amiea med is a complete micropigmentat ion system developed specif ical ly for the medical pract ice.

The high-precis ion micropigmentat ion device amiea med revive and extensively tested colors al low for

safe, precise cosmetic and reconstruct ive procedures that help reestabl ish the pat ient’s sense of sel f

after surgery. designed with a clear focus on precis ion, safety, and rel iabi l i ty, the amiea med system

del ivers consistent ly high-qual i ty, last ing results.

“Medical micropigmentat ion is a current standard procedure for

areola reconstruct ion. amiea med has introduced a professional

device for the exper ienced plast ic reconstruct ive surgeon.”

MT.dERM has been developing and manufactur ing

medical devices s ince 1998. The MT.dERM research

and development team cooperates with renowned

inst i tutes, medical professionals, chemists, and

our scient i f ic advisory board to develop products

that meet the most discerning qual i ty and usabi l i ty

demands. like al l MT.dERM products, the amiea med

revive device is manufactured in our IsO 9001 and

IsO 13485 cert i f ied faci l i t ies in Germany.

MT.dERM is involved in the research of intrader-

mal in ject ions. Our project partners include:

The amiea med micropigmentat ion device revive and the colors are based on extensive exper ience

and development efforts in the f ie ld of micropigmentat ion. With a wide range of needle cartr idges

and broad palette of natural- looking colors, the amiea med system del ivers precise, last ing results

in numerous medical micropigmentat ion procedures. amiea med is perfect ly suited for:

The effects of the burn were reversed in a

reduced and camouf laged, and the areola

then restored through micropigmentat ion.

The cosmetic micropigmentat ion procedure

camouf lages scarr ing and recreates the

natural look of a fu l l l ip and l ip l ine. The color

matches the pat ient’s natural skin tone.

Engineered specif ical ly for the modern medical

pract ice, amiea med revive meets the most

discerning standards for surgical instruments.

As part of the amiea med system, the micropig-

mentat ion device excels in a l l three dimensions

of qual i ty: precis ion, safety, and rel iabi l i ty. The

ergonomic design of the hand piece lets you work

smoothly and without exhaust ion, even dur ing

long and complex procedures. Extremely f ine

needle points with adjustable penetrat ion depths

del iver precise results and clean punctures with

a considerably lower puncture trauma. safety

and hygiene are ensured by the device’s patented

cartr idge system, avai lable in a wide range of

needle cartr idges for a l l types of procedures.

The sealed cartr idges prevent l iquids including

bodi ly f lu ids to f low back into the hand piece,

e l iminat ing the r isk of contaminat ion.

Both you and your pat ients wi l l appreciate

the advantages of amiea med revive:

standards IsO 9001 and IsO 13485 and was

issued a 93/42/EEC accreditat ion as medical

product. There is a two-year fu l l warranty on the

AMIEA MEd COlORs – sAFETy As sTANdARd

Perfect ly attuned to the amiea med device and

cartr idge system, amiea med micropigmentat ion

colors are character ized by even f low and last ing

color retent ion. Most important ly, though, amiea

med colors are extremely safe. Our manufacture,

safety and agreeabi l i ty standards surpass not only

the exact ing European Resolut ion ResAP(2008)1,

but a lso even str icter nat ional regulat ions within

Europe. This makes amiea med colors super ior to

many colors st i l l imported today from the

United states and other European countr ies.

amiea med colors are…

… compl iant with ResAP(2008)1

… tested by dermatest® and found “excel lent”

…packaged in hygienic s ingle doses

As a result of these discerning standards,

amiea med colors have signi f icant ly

reduced toxicological , a l lergological ,

and microbiological r isks.

The pigmentat ion colours correspond to the

German Tattoo Product Regulat ions. Medical

registrat ion is in progress.

NATURAl, lAsTING REsUlTs

Color density and retent ion are key to last ing,

natural results. The high pigment concentrat ion

in amiea med colors – achieved through a

special ized manufactur ing process – ensures that

the results of micropigmentat ion are dense and

long last ing. however, amiea med abstains from

using br ight, u l t ra- long-last ing pigments that

may be visual ly attract ive, but do not conform to

our exact ing safety standards. Cancer, accidents,

and potent ia l ly t raumatic procedures take some-

thing from your pat ient. let us help you give

something back – with a broad natural color

palette that offers a wide var iety of tones that

match your pat ient’s color and skin type.
