Thin Eyebrow Treatment Using Micropigmentation
Eyebrow hair loss is a common symptom of thyroid deficiency. If you’re losing hair from your brows, Dr. Sergio Verduzco recommends making an appointment with your doctor to get your thyroid checked.
Reproductive hormone changes can also play a part, and dermatologists believe the same factors that cause hair loss from the scalp, a common problem for women as they age, may contribute to thinning brows. Thinning brows are also a common side effect of other conditions such as atopic dermatitis, or eczema, due to inflammation and itching around the brow area. A dermatologist can recommend medications and topical treatments to help. Sparse brows could also be caused be a nutritional deficiency—though that’s not usually a problem if you eat a relatively healthy, consistent diet.
Overgrooming could also make all of these worse. “We also see thinning eyebrows, especially in women, as a result of too much tweezing or waxing earlier in life. If the hair follicles suffer trauma and die out as a result, a permanent thinning of the eyebrows can occur,”
What is Micropigmentation?
Micropigmentation, also referred as semi permanent make-up or dermal-pigmentation, is a process whereby completely natural inorganic pigments are implanted beneath the epidermis (top layer of skin), into the dermal layer (second layer of skin), by needle micro insertion. This technique has been medically developed and specifically designed for a safe semi permanent application. Permanent cosmetics is a safe and natural-looking alternative to the expense and daily routine of applying makeup upon waking in the morning and often times throughout the day. It is a state-of-the-art technique of applying long lasting makeup via intradermal micropigmentation. Properly applied by an experienced physician, nurse or technician, micropigmentation will be more natural and realistic in appearance as compared to conventional cosmetics. The medical grade pigments used have been specially formulated for this kind of procedure.
Why Micropigmentation is not Tattooing?
Most of people refer to micropigmentation as cosmetic tattooing, which is incorrect. The principle seems to be similar to tattooing in that a pigment is implanted into the skin, but the aesthetic result is quite different. Micropigmentation cannot be done with tattoo pigments, it would result in pigment migration between the layers of the skin, leaving dark spots or even blotches. Tattoo machines are not appropriate to do this delicate job: tattoo needles reach a deeper layer resulting in cold undertones (Ex: blue/gray eyebrows and eyeliners, purple lip liners). Tattoo techniques are not able to provide natural effects, like hair by hair (stroke by stroke) and multidimensional eyebrows and lips corrections.
Micropigmentation is done in 2 or even 3 sessions. Initially a sketch is done with regular make-up once the shape and color will be defined and the client will have a close idea about the final appearance. The touch up is done 30 days after to enhance the color and give a perfect finish. Sometimes, a second touch up is required when the client wishes bold eyeliners or darker eyebrows. Micropigmentation procedures are much more tolerable than tattoo. On micropigmentation numbing anesthetic cream is generously applied 20 minutes before the procedure and is reapplied to avoid any uncomfortable pain.
