Is there a difference between micropigmentation and microblading?

Yes, there are differences. With the microblading technique, a series of superficial incisions are made using a scalpel, which are then impregnated with the pigment. In the case of micropigmentation, the treatment is carried out using a dermograph and a small needle, which allow a more precise, natural and painless result to be achieved. The micropigmentation treatment is carried out at a greater level of depth than microblading and, therefore, the result lasts longer.

Which color will the specialist use?

The professional performs a study prior to the treatment where he determines, together with the patient, which is the ideal color for each area.

On the other hand, in the case of lips or eyeliner, the patient will be able to choose the most suitable shade according to his taste.
