What is dermopigmentation?
Dermopigmentation is used to enhance and beautify the most important traits of the face and body. It is applied using fine lines whose purpose is to give an exquisite subtle effect without exaggerating and emphasizing the good taste and presence of correct make up.

Other Benefits
Dermopigmentation is applied to those that suffer visual impediments, allergies to conventional make up, alopecia, arthritis, Parkinson disease, and the lost of eyebrows and eyelashes as a result of chemotherapy or other causes. It is also applied in the medical field in the re-pigmentation of the nipple and areola and in the camouflage of scars and burns.
