Micropigmentation is a popular, modern permanent cosmetic technique. Similar to a tattoo, a small needle is used to apply pigment into the second layer of skin. Many people opt for this treatment to apply permanent cosmetics to their eyebrows, eyelids, or lips; however, there are medical uses for this technique, too.

3 Ways Micropigmentation Helps Patients

1. Camouflage Scars

If you have a scar from an injury, micropigmentation will help conceal the skin discoloration. During the treatment, a technician will add a skin-toned pigment onto the affected area with a thin needle. The hue will closely resemble your skin tone, and it’ll recolor the scar so that it blends with the surrounding area. This permanent cosmetic treatment is also known as camouflage micropigmentation, and it can address different types of skin discoloration, including scars from burns and surgery as well as stretch marks.

2. Restore Areolas

Micropigmentation is popular among breast cancer survivors as it’s non-surgical and customized, allowing them to make their body appear the way they want after reconstructive surgery. First, a technician will create a custom hue based on your skin tone and use it to color the areola. Then, the pigment is applied around the nipple to create a natural-looking breast.

3. Conceal Thinning Hair

Sometimes, medical treatments, like chemotherapy, cause unwanted side effects, like loss of hair. Popular among men and women who don’t qualify for transplants, micropigmentation will color the scalp, effectively hiding patches of thinning or missing hair. Patients can also create their own hairline during the process.
