What is eye micropigmentation?

Eye micropigmentation is a non-invasive medical-aesthetic treatment that deposits pigment along the line right next to the lashes or in the form of eyeliner to visually add density, define the contour of the eye and add depth, with no need for daily makeup.

It is performed with a digital dermograph and sterile single-use needles. Unlike makeup, the pigment does not run, does not smudge with sweat or tears and does not rub off when you rub your eyes. The feeling is of always “looking well,” even when you have just woken up.

At Instituto de Benito the treatment is carried out after a personalized consultation to decide the technique, color and line thickness based on the shape of the eye and your aesthetic goals.

Types of eye micropigmentation

Lash line enhancement (recommended for natural density)

Also called “between-the-lashes” micropigmentation or “lash line enhancement.” The space between the lashes is micropigmented to create the optical effect of a denser, darker lash line. The result does not look like eyeliner: it looks like having more lashes. It is the most subtle and flattering technique, ideal for anyone who wants intensity without the treatment being noticeable.

Entre pestañas (recomendado para densidad natural)

Classic eyeliner

A defined eyeliner line, thin or thick according to preference, with no upward flick. It is the option for anyone who already lines their eyes every day and wants to wake up with their eyes defined without spending time in front of the mirror.

It is done in black or dark brown (the latter is the favorite choice for a natural finish, especially in patients with brown or blonde hair).

Eyeliner clásico

Winged (cat-eye) eyeliner

A variant of classic eyeliner that includes an upward flick at the outer corner of the eye, creating the “cat eye” effect. It visually lifts the eyes, elongates the eye and offsets mild drooping of the upper eyelid without resorting to surgery.

It can also be done on both the upper and lower lash line (the lower line is always more subtle), and in black or brown.

What does eye micropigmentation treatment involve?

The treatment uses a digital dermograph with a very fine needle and safe pigments formulated specifically for the eye area (free from irritating iron oxide). It is completed in two sessions 4–6 weeks apart: the first for design and initial pigmentation, the second as a touch-up.

01

Personalized consultation

Valoración personalizada

Before treatment, a consultation with the specialist analyzes the shape of the eye (almond, round, downturned, monolid), any existing asymmetry, the space between the lashes, your eye health history (contact lenses, blepharitis, chronic conjunctivitis, allergies), your makeup habits and your aesthetic goals. The consultation costs €50.

02

Pigment test and shade selection

The choice between black and brown is made based on hair color, the natural color of the lashes and the desired effect. Brown is the most versatile option for natural finishes; black is the classic choice for a more intense look or bold eyeliner.

03

Preparing for your session

Preparación de la intervención

Come without eye makeup, false lashes or extensions. If you wear contact lenses, bring your glasses: contact lenses cannot be worn during treatment or for the following 3 days. Avoid taking vasodilators 48 hours beforehand.

04

Treatment in the clinic

Tratamiento micropigmentación ojos

The session lasts between 90 and 120 minutes. A topical anesthetic cream is applied to the eyelid, so the procedure is virtually painless. The specialist works with the eye closed and the area protected. The lash line is scrupulously respected to avoid affecting the follicle.

05

Second session and gradual results

At 4–6 weeks, the touch-up session takes place. The color is intensified, the line is adjusted and small asymmetries are corrected. The result lasts between 24 and 36 months, as the eyelid is one of the areas with the lowest cell turnover and the best pigment retention.

Pre- and post-treatment care for eye micropigmentation

Before treatment

  • 48 hours before: avoid vasodilators (alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen).
  • Do not have lash extensions, a lash lift or a lash tint in the 14 days beforehand.
  • Come without eye makeup, extensions or false lashes.
  • If you wear contact lenses, come wearing glasses and bring your lens case.
  • Do not have peels or facial laser treatment in the 7 days beforehand.

Before treatment

After treatment

  • Immediate recovery: you can resume your daily routine the same day.
  • For 24 hours: mild swelling of the eyelid and the pigment looks more intense (this is normal).
  • Days 2–7: small, fine scabs may appear along the lash line. Do not touch or rub them. They fall off on their own.
  • Do not wear contact lenses for 3 days.
  • Do not wear eye makeup for 7 days.
  • Do not get the area wet with salt or chlorinated water (sea, pool, sauna) for 14 days.
  • Do not rub your eyes when washing or drying your face for 7 days.
  • Apply the prescribed healing cream several times a day.

The price of eye micropigmentation

320 €

The price depends on the area treated:

Treatment

  • Eyeliner / lash line enhancement, upper line only €320
  • Eyeliner / lash line enhancement, upper line + lower line €450

Both prices include the initial pigmentation session and the touch-up session at 4–6 weeks. The color (black or brown) and the style (natural lash line enhancement or eyeliner with an upward flick) are decided at the consultation at no extra cost.

If your case requires prior pigment removal of earlier work, that treatment is billed separately (see the micropigmentation removal page).

Risks and possible side effects of eye micropigmentation

Eye micropigmentation is the most delicate of the four cosmetic micropigmentation areas, because of the proximity to the eyeball and the sensitivity of the area. It is performed with certified materials and specific protocols to ensure safety.

What are the absolute contraindications?

  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
  • Active conjunctivitis, blepharitis or any eye infection.
  • Severe dry eye syndrome.
  • Recent eye surgery (LASIK, cataracts, blepharoplasty) without clearance from the ophthalmologist.
  • Uncontrolled glaucoma.
  • Active anticoagulant treatment (to be reviewed with your doctor).
  • Confirmed allergies to the pigment.
  • Cancer treatment without medical clearance.

What are the common side effects (mild and temporary)?

  • Swelling of the eyelid for 24–48 hours (more pronounced than with eyebrows or lips).
  • A “gritty” feeling in the eye for a few hours.
  • Mild watering and sensitivity to light.
  • Fine scabs during healing.

What are the less common side effects?

  • Irritant conjunctivitis from pigment accidentally entering the eye (prevented with strict technique).
  • Pigment migration if the working depth is incorrect (this does not happen in medical centers with trained technique).

The eye area leaves no room for improvisation: it is the area where the difference is most noticeable between a treatment performed by a technician trained in a medical center and work done in an establishment without health oversight.

Frequently asked questions about micropigmentation

How much does eye micropigmentation cost?

€320 if only the upper line is pigmented, or €450 if both lines (upper and lower) are done. Both prices include the initial session and the touch-up at 4–6 weeks.

How many sessions are needed?

Two: the first for initial pigmentation, and a second at 4–6 weeks to set the intensity. A touch-up every 24–36 months maintains the result.

Is it safe to apply pigment so close to the eye?

Yes, when it is performed in a medical center with certified materials and trained technique. We work with pigments formulated specifically for the area and sterile single-use needles.

Is eye micropigmentation painful?

It is virtually painless with topical anesthetic cream. The sensation is one of tingling or mild pressure.

How long do the results last?

Between 24 and 36 months, longer than with eyebrows or lips, because of the eyelid's low cell regeneration.

Is lash line enhancement the same as eyeliner?

No. Lash line enhancement pigments the space between the follicles to visually add density; eyeliner draws a line above the lashes, like a stroke of makeup.

Can I keep wearing contact lenses?

Yes, but not for the 3 days after each session.

What if I have lash extensions?

They must be removed 14 days before treatment and not reapplied until 14 days afterwards.

What about after a blepharoplasty?

Micropigmentation is performed 3–6 months after surgery and with clearance from the surgeon.

Can it be combined with facial treatments?

Yes, but allowing 14 days without peels, laser or microneedling in the eye area.

Is it reversible?

Yes. If you are not happy with the result or wish to have it removed, pigment removal treatment is carried out.
