Micropigmentation (Semi Permanent Make-Up)

The specialist techniques used to create a kind of semi-permanent make-up are often referred to as micropigmentation. This procedure can simply be described as minute particles of coloured pigment being placed mechanically below the surface of the skin. This treatment can be used to correct scarred or discoloured skin following accident, surgery or disease or merely as a cosmetic enhancement for your skin. The most frequently requested procedures are permanent colour to the eyebrows, top and bottom eyeliner shading, lip liner and full lips/lip blend, beauty spot and freckle treatments.

Although the treatment fades after approximately 2 - 4 years, as the skin re-grows, some colour will remain to a greater or lesser degree. Hence, some people refer to this as a permanent make-up treatment, even if the skin colour has faded significantly from its original colour. Please take into account that although the pigment does fade over time, it may never completely disappear.

Depending on the area being treated, and your tolerance of pain, an anaesthetic cream may be applied first to help reduce any pain. A very fine needle is then used to place pigment into the skin at a very high speed via a small hand held electrical device. Micropigmentation can be compared to having a tattoo as the new pigment or colour is deposited in the dermal layer of the skin, just below the surface. You can return to work and normal activities immediately after a treatment.

The cost of micropigmentation can vary considerably from approximately £75 for beauty spots, to £300 - £550 for eyebrows, top eyeliner and bottom eyeliner and £500 for lip liner; with recreation of the areola surrounding the nipple on a breast following re-constructive surgery costing approximately £500 per breast.
