Micropigmentation involves the use of very fine tattooing needles to insert pigment into the skin. The pigment is custom blended to match the desired colour and sometimes requires a couple of treatments before the colour match gives a lasting result (due to natural mild fading after treatment). The treatment can be used for aesthetic purposes for lip lining, eyebrows, eyelash thickening, lip blushing, areolar darkening and to make a beauty spot. Micropigmentation can also be used for reconstruction purposes, and can be used for scar improvement, burns improvement, skin graft camouflage, further tattoo removal after laser treatment is complete and for darkening the areolar area of the breast (after breast uplift, reduction and reconstruction, where the areola can sometimes lose its roundness or may be too light).
