HOW LONG IT TAKES DERMOPIGMENTATION?

The treatment is carried out in a consulting room and lasts for 1 to 1.5 hours. If anaesthetic cream is used, it takes 40 to 50 minutes.

CARE AFTER DERMOPIGMENTATION

Recovery after micropigmentation can vary depending on the area treated and the type of procedure carried out. However, there are some general guidelines that are recommended to guarantee the expected results.

First days:

• Avoid touching or scratchingThe treated area can become sensitive, and it is essential not to touch, scratch or rub the skin to avoid infection or alter the healing process.
• Avoid sun exposureDuring recovery, it is important to avoid direct exposure to the sun, especially in the first few days, as this can affect the fixation of the pigments and cause skin irritation.
• Avoid hot water and excessive sweatingAvoid hot baths, saunas, swimming pools and intense physical activity.
• Gentle sanitisationWash the treated area with warm water and a neutral soap, using clean hands. Do not use abrasive sponges or towels. You can also use a compress with saline solution.
• MoisturisingApply a specific healing or moisturising ointment recommended by the professional to help the skin recover.

7-15 days:

• Scabs and flakingAfter the procedure, it is normal for scabs or peeling to appear on the treated area. Don't try to peel them off, as this can jeopardise the final result and even cause scarring.
• Care with make-up and cosmeticsAvoid wearing make-up or other cosmetics on the treated area until healing is complete (usually 7 to 10 days). This includes avoiding the use of creams or sunscreens, unless recommended by the professional.
• Do not expose to wind or chlorineAvoid exposure to strong wind or products such as chlorine that can irritate the skin during the healing process.

Final results (3 to 4 weeks):

• Review: depending on the technique and the area treated, a touch-up may be necessary after around 30 to 45 days, when the healing and pigment fixation process is complete. The second session is important to correct any areas that have not absorbed the pigment in the desired way.
• Permanent fixingthe complete healing process and the final setting of the pigment can take 4 to 6 weeks. During this time, the colour may appear more intense and then soften a little, reaching its final tone.

Complications associated with micropigmentation rarely occur. In any case, there are warning signs such as excessive redness, discharge or intense pain. In these cases, you should contact your professional to assess the best treatment.
