THE BENEFITS OF MICROART TATTOO CAMOUFLAGE

  • Natural look – MicroArt will return a natural look to you’re the affected area without painful tattoo removal.
  • Feel great – Camouflaging your embarrassing tattoo will make you look and feel great.
  • No painful laser surgery – MicroArt™ gives you the option to camouflage your tattoo, rather than enduring expensive painful laser surgery tattoo removal.

LIMITATIONS OF LASER TATTOO REMOVAL

Frosting

When you are undergoing the laser tattoo removal treatment, your skin will naturally turn to frosty white color. The frosting is as a result of the carbon dioxide that is being released as the laser penetrates the upper layer of the skin surface. Nonetheless, the frost subsides after twenty minutes.

Blistering

As the laser heat picks up ink particles from the skin, it causes blood vessels to break around the tattoo. As a result, blisters containing water and ink may appear. The blisters usually take around 3 to 14 days to heal up completely as long as you don’t burst them.

Hyperpigmentation

The laser tattoo removal treatment uses pulses of different wavelengths to remove the tattoo ink. However, these wavelengths can affect your melanin causing patches of darkened skin. Hyperpigmentation is a condition that is typically seen in people with darker skin and active tans.

Hypopigmentation

Hypopigmentation refers to the removal of your skin’s pigmentation. Once this has been done, lighter patches will be visible where the tattoo was. It takes months or even years before the skin turns normal again. However, hypopigmentation can be more tolerable than the original tattoo.

Infection

You are very much susceptible to bacterial infections if you burst your blister or pick at scabs after the laser tattoo removal treatment. In the event of an infection, you should consult either your doctor or the laser technician. However, all these can be avoided if you prevent blistering and scabbing.

Swelling

Swelling can also happen after undergoing a laser tattoo removal treatment. It is usually catalyzed by the heat from the laser.

Since laser tattoo removal treatment has some limitations, Micro Art was introduced as an alternative. Micro Art covers the unwanted tattoos with a custom blended skin pigment. In addition, Micro Art utilizes the nontoxic and mineral based equipment for the procedure. The tattoo is removed in a very simple and painless way. The equipment is gently vibrated into the dermal layer using a single acupuncture needle. After which, it is applied in thin layers until the color and shape needed to cover the tattoo is achieved. The application only takes a few hours and the colors are customized for each client.

 SEND PHOTOS FOR THE PRICE

Prices are based on treatment procedure time. Our work is customized to each client’s needs based on skin size, location, and the colors we are matching. Each client starts with a minimum of 4 monthly treatments. Prices start at $3,000 for a series of four one-hour treatments. In a one-hour session, we can camouflage up to 9 square inches (3″ x 3″) of skin.

We require photos to estimate how many hours of treatment you will require.  Please upload photos of each area. Photos must be well-lit, in focus, and without any makeup. You will receive your estimate within 1 business day.

Permanent makeup is applied using heavy gauge needles or a blade to penetrate deep into the skin causing bleeding, bruising, scabbing, scarring, and downtime.  Permanent makeup uses various forms of tattoo inks that are toxic to the body; its colors are harsh and change over time. So people can end up with blue or orange inks in the skin.  Another issue with permanent makeup is that as our skin ages and starts to sag the ink ends up in the wrong place so it actually accentuates the signs of aging.

Permanent makeup artists’ training is only a few days. Their minimal training and the equipment & products used all contribute to the harsh look associated with permanent makeup and microblading.  The best way to fix it with MicroArt.

MicroArt Semi Permanent makeup, on the other hand, has the most natural results. There is NO downtime, NO bruising, NO scabbing, NO scarring.  Because MicroArt technology uses an acupuncture needle as thin as a human hair that vibrates on the dermal layer of the skin 80 to 100 times per second, the results are precise. Colors are custom blended with non-toxic mineral-based pigments. The design is customized to fit each patient’s looks and desires by our Artist. It takes about 1 year to train a Micro-Artist to perform the procedure. The results are amazing.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT MICROART TATTOO CAMOUFLAGE

Yes!

This procedure is performed in a series of sessions. Usually, a minimum of 4 sessions are needed. We request photos of the tattoo before scheduling your appointments so we can estimate the scope of treatment.

We have found the best outcome is for our clients to try laser tattoo removal first, before starting MicroArt. In this way, much of the unwanted tattoo is removed and we only have to cover parts of it or by using less MicroArt.

MicroArt Semi Permanent Makeup uses a single acupuncture needle that gently vibrates on the dermal layers of the skin depositing a custom blended mineral-based pigment into the skin to cover tattoo ink.

The procedure is performed in a series of sessions (4-session minimum). Your appointments are scheduled 3 weeks apart to allow time for the pigment to settle into the skin. Each time you come in, the color will be re-evaluated and the procedure fine tuned.

Your skin will have modest swelling right after the procedure but this varies from person to person. In most clients, next-day swelling is little to none and will be completely over in a few days but you may have some redness for up to 10 days. The color of the applied MicroArt will be stronger for the first week or two.

Yes.

Everyone’s level of sensitivity is different, and varies greatly depending on the area of the body. Some clients feel nothing but light vibration while others experience modest discomfort. A topical numbing cream is always applied in advance. Lidocaine injections can be scheduled in advance (at an added cost) with our nurse, which will block 90% to 100% of sensation during the treatment. We will consult with you on this topic prior to your appointment.

Maintenance appointments are optional. Unless you maintain MicroArt, it will completely fade away over 3 years or more. If you want to keep your tattoo well camouflaged, plan on a Maintenance Touch-up once every year or two however this varies depending on the tattoo, your skin type, age, sun exposure and other factors.

YES!

MicroArt has been used to camouflage tattoos and other skin discolorations for over 8 years with amazing results on all clients. There are no know side effects and it is 100% safe for all skin types.

The goal is to match the color, over the course of your treatments, so that no one can see your tattoo.

Color matching is achieved through the series of sessions during which the color is evaluated and your custom color mix is fine-tuned. About two weeks after each procedure, the skin exfoliates and the color settles in so we re-evaluate and adjust in a subsequent session as needed.

The Color: Your certified MicroArt technician will evaluate your skin color at the beginning of each session and choose a color, or custom blend a color, to match your skin tone.

Pigmentation: MicroArt Semi Permanent Makeup uses a single acupuncture needle that gently vibrates on the dermal layers of the skin depositing a mineral-based pigment into the skin. We blend the pigment into the skin during each session until the tattoo is completely camouflaged and the skin tone matches.

We do not recommend this as lasers can lighten the pigment that we apply.  MicroArt is your final solution and you will not need any other treatment after as we can fully camouflage the desired area rendering lasers unnecessary. If you are in the middle of a laser treatment, we recommend starting MicroArt four or more weeks after your laser treatment is completed — using MicroArt to finish camouflaging the area.

Right after your procedure, the applied MicroArt color will appear stronger compared with how it is intended to look long term. After a few days, the skin will slightly exfoliate and the color will become lighter. It is important to keep the treated area clean and moisturized by using only MicroArt after-care products – which we provide to you at no additional cost.

Do not wear makeup on the treated area of skin for 7 days after each MicroArt session.

Lidocane injections can be provided — if scheduled in advanced. They are administered by a  registered nurse or doctor who we schedule to come in during your procedure. There is an additional cost for injections. Please call to get current pricing.

Lidocane injections are required when we work on hands, as they are the most sensitive area of the body. In addition, they are recommended for procedures taking more than 3 hours at a time.

When your skin tans, the mineral-based pigment applied into the skin will not change color nor tan with the surrounding skin.

We advise our clients to maintain a constant skin color throughout the year so that their MicroArt makeup will maintain the best color match for as long as possible.

However, some clients will schedule a maintenance appointment around the time that they get a tan in early summer so that we can match their MicroArt to that tanned skin color. As the tan lightens up a bit during the winter, MicroArt will gradually fade a little so that it will also lighten up.  

No, salt water does not affect the results or how long it last. It will not change or fade the color of your MicroArt pigments.

No, chlorine does not affect the results.

The price starts at $2,500 and goes up depending on what we are covering. please send photos of your tattoo to info@microartmakeup.com to get specific pricing 

$2,500 price includes:

  • Custom colors. MicroArt colors are custom blended to match your natural skin color.
