permanency of micropigmentation
The permanency of Micropigmentation procedures depends on the skins ability to absorb the pigment, the health of the skin and the pigment colour implanted. The pigments are implanted into the upper dermal area of the skin.
The pigments will fade over a period of time varying from two to five years after which time a re-touch will be necessary. As aging is a continual process of natural lightening of the skin and hair, the fading rate of the pigments gives the opportunity to change the pigment colour with each re-touch, to suit the bodies colour changes.
Two visits are generally required, the original treatment, followed up by a second treatment 6-8 weeks later. Further touchup treatments will be necessary to keep the colour intensity as needed.

discomfort factor of micropigmentation procedures
Excellent numbing agents have been especially developed for all procedures; however, some discomfort has to be expected. The discomfort factor varies from one person to another. Eighty to ninety percent of clients cope very well with all procedures. There is a Topical Anaesthetic for application before the treatment and two gels for application during the procedure for extra comfort.
