All about micropigmentation AN EVOLUTION FOR TODAY S WOMAN! BEFore After Micropigmentation subtly changes a person s look. It balances out unevenness and corrects asymmetry of a face. Because nobody is perfect! Every face has a weak point. Whether it s uneven eyebrows, unequally sized eyes or lips with a distorted contour. This is where micropigmentation offers the most natural solution with absolutely stunning results. Eyebrows build the main frame around the face. Minor irregularities can create an inharmonious look, especially if the eyebrows resemble each other. With just a few correctly placed hairstrokes, micropigmentation can create a natural, harmonious and symmetric look, without drastically changing a person s appearance. Is micropigmentation the same as permanent make-up? Micropigmentation and permanent make-up are based on the same technology of inserting color pigments into the skin. It is long-lasting, but we prefer not to call it makeup. Make-up is still the individual daily choice of every woman. For example, wearing glamorous make-up for the evening, or going for a fresh and natural look during the day. Micropigmentation simply builds the foundation for looking perfect without looking made-up. Let s work together and spread the word. Micropigmentation: save time and look perfect 24 hours! Times change Miriam wanted her eyebrows to be more even and impressive and her eyes more defined. Miriam liked the hairstrokes with a 1-micro, underlining the highest point A well-defined upper lip-line is a marker of youth! Just Miriam s eyebrows were given definition by creating "In the past, I had to convince many of my customers to try out the magic of natural shape of her lips a lot, but their color was quite pale. Her of the bow. Color: "Cognac". Her eyes appear very clear adding pigments into the lip contour can take years off micropigmentation. Today, they visit me wish was to get a fresh and natural lip shade. and open now, after a lashline enhancement with a a person s face.

Your Technique - our technology hand in hand for perfect results More color Less trauma: Power We handle the skin with care! 1 Conventional systems for micropigmentation cause the + "umbrella effect": because of lower needle speed and weaker 1 Epidermis Dermis 2 Epidermis Dermis 2 needle penetration strength, the skin is pushed away and even torn. The skin s surface interlocks with the needle with every movement. This leads to more trauma to the skin and more discharge of wound liquids. In turn, this results in The Click-in System 3 pigments being washed out of the skin. amiea s system minimizes epidermal trauma, due to powerful skin penetration and high needle speed. The quick and strong entry of needles prevents the needles from catching on the Epidermis skin. Color retention is higher, the number of retouches is minimized and healing time is reduced. 3 Dermis "CLICK" More color Less trauma: textured needles needle surface Optimization Conventional needles (shown on the left) have a very smooth and even surface. This leads to pigment loss while applying color into the skin: Pigment can barely adhere to the needle s smooth surface and thus does not reach the dermis. Color is lost at the surface of the epidermis. With amiea's special needles (shown on the right), you are able to apply more color into the dermis. The surface of amiea needles is textured and slightly rough. This gives the pigment 10 grip to adhere to the needle s surface. 11
More color Less trauma: safety Membrane More color Less trauma: Precision and digital control our patended invention: the safety membrane In addition to the highest precision and low epidermal trauma, amiea s needle cartridges stand out with another innovative feature: The integrated safety membrane. This safety mechanism prevents any back-flow of color and any circulation of contaminated liquids. To protect yourself and your customer. Digital needle puncture with digitally controlled systems analogue conventional needle control Clean, absolutely precise punctures with amiea s micropigmentation system A microscopic image of punctures made with amiea s system compare to those made with conventional micropigmentation devices clearly shows: Conventional, analogue systems create irregular and uneven skin penetration. This leads to less color uptake, lower retention of pigment and involves a risk of color change. With amiea s system, needle punctures are digitally controlled and more precise. The skin takes up color pigments better, more readily with less trauma. The number of retouches is significantly reduced. First results are sufficient frayed, irregular and uneven punctures with 12 in many cases. 13 conventional systems No more handling of bare, possibly Contaminated needles The needle retracts automatically into the cartridge when the cartridge is detached from the handpiece.

It comes with the widest selection of single-use needle cartridges. The SensiDrive function! trust sense as we do: five-year-warranty for our state of the art device! is patented in Europe: EP 1743673 WHAT EXACTLY IS SENSIDRIVE TECHNOLOGY? The sensor measures the resistance of the skin's surface best results at the first pass during the entry of the needles into the skin.

Pigment is therefore placed unevenely due to different conditions of skin surface and resistance. Pigments, which are not in the right depth, are washed out of the skin. More retouches are thus required. The innovative SensiDrive adjusts the power depending on the surface/ resistance of the treated area. Pigment is placed exactly at the right depth, which reduces the number of retouches. + measurement of skin resistance + widest selection of amiea needle cartridges + amiea s most powerful handpiece + 5-year-warranty The illustrations shown on this page are schematic.

expert's Advice Discolorations of the color after micropigmentation are caused by reactions of the immune system. Retouches from time to time are necessary to correct slight changes in the color tone. However, colors should never turn pink, orange or green. These drastic discolorations are caused by lower quality colors and/or incorrect application (e.g. too deep or too superficial entry of color pigments into the skin). There is no perfect color in the world of micropigmentation, because we never know how the immune system will react to treatment. amiea's derma safe colors are close to perfect. The number of retouches is reduced to a minimum. I save time and my clients are happy. amiea colors are produced in-house and subject to DERMATEST. 62 63
