Micropigmentation is a process whereby hypo-allergic pigments are inserted into the dermal layer of the skin. Following the healing process, the pigment stays in the skin for number of years. How long it stays under the skin depends on patient-to-patient basis of age, skin type and lifestyle.
I do medical micropigmentation to areas on the skin that are missing pigment/colour post-injury, trauma, birth defect or post-surgery. I often look at other options for you before committing straight to Micropigment, as there are different treatments that could give you better results. It is always advised for better results to have some sessions of Microneedling before going ahead with micropigmentation to retexture the skin making it more able to hold onto the pigment.
What do I treat?
• Breast uplift/ reconstructive scars (cosmetic, cleft lip)
• Burns and scar camouflage
• Contracture relaxation trauma scars
• Surgical scars
• Ice pick, box car or acne scars
• Stretch marks
• Skin graft re-colouration
• Hypertrophic
• Contractual (scar tissue that is tight and might have nerve endings twined)
• Re-pigmentation vitiligo (as long as it has stopped migrating for 7+ years)
If you don’t know what kind of scar you have then please feel free to contact me and I can assist you in figuring it out (as I am not a doctor, we may need to seek for a doctor's opinion/ diagnosis).
In some cases, patients may require having top up sessions or returning for some colour adjustment and repositioning of the pigment. I always do a thorough consultation for each patient going through the different options they have and making sure this is the correct treatment for them.
