Permanency of Micropigmentation

The permanency of Micropigmentation procedures depends on the skins ability to absorb the pigment, the health of the skin and the pigment colour implanted. The pigments are implanted into the upper dermal area of the skin.

The pigments will fade over a period of time varying from two to five years after which time a re-touch will be necessary. As aging is a continual process of natural lightening of the skin and hair, the fading rate of the pigments gives the opportunity to change the pigment colour with each re-touch, to suit the bodies colour changes. For example, if the pigments did not fade gradually, dark coloured eyebrows on a twenty or thirty year old may look great, but by the age of fifty or sixty would not be at all flattering. [Return]

Discomfort Factor of Micropigmentation Procedures

Excellent numbing agents have been especially developed for all procedures; however, some discomfort has to be expected. The discomfort factor varies from one person to another. Eighty to ninety percent of clients cope very well with all procedures. There is a Topical Anaesthetic for application before the treatment and two gels for application during the procedure for extra comfort. [Return]

The Cost of Micropigmentation Procedures

Only the very best quality equipment and pigments are used for these highly skilled procedures. Carol Beech uses the same machines and pigments that are used in the Training Institutes and Clinics around the world. Cost depends on the area being treated, amount of pigment used, equipment, and topical anaesthetic, time the treatment takes and the skill of the operator. The cost of the procedure should include a follow-up treatment to be given six to eight weeks after the initial treatment. The reasons for this are that the pigment may not heal evenly in the skin after the first treatment. The client may decide that more pigment needs to be added to a particular area to further enhance the feature. The colour may have healed too light or may have healed too dark. These changes can be made at the follow-up appointment. The individual cost of each area is mentioned in the write-up regarding that particular feature. [Return]

Choosing a Technician

Cost should not be the most important issue when consulting a potential practitioner. Most important is the training and the skill of the operator. The consultation is of vital importance where confidence in the practitioner is established.

Make sure you are given the opportunity to discuss the shape and choose the colour. As the client, it is important that you feel sure that the operator understands exactly what you want. Ensure that you are given after-care instructions, so you know exactly how to care for your investment. [Return]
