Skin Enhancement

What is Skin Enhancement?
Micro-pigmentation -- sometimes referred to as "permanent make-up" -- is a technique in which minute, metabolically inert pigment granules are implanted below the epidermis for cosmetic and/or corrective enhancement.

This ancient Asian beautification practice has gained popularity around the world.

Micro-pigmentation is used to enhance facial features like eyebrows, lashes and lips; to improve conditions like scarring and vitiligo (uneven pigmentation); or to reconstruct the nipple/areola area of the breast.

What are the benefits of having Skin Enhancement done?
No downtime and resumption of most normal activities within 24 hours for the majority of patients.

*The pigments used are made from safe, generally non-reactive compounds approved by the FDA.

*The process is relatively quick (for example, an upper and lower lash line takes about 30 to 40 minutes).

*Skin returns to normal by the next day. Swelling or redness is generally mild.

*Mild discomfort during procedure is avoided using topical and/or local anesthesia.

*Good alternative for women with make-up allergies (although procedure is designed to enhance features, not replace make-up altogether).

*Pigments are individually mixed for customized results, and designed to look natural. Results can be seen immediately (although full end result will be seen in about three weeks).

How Does The Laser Clinic perform Skin Enhancement?
Typically, two treatments are needed, one or more weeks apart. Needles penetrate the skin a few millimeters, in what is basically a tattooing process.

Skin Enhancement should be considered a permanent procedure. Laser surgery is required to remove pigment.

*Patients must avoid direct sunlight, refrain from applying make-up, and wearing contact lenses for a few days, and avoid swimming for several weeks.

*A small number of patients may experience allergic reaction or infection.

*Pigments may cause interference with cranial MRI scans.

What Kind of Results Can I Expect?
The Laser Clinic skin enhancement treatment can effectively enhance facial features like eyebrows, lashes and lips; improve conditions like scarring and vitiligo (uneven pigmentation); or to reconstruct the nipple/areola area of the breast after cosmetic or reconstructive surgery.

Results may vary based on patient's expectations, number of treatments, and patient's skin type. Your Laser Clinic technician will counsel you on realistic results, alternative options and what to expect from the treatment.
