- Abstract
- Beauty make up in order to stimulate the appearance and express the identity has become a commonly performed cosmetic procedure. Recently developed permanent make up is the introduction of micropigment into the dermis. The pigmenting procedure is achieved by a single or triple needle coated with pigment, moving rapidly in a reciprocating fashion. It maintains cosmetic effect about 5 years. Contrary to old fashioned tattooing, micropigmentation produces various color and gradually the color is faded. So, after several years when the pigmentation color is faded, a patient can cope with new fashion. We introduce micropigmentation method in eyebrow and eyelashes. From september 2002 to 2005, a total 132 patients(4 men and 128 women) had been treated with micropigmentation. We have had 132 cases of scanty eyebrows, 68 cases of thin eyelashes. After 24 months follow-up period, we achieved satisfactory results.
