Cinnamon is a shade with character within the Kerato World color chart. Drawing inspiration from the warm tones of the earth and spices, this color offers a precious alternative for patients who do not identify with cool palettes (blues, greys). Cinnamon is not a simple brown; it is an amber and copper-toned shade that transforms the iris into a prism of warm light.

Thanks to the FAKtP (Femtosecond Assisted Kerato-pigmentation) protocol, the insertion of this pigment results in a deep gaze, evoking intense hazel irises or autumn reflections, with a brilliance and clarity rarely found in nature.

The aesthetics of Cinnamon

The strength of Cinnamon lies in its ability to instantly warm up facial expressions. It is a color that “vibrates” when it comes into contact with light.

A coppery and magnetic result

Cinnamon is distinguished by its orange and reddish-brown undertones. Unlike Honey, which tends toward golden yellow, Cinnamon provides a deeper and spicier dimension. On a dark iris base, it creates a magnificent contrast that illuminates the eyes without altering their deep identity. The result is a highly distinguished “burnt amber” look.

The “soft focus” effect

One of the aesthetic particularities of copper tones is their ability to soften features. Where a polar blue might harden a face, Cinnamon brings a soothing harmony. It is particularly recommended for patients who want a color change that looks “infused” with light, rather than a color simply placed on the eye.

Stability and biocompatibility

The Cinnamon pigment is a certified medical device, guaranteeing safe integration into corneal tissue.

  1. Reinforced photostability: “Sienna” or “copper” type pigments are traditionally complex to stabilize against UV rays. The formulation used ensures exceptional color retention over time, with no risk of fading.
  2. Mineral purity: The pigment is designed to be perfectly inert. It does not provoke defensive reactions from the eye and remains precisely where the surgeon placed it, within the corneal tunnel created by the laser.

The precision of the Femtosecond Laser 

The rendering of Cinnamon depends on how light travels through the cornea before striking the pigment. The Femtosecond Laser allows for an incision of absolute regularity. This step is crucial for Cinnamon, as the slightest irregularity in corneal thickness could alter the perception of copper highlights. Dr. Hojabr’s technological mastery ensures a homogeneous diffusion of the color across 360°.

Cinnamon is the ideal color for patients seeking a natural yet remarkable transition.

Harmonization with the phototype
  • Matte, dark, and mixed-race skin: This is arguably the most “natural” color for these skin types. It brightens the gaze while remaining within a color palette that is entirely credible from a genetic standpoint.
  • Dark, red, or auburn hair: Cinnamon creates a color echo with the hair, reinforcing the overall harmony of the face.
  • Initially very dark eyes: On a black or very dark brown iris, Cinnamon offers total covering power, transforming the initial opacity into a luminous amber transparency.
A solution for “tired” eyes

By introducing warm pigments to the center of the face, Cinnamon tends to neutralize bluish dark circles through the contrast of complementary colors. The gaze appears more vivid and rested.

Before the procedure, a HD simulation is performed. For Cinnamon, we test several densities: do you prefer a light copper that allows your original iris to show through, or an intense, saturated Cinnamon? Dr. Hojabr helps you choose the shade that best matches your personality and lifestyle.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia via eye drops. After the Femtosecond Laser step, the pigment is inserted. Recovery is immediate: from the moment you leave the clinic, the warmth of Cinnamon is present. The color will gain even more finesse and natural “blending” during the three months following the operation, once the micro-tissues have stabilized around the pigment.

Is Cinnamon too close to natural brown?

No. It is much clearer and more luminous than a classic brown. It is a pigment designed to brighten the gaze toward amber and copper tones rarely found in nature in such a pure form.

Can the color look red?

Dr. Hojabr’s formulation contains neutralizing agents to ensure that the color remains in the warm honey and cinnamon tones, without ever shifting toward an artificial red.

Cinnamon is a choice that combines passion and gentleness. At Kerato World, we see this color as a celebration of warm light. It is a guarantee of a metamorphosed look that retains all its humanity and naturalness.
