If you work in the field of permanent makeup or tattooing, you will know that the dermograph is an essential tool for your work. But with so many options available on the market, how do you choose the right one? Here is a step-by-step guide that will help you make the best choice.

1. Type of Dermograph

Let's start with the fundamental: the type of dermograph. Generally, there are two main categories: rotary dermographs and coil dermographs. The former are known for being quieter and offering greater control during application, while the latter are often more powerful but can be noisier. The choice between the two will depend on the type of work you intend to do and your personal preferences. Rotary dermographs are suitable for permanent make-up and tattooing, while coil ones are exclusively for tattooing as they are too aggressive for facial skin.

2. Brand and Quality

Not all dermographers are created equal. It is important to opt for a brand with a solid reputation in the field. Often, quality goes hand in hand with price, but it's an investment that will pay off in the long run.

3. Versatility

Some dermographs are extremely versatile and allow you to easily change between different types of needles and colors. If your practice requires a variety of techniques, a versatile model may be the right choice for you.

4. Ease of Use

Especially if you are a beginner, it is essential that the dermograph is easy to use. Pay attention to details such as the handle, weight and user interface.

5. Reviews and Opinions

Before making a decision, it's always a good idea to read online reviews and talk to colleagues or mentors who have experience in the field. This will give you a more complete picture of the performance of the dermograph you are considering.

6. Budget

Dermograph prices can vary greatly. You can find budget models as well as high-end options. Set a budget and try to stick to it, but without sacrificing quality.

7. Warranty and Assistance

Another factor to consider is the availability of a warranty and the ease of obtaining replacement parts or service. Good customer service can make a big difference in the long term.

8. Training and Certification

Last, but not least, make sure you are properly trained to use your chosen dermograph. Many manufacturers offer training courses and certifications that can be extremely helpful.

10. Accessories Included

Finally, check which accessories come with the dermograph. Cables, extra batteries (if you opted for wireless) and other components can add value to your purchase and save you time and money in the future.

In conclusion, choosing the right dermograph is an important decision that requires attention and research. Keep these key factors in mind as you navigate your options and you'll be on your way to finding the dermograph that's right for you.
