Medical micropigmentation frequently provides the finishing touches to a surgical procedure. LeMor MPI is your partner in helping your patients' look and feel better. Restoring your patient's natural skin tone/color after cosmetic or reconstructive surgery is our area of expertise. We specialize in paramedical camouflaging procedures (e.g. nipple areola tattooing) and our work in this area is world renown. On this page we will discuss issues surrounding medical micropigmentation and why LeMor MPI is uniquely qualified to perform these procedures.

Using micropigmentation techniques to camouflage skin tone imperfections is an advance skill acquired only through professional training, guidance and significant experience. Specialty procedures necessitate that the Specialist develop an especially keen aptitude for color, anticipate how colors heal in the skin, what the resulting color will be, and how the color will fade over time. Specialists’ must be able to analyze the skin’s texture taking into account any elevation or depression that will effect how the color is perceived. Raised and depressed areas may cast minute shadows on the skin making it appear darker. The ability to evaluate the skin’s health, elasticity, thickness, opaqueness or translucency will determine the methodology used to micropigment the area. It is important to understand the anatomical and physiological differences of skin of different races and how these differences effect the way coloring agents heal in the skin. Specialists’
must have an in-depth understanding of how the tissue responds to injury, and how certain chemicals, products and environmental factors effect the skin’s healing process and pigment retention. It is important to note that placing pigment into scar tissue is very different from normal tissue because scar tissue accepts and retains color differently than normal tissue.

Therefore, doctors seeking this procedure for their patients should only consider specialists with significant experience performing paramedical camouflage procedures. Yolanda Moore, with over 16 years of hands-on micropigmentation experience, has performed well over 500 paramedical camouflage procedures and has lectured and trained other practitioners on the procedures.

Most importantly, a Specialist must have matured enough in the field to effectively handle the emotional issues facing severely discolored and disfigured clients whose ultimate desire is to return to a state resembling normalcy.
