Micropigmentation of the eyebrow step by step

The wire-to-wire eyebrow, also known as eyebrow micropigmentation, consists of an aesthetic procedure in which a pigment is applied to the epidermis, in the eyebrow region, to highlight and leave it more defined and with a more beautiful shape. Therefore, the person may feel pain during the technique, but usually, a local anesthetic is applied before the procedure, in order to reduce discomfort.

This procedure must be performed in an aesthetic clinic, by a specialized professional, with specific material and it is also very important to follow the appropriate care after the technique, in order to obtain the best results.

The price of micropigmentation of the eyebrow can vary between 500 and 2000 reais, depending on the clinic where it is performed.

Procedure step by step

Generally, the eyebrow micropigmentation procedure is performed by the following steps:

1. Drawing of the eyebrow with a pencil suitable for the skin; Application of a topical anesthetic, leaving it feeling for a few minutes; Cleaning and disinfection of the region; Preparation of the pigment that should be of the original eyebrow tone and close to the root of the hair; Drawing of the strands the eyebrow with a dermograph or tebori; if a dermograph is used, the pigment is applied simultaneously. If a tebori is used, the next step is to apply the pigment; Cleaning the region.

To perform this procedure, it is very important to use sterile and / or disposable material and follow the care recommended by the professional who performed the technique. In addition, the ink must be of high quality and approved by Anvisa, since, if it is of poor quality, it can change tone and cause allergies and infections.

Care after the procedure

In the days following the procedure, a cone will appear, which should not be removed to avoid compromising pigmentation and healing.

In addition, care should be taken, especially in the first 30 days after the procedure and avoid sun exposure, avoid rubbing the area after bathing, avoid going to swimming pools, saunas and beaches and applying a moisturizing and nourishing oil daily, about 3 times a day.

About a month after the procedure, the pressure must return to the clinic so that the professional can verify that everything is fine and that he can perform the necessary touch-ups.

Risks of micropigmentation

Although it is rare, in some cases, micropigmentation can lead to the formation of spots on the skin or hinder the growth of hair in the region.

How long does it last

As the pigment is applied to the epidermis and not to the dermis, micropigmentation is not definitive, as with tattoos, lasting only about 1 to 2 years. The time that the staining lasts depends on the type of device used, being more durable if a dermograph is used instead of a tebori.

Who should not do

The wire-to-wire eyebrow should not be performed on allergic people, who have an infection near the application area or who have difficulty healing.

In addition, it should also not be performed on pregnant women, women who are breastfeeding, diabetics, unstable hypertensive patients, people taking anticoagulants, who have had surgery recently, with cancer or who suffer from eye problems.
