If you suffer from alopecia, visible scars, breast reconstruction, de-pigmentation, hair loss or have to take chemotherapy, you can turn to dermapigmentaiton.

Our beauty editor, Tracey, recently tried out Micropigmentation. Here’s her permanent make-up experience:
“I went to the Pro Beauty Expo, where I was lucky enough to get my eyebrows ‘tattooed’ by Nadine Minns at Nouveau Contour. Nervous? Yes. There’s something about the thought of a needle penetrating your skin that doesn’t seem that appealing. Luckily a topical anaesthetic was applied 15 minutes beforehand. All I really felt was a vibration and the tiniest bit of pain where I had a few nerve endings (on the brow bone). It took about an hour and a half for both brows, but the end result was so worth it.”
