Who are good candidates for micropigmentation?

Anyone – male or female – can get micropigmentation. If you are a person who wants to look their best while avoiding the physical challenges of applying makeup, micropigmentation may be especially appropriate for you.

Some medical conditions that make applying or using makeup challenging include:

• Conditions that result in unsteady hands, such as severe arthritis, multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease.
• Conditions that result in poor eyesight, such as cataracts or macular degeneration.

Micropigmentation may also be a treatment or solution to some medical conditions including:

• As a follow up to reconstructive surgery to the face.
• To replace eyebrows that are thinning due to age or underlying medical conditions.
• To camouflage lack of color to the skin due to vitiligo.
• To recreate an areola (area around the nipple) after breast surgery.
• As a permanent solution if you have allergies to traditional, temporary makeup.

Micropigmentation procedures are also considered for purely personal reasons, such as:

• You don’t like applying makeup on a daily basis.
• You’d like to have fuller looking or better defined eyebrows or eyelashes.
• You’d like better defined or richer colored lips.
• You have scars you’d like to improve with tattoo pigment.
