Micropigmentation has been called permanent make-up for the skin. The treatment is basically a tattooing procedure. Micropigmentation is used either as a cosmetic enhancement or as a corrective procedure for uneven skin pigmentation.

In its cosmetic use, micropigmentation can be used to enhance the lips and eyes. Small amounts of colored granules are implanted by injection into the surface of the skin. When the pigment granules are injected into the lips, they make the lips look darker. Over time, skin pigmentation in the lips fades, and this procedure is used to bring back color to these areas.

Another application of micropigmentation that has recently been growing in popularity includes scalp and hairline tattooing, where the goal is to mimic the neat, shaved down look of a man with a full head of hair, that has simply been shaved. This look has become very popular recently and has been inspired by the hair fashions of the afro-american community.

Hollywood actor Vin Diesel, rumour to have used micropigmentation to hide his hair loss

Hollywood actor Vin Diesel has been rumoured to have used micropigmentation to thicken up the look of his balding scalp.

The micropigmentation procedure is relatively quick and painless. It takes around 40 minutes, depending on the size of the area. There may be some mild discomfort involved, but it is no more painful than plucking your eyebrows or undergoing electrolysis. An anesthetic can be used to numb any discomfort during the procedure. There may be some swelling to the skin, but the skin should return to normal in twenty-four hours.

Micropigmentation is a permanent procedure, but fading will eventually occur. This usually happens within three to five years, depending on the color of the skin.

Micropigmentation can be considered an art. It takes careful attention to detail and a skilled hand to achieve. The American Academy of Micropigmentation exists to improve the quality of the procedures. If you are considering micropigmentation, look for practitioners who have been certified and have passed exams on the procedures involved.
