The eyebrows are one of the most important parts of the face since one way or another can completely change the expression, hence it is essential to always wear them well shaved and wear a design according to your eyes. Trends also mark our preferences, if a few years ago the finest formats were the ones that triumphed among women around the world,  today celebrities such as Camilla Belle or Cara Delevingne have made populated and wild ones fashionable, but not all women can choose this option due to the lack of hair in the area and then what to do? Micropigmentation is established as a great alternative to cover small bald spots and even increase the size of the eyebrows. If you are thinking of undergoing this treatment you have surely raised some doubts, here are seven frequently resolved questions to dissolve them at once.

Frequently asked questions about eyebrow micropigmentation.

    Can the pigments used cause allergies and are they safe? If you go to specialised centres you will not have any problem since they have pigments that are fully compatible with the body, but it can cause allergic reactions, therefore before undergoing the treatment the specialist must perform a tolerance test to ensure that there is no problem.

    Can everyone get micropigmentation? In principle, yes, but there are few exceptions. In the first place to undergo this beauty treatment, except for medical problems that have caused hair loss, it is better to wait until an older age in which the hair is weaker and there are hardly any symptoms of growth. Those who suffer from skin conditions (urticaria, psoriasis, warts, keloids, etc.) in the area to be micropigmented, as well as those who suffer from clotting problems, should consider another alternative. It is advisable not to undergo this procedure during pregnancy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy treatments or local infections. For the rest, both men and women can use this technique.
    Is it as painful a procedure as tattoos? Unlike when you tattoo other parts of the body for this procedure, an anaesthetic gel or cream is previously used in the area, which reduces possible discomfort. In addition, the needles do not penetrate the skin as much as they remain in the most superficial layer, thus assuming less aggression.

    How long does an eyebrow tattoo last? It must be made clear that it is not something permanent, depending on the pigments used, the age and skin type of the patient, the duration is 1 to 3 years, and you should also know that the colour will gradually lose intensity with the passing of the months. Therefore, if you are happy with the results and want them to remain perfect for longer, you will have to go to touch them up every so often.
    Do you have any special maintenance? What is the aftercare? Once you have undergone this treatment you will not have to make up your eyebrows again, that is the best part that, except for touch-ups on rare occasions, you will not have to worry about your eyebrows anymore, yes, do not forget to apply sun protection throughout the year, so you will keep your skin in perfect condition and protect the colour.

    What is the difference between this procedure and a tattoo?  The main difference is that the tattoo is really permanent since the pigments are introduced into a deeper layer of the skin which can be a problem since if once the design is done you do not like it, you will not be able to change it, hence this technique has become obsolete.
    Are the results of this technique natural, or will everyone notice that my eyebrows are tattooed? It is precisely its naturalness that makes it one of the main alternatives to permanent tattoos, since the specialist will draw hair by hair or shading (depending on the needs of each client) those sparsely populated areas.  For you to be happy with the results, it is better that you go to a specialised centre with real professionals.
