One in four women will be diagnosed with cancer in her lifetime. During the development of this disease, the patient’s body undergoes a series of physical changes that will affect her state of mind. The prestigious expert in micropigmentation Maribel Franco, Director of the Institute of Micropigmentation and Personal Image and member of Top Doctors, explains the techniques to recover the patient’s usual image and contribute to her emotional wellbeing.
Alopecia, changes in skin tone, scars or weight loss are some of the signs that the body of a cancer patient suffers. Throughout the course of the disease, some patients have the need to feel good when they look in the mirror, so the professional Maribel Franco recognizes that “being able to recognize oneself, despite the loss of eyelashes and eyebrows, brings a series of very positive emotional benefits in the process of overcoming the disease”. In addition to hair loss, the loss of hair in the eyebrows is perhaps the physical detail that is most noticeable at first sight, since the gaze loses its natural strength.
The micropigmentation technique means that women do not have to be concerned every day about their physical appearance and are more concerned about other aspects of having cancer. Before this method is carried out, the eyebrows, eyelashes or lips design that best suits the facial harmony of the patient is performed. Maribel Franco, a specialist in facial beauty recovery, explains what this technique consists of: “It is about filling in between the eyelashes, which causes an optical effect of much more volume”. It is advisable to perform this process before chemotherapy so that the change of image is not so abrupt. In the case of women who have undergone mastectomy, micropigmentation is useful to recover the drawing of the halo imitating nature. Before starting the procedure, topical anesthesia is applied so that the person does not find it painful.
