Are There Really Differences Between the Two Techniques?
Micropigmentation is a treatment that has various names such as permanent makeup or permanent eyeliner. In our country, it is mainly known as micropigmentation or permanent makeup.
Sometimes the technique of micropigmentation is confused with tattooing, but it is important to keep in mind that both techniques are different, as they are not the same procedure.
What Are the Differences Between Both Procedures?
Although the technique of micropigmentation is similar to tattooing, they have several differences to consider.
First of all, it is important to know that the duration of a tattoo is permanent, while micropigmentation is semi-permanent.
Tattoos are performed at a greater depth in our skin, so they are much more aggressive to our tissues. The needles of the machines used for tattoos can reach an approximate depth of about 7 millimeters below our skin, while with the micropigmentation technique the needle used and designed for this purpose (dermograph) only penetrates about 2 or 3 millimeters, since it is specially designed for the facial area due to the very fine class of skin we have on our face (eyelids, dark circles, eyebrows, lips, etc.). This is the main reason why a tattoo lasts longer over time, and over the years a blurry effect of the tattoo begins to occur due to dispersion in the skin.
Another important difference between micropigmentation and tattooing is the pigments used. The micropigmentation technique uses much more selective pigments, which comply with a series of health standards, besides being hypoallergenic to avoid any inconvenience for patients who decide to undergo a treatment or method of this type.
In micropigmentation, rigorous control of hygiene and asepsis is followed with the pigments used to offer maximum safety to each and every patient who undergoes this technique.
When a tattoo is performed, foreign elements can enter our body by crossing the protective barriers (skin and/or mucous membranes), which can cause problems and infections for the patient, while with the micropigmentation procedure there are hardly any complications for the patient, since all the steps performed in the intervention are carried out with the maximum guarantees of safety and hygiene for the patients.
