A very specialised, semi-permanent technique where a vegetable dye (pigment) is implanted into the skin to create eyebrows, eyeliner, beauty spots and lip liner.
A special machine and disposable needles are used to implant the line of colour into the skin. This is a delicate undertaking and is performed under the utmost sterile conditions.
Micropigmentation is mildly uncomfortable, however numbing cream is used to reduce any discomfort. A treatment takes about 30-60 minutes. Colours are chosen and blended to illuminate the eyes and shape eyebrows, resulting in a natural look.
It may be necessary to re-treat the area 2-4 weeks after the original treatment because the colour fades between 30-50% for most people, initially. It then lasts from 2-5 years depending on skin type and the colour chosen.
Currently available at our Taranaki, Silverdale and Warkworth Clinics.
