The micro-pigmentation process is gaining popularity rapidly, and this cosmetic treatment is becoming common in several clinics in the UK. Keep reading to know more about this treatment, why it is used and how long it lasts.
What is Micro-pigmentation?
Micropigmentation also referred to as medical tattoos, permanent makeup, and cosmetic tattoos, is the procedure of colouring the part of the body that has lost its colour. This treatment is used for a variety of reasons and involves the use of microneedles to place pigment into the skin. As new colour is deposited to the skin below the surface, it can be compared to having a tattoo. The main uses of this treatment are for Nipple reconstruction of breast cancer patients, scalp pigmentation, enhancement of eyebrows, lips colour, and as an eyeliner on eyelids. It is also used to improve scars and even out the skin colour often caused by vitiligo.
How long does micro-pigmentation last?
Well, it is highly dependent on the way micro pigmentation is performed and is taken care of after the treatment. One of the most common uses of micro-pigmentation is scalp colouring. Scalp micro-pigmentation is considered a permanent treatment and can last for more than six years. In most cases, micro-pigmentation lasts permanently, but sometimes, it starts to fade out after 4 to 5 years and requires a touchup. For better and long-lasting results, micro-pigmentation is often performed over 2 to 3 sessions with a gap of 10 to 14days in between each session.
However, fading after the first session is normal and for the long-lasting effect, the second and third session is performed. These two sessions after the first treatment help to create more density and fullness.
