A Comprehensive Guide To Getting Skin Micropigmentation
Medical tattooing procedures such as micro-pigmentation are often used in cosmetic and plastic surgery. An injection of pigment into the skin or scalp involves the introduction of needles to change its color.
As most of us know, tattooing has been practiced since ancient times, primarily for cosmetic reasons. The same procedure is now used in medicine as well as skin micro-pigmentation. Several skin and scalp conditions have been treated with it, especially when there is a loss of skin color. Several skin cells called melanocytes produce melanin, which is responsible for the color of the skin. In any condition that causes loss of melanocytes, the skin in that area will lighten.
Given below is a comprehensive guide to getting a skin micro-pigmentation
Can Micropigmentation Be Done In Certain Conditions?
The following conditions have used micro-pigmentation as a treatment:
A variety of causes can lead to hair thinning and balding, including genetic disorders, chemotherapy, thyroid disorders, etc. Bald patches are often filled in with hair remaining on people’s scalps with hair thinning.
Due to the difference in density between the original scalp hair and the hair implanted, this may not always work. Micropigmentation can be applied to the scalp to darken its color to match the hair. By doing so, the hair will appear fuller, and the bald patches will appear less noticeable.
For people with complete baldness on the scalp, an entire scalp micro pigmentation procedure is performed. The procedure does not stimulate hair growth, but rather the illusion is created that the person has shaved short hair. They can even select what kind of hairline they want.
Those who avoid wearing wigs or undergoing hair transplants will find scalp micro-pigmentation particularly useful. As a result of illness or chemotherapy, patients whose eyebrows have thinned could benefit from the same procedure. This process is called Eyebrow – Microblading, as the strokes resembling hair blades, are made to make the eyebrows look fuller.
A white patch of skin appears when the melanin-producing cells of the skin cease to function due to vitiligo. White patches may not be noticeable on lighter skin, but they are more apparent in darker-tone individuals. To make the patches appear like the surrounding skin, pigment is applied to darken them. It is most effective on small patches on the lips and fingertips.
Using Micropigmentation To Treat
1)Hypo/Depigmentation
Several other conditions can cause light patches on the skin. For example, contact leukoderma may cause white patches after certain chemicals. After a trauma or surgical procedure, scarring destroys the skin cells and causes lighter patches to appear. Such patches can be concealed through micro-pigmentation, for example, cleft lip and cleft palate scars, burn scars, or after a cosmetic procedure like vermilion plasty, which is applied to the lips.
2) Semi-permanent Makeup
In addition to using micro-pigmentation for cosmetic purposes, micro-pigmentation can also be used for Semi-permanent makeup, such as lip liners to make the lips appear fuller or eyeliners to make the eyes appear more prominent.
3) Breast Cancer Treatment
Breast cancer is sometimes treated with the removal of the whole breast, which is then replaced with an implant. Micropigmentation can create a more realistic appearance for the artificial breast by creating an artificial nipple and areola on the breast skin.
Traumatic scarring of the cornea can lead to corneal opacities. This causes a patch of opaque tissue, which makes vision impossible. The cornea can be grafted to restore sight in these patients. In some cases, grafting may not be possible for some reason, in which case micro-pigmentation may be used to change the color of the opacity.
Micropigmentation does not improve vision but makes the eyes appear more appealing from a cosmetic standpoint.
Micropigmentation: How Does It Work?
A pigment is injected into the skin using needles and an instrument during micro-pigmentation. In addition to iron oxide and titanium dioxide, mercuric sulfate and cadmium sulfate are used as pigments. It may be necessary to mix colors to achieve the exact shade the patient is looking for. Vegetable-based organic pigments are also available and may be safer than those made of iron oxide.
Aseptic conditions are required for micro-pigmentation. A manual or electrically driven instrument introduces the pigment into the skin between the upper and middle dermis. An antiseptic is applied to the area where the procedure will take place. You can prevent pain by using or injecting a local anesthetic.
Is Micropigmentation A Good Or A Bad Idea?
The procedure of micro-pigmentation doesn’t come without disadvantages. Some of the advantages are:
- Contrary to some other cosmetic procedures, this procedure is relatively simple to perform and is relatively inexpensive
- Although the exact color may not be apparent for several days, the results are immediate
- Although you might require touch-ups if the effect fades, the effect lasts a long time.
Micropigmentation may have the following disadvantages:
- To touch up a new patch that is lighter, it must be more delicate than the one it replaces; a darker patch will worsen the appearance. The pigmentation may need to be reversed by additional procedures such as laser or dermabrasion.
- The process cannot be performed on the palms and soles.
Conclusion
Micropigmentation is a cosmetic procedure that involves inserting a thin needle and hypoallergenic mineral pigment into the second layer of your skin to enhance the appearance of your eyes, eyebrows, lips, and more.
