be undertaken to assess the development of the pigment over a month, to provide a realistic impression of how the effect will look long term. Only when the client is completely satisfied and confident with these choices will the treatment commence.

Following Treatment

Normal activities may be resumed immediately following the procedure. There will be slight tenderness, swelling and redness to the treated area which will generally subside within 72 hours.

The intensity of the colour will be significantly darker immediately following the procedure. This will reduce and soften during the healing process to deliver a more subtle, natural look.

The healing duration will take approximately 5 – 10 days, during which some fine crusting will occur which will naturally flake away during the healing period. It is crucial to the final results of the medical enhancement that this crusting is not touched or removed prematurely whilst healing, and that the additional aftercare guidelines are adhered to for sufficient healing and to avoid any post treatment complications.

Full aftercare instructions will be provided both verbally and in hard copy following the procedure, together with an aftercare healing balm.

The longevity of medical micro-pigmentation is variable from person to person based upon factors such as skin type, age and general lifestyle. It is recommended that medical enhancements be periodically maintained in the form of a ‘colour-boost’ re-touch to keep them looking fresh and at their optimum shape and colour. Generally, colour-boosts are recommended for every 12 – 18 months following the initial procedure.

Cleft Lip Restoration

Cleft Lip restoration is performed on a daily basis within the UK and achieves outstanding results. Micro-pigmentation treatment is commonly used following cleft lip and cleft Lip surgery, as it is the ideal solution for aesthetically rebalancing and restoring the lip area.

Scar Camouflage

A scar is the result from the biological process of wound repair in the skin following injury. Scars are most commonly the result of accidents, surgical procedures, diseases, burns and skin grafts and vary greatly in appearance, size and positioning. Often scars resulting from any of these events have the potential to impose a negative impact both emotionally and physically. Scar camouflage micro-pigmentation is an ideal solution for those individuals who are affected by the appearance of scaring upon their face or body, as it successfully camouflages and conceals the noticeability of the scaring, in turn aiding in restoring and regaining inner confidence.

Scar Camouflage Micro-pigmentation is the unique use of medical grade pigments being infused into scarred tissue using specialised medical tattooing techniques to diminish it’s prominance and noticeability. The pigments used are individually custom blended to perfectly match the surrounding skin in tone, texture and general appearance so as to effectively camouflage the visible scar.

This procedure also has the added benefit of, a Micro-Needling Treatment (MCA) with the pigment implantation. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process thus improving the natural texture and flexibility of the scar.

(Please view ‘MCA’ section for more details upon this subject)

  • It is vital that the skin is not sun tanned at the time of scar camouflage treatment. The implanted skin shade needs to be correctly colour-matched to the natural colour of the skin to avoid any colour changes once the sun tan has faded
  • Sun tanning following scar camouflage treatment is not advisable as the treated area will not tan as the surrounding skin will, it will remain the natural re-pigmented skin colour

Scalp Micro-Pigmentation

Hair loss is a common problem which can occur for a number of reasons. Naturally the ageing process can take its toll, affecting some more than others by the way of hair thinning, receding hairlines, full or partial baldness. The autoimmune condition ‘Alopecia’ is another cause, occurring when the immune system attacks the hair follicles resulting in baldness anywhere upon the head, face and body.

Hair loss for any reason can have an overwhelmingly detrimental impact upon a person’s emotional well-being and self confidence.

Scalp Micro-Pigmentation (SMP), also referred to as Hair Follicle Replication, or Follicle Restoration, is a fantastic solution for hair loss for both males and females. With the use of specialised medical tattooing techniques and pharmaceutical grade pigments it is possible to create the realistic illusion of hair upon the scalp, camouflaging and concealing the unwanted presence of hair loss.

Testimonial

After my mastectomy, I was grateful to be cancer-free, but every time I looked in the mirror, the scars were a painful reminder of what I had lost. I didn’t feel whole, and I struggled to connect with my reflection. Choosing medical tattooing was one of the most healing steps in my recovery. The results went beyond my expectations, the scars are softened, my shape and colour restored, and for the first time since surgery, I feel feminine again. It’s hard to put into words the impact this has had on my confidence and self-esteem. This treatment has given me back a part of myself I thought was gone forever.
