What does Permanent Makeup - Micropigmentation do?
Habitually the permanent makeup or micropigmentation
is used to delineate lips, brows and lids, to camouflage scars,
to paint breast areolas - that commonly get lost because of
mastectomies - and to soften or to hide the consequences of
some illnesses like the vitiligo and other skin affections.
Plenitas offers two kinds of permanent makeup:
 Cosmetic
permanent make-up, a water and perspiration proof
make-up that rejuvenates the aspect of the face.
Medical
micropigmentation, a complement to the plastic and
reparative surgery to hide scars, stains or to draw nonexistent
lines.
The needles of the dermography implant the pigments in the
epidermis and superficial dermis of the areas to be treated.
The pigments are composed of iron oxide and titanium dioxide
and they are approved for medical use.
The most used ones are inorganic so they are less allergenic
and not toxic or irritant for the skin. The particles are
big, less soluble and stable. In this way they last for a
long time and get diluted uniformly. The strategy varies according
to each body area and the wanted results. For example, if
you want to enlarge a very thin lip, it is defined on the
outside of its real line and it is vanished inside with a
vermilion color.
On the other hand, if you
want to fill the brows, brown colors are used to complete the empty spaces.
It is not convenient to perform micropigmentation in patients with the
following characteristics:
Active herpes
near the area to be treated
Infections, dental
abscesses, conjunctivitis or acne
Tendency to have
cheloid scars
Warts, moles and
angiomas
Diabetes
Pregnant women
People with psychiatric
disorders
With blood dyscrasias
