Uso da micropigmentação como método de camuflagem para cicatriz de estrias

Striae are linear cutaneous atrophies derived from a cicatricial process, they are formed when the tissue tension causes a lesion of the dermal connective, causing a tear of the meshes, generating the loss of elasticity and compression causing an injury. Micropigmentation, or also known as dermopigmentation, dermography, dermatography, or tattooing is a technique that consists of a minimally invasive procedure, used to implant pigment in the subepidermal layer, to correct small abnormalities or for aesthetic purposes. The objective of this case study was to verify the efficacy of the camouflage of scars by micropigmentation. After application of the micropigmentation session, it was verified an improvement in the appearance of the striae in the volunteer who followed the guidelines correctly.Key-words: striae, tattoing, esthetics equipment.
