Medical Tatooing

The principle of dermopigmentation is simple. It involves introducing a pigment into the dermis using an electrical device called a “dermograph”. Specially designed for this purpose, the device is fitted with a stylet (handpiece) mounted on a sterile, single-use needle made of surgical steel.

The introduction of the pigment will modify the color of a defined area of skin, either for repair or purely aesthetic purposes.

Restorative (or medical) dermopigmentation encompasses medical procedures carried out to correct and reconstruct certain areas of the body following trauma, accidents or surgery (such as post-breast cancer mastectomy), as well as for the treatment of scars. The practice of medical dermopigmentation is reserved for doctors and nurses, acting under medical prescription (if the purpose is claimed to be medical). It is recognized as a beneficial therapeutic intervention.

It is also possible to undergo pigmentation for aesthetic purposes within the framework of permanent make-up.

This technique is applied to various parts of the face and body and can be likened to tattooing, although it is not permanent. It is mainly used to improve appearance, by enhancing lips, accentuating eyes, filling out eyebrows or creating freckles, for example. It can also be used to correct perceived imperfections, such as asymmetries, areas with little hair or unsuitable contours.
