Scalp micropigmentation should never be considered a one treatment process. Each session builds up layers of pigment until it's finished on the final session. Most clients can expect between 2-4 sessions to complete their treatment depending on the extent of hair loss or scarring. These treatments are usually spaced about 1-3 weeks apart.

Scalp Micropigmentation is a form of permanent cosmetics or permanent makeup. Results typically last 3 to 5 years, but depending on sun exposure ( you can add longevity by applying sun block ), your lifestyle and immune system it can last longer. We would usually discuss the options before the treatment.

Scalp micropigmentation requires no down time. In most cases, you will not need to take any time away from work ( unless your work requires head gear or causes heavy sweating ) school, or other functions. After treatment it is common to notice slight redness on the scalp for 2-3 days post session.

If you are unsure of what style or type of hairline will work for you, your treatment specialist will be there to help. With artistic experience on how to fit a hairline to head shape and age, your specialist can help recommend what's best. Over the course of your sessions you can also tweak and adjust the hairline for a perfect result.

Scalp Micropigmentation is a form of semi permanent cosmetics or semi permanent makeup. Often referred to as a cosmetic hair or scalp tattoo, this treatment typically lasts 3-5 years. After that time, a client may experience some fading, to which they can come back in for a quick touch up which is just 1 session. This cosmetic solution will not wash off but can be tweaked as years go on.

No. Scalp micropigmentation is a form of semi-permanent cosmetics, but unlike tattoo ink the pigment contains no additional colourants or additives and will only lighten, not discolour over an extended time. Scalp micropigmentation also utilizes different equipment than traditional tattooing, ensuring the needle and machine are designed specifically for micropigmentation of the scalp.

Depending upon the pattern and extent of the thinning hair, some clients are able to maintain a longer length of hair. Scalp pigmentation can help thicken areas so that less of the scalp is seen showing through. However, if there is a strong pattern of hair loss or just not a lot of hair density left, the client is recommended to crop it shorter.

Yes, those with grey hair can still benefit from the scalp micropigmentation procedure. First, most clients are recommended to cut their hair to a short buzzed length. When this is done, grey hair does not appear as grey because the hair root itself is darker. Hair only shows grey as it gets longer. Second, we use a grey-scale pigment that can be adjusted in shade to blend with lighter hair tones. We simply create a lighter dilution for blending into the existing grey hairs.

Yes! By replicating tiny hair follicles inside the scarring and blending the colour around the scarring area, transplant and surgical scars can see massive improvement in concealment.

Yes! We are able to match the shade of our pigment to a wide range of skin tones. Whether you are White, Black, Mediterranean, Asian, and much more...scalp micropigmentation will work for you.

We recommend no heavy sweating or intense exercise for 4-5 days after your scalp micropigmentation treatment.

For most clients, the pain is minimal and it's vastly less painful than traditional tattoos. After your session, you won't experience any further discomfort. During the procedure some areas of the scalp may be more sensitive than others. For instance, it may feel more sensitive around the hairline and temple area as opposed to the crown area. Most of our clients state that the treatment is completely bearable compared to the pain from a traditional tattoo.

Scalp Micropigmentation is used to add density to thinning areas. We are able to add thickness to areas common areas like the crown, hair parting and more. For people that are using scalp micropigmentation to rebuild their hairline, we recommend keeping your hair short for a more balanced look.

We recommend no scrubbing, shampooing, or shaving over the treated area for 4-5 days after your scalp micropigmentation treatment.

We recommend you try to avoid chlorinated pools, saunas, steam rooms, and tanning beds for 28 days post final scalp micropigmentation session.

The answer is no. Although SMP is also known as a hair tattoo, it is completely different to the traditional tattoo. Completely different equipment is used, needles and techniques and the pigments used for SMP do not change colour. There are three main differences between Scalp Micropigmentation and Tattooing:

1. Pigment is deposited into the skin at a shallower depth than tattoos.

2. Small micro dots is strictly made through pointillism method, not shading or drawing lines.

3. Black pigment is only used which is much more diluted than typical tattoo inks. For this reason, it won't break down to different colours or look too saturated once it heals.

No, the scalp micropigmentation treatment will not grow your hair back. However, the SMP treatment will give you the look of short hair or a tight buzz-cut. We recommend keeping your hair at a shorter length to create the most natural outcome.

After the first scalp micropigmentation session, your treatment will fade which is completely normal. In the second and third sessions, we add more density to create a fuller look. Pigment retention varies for each person and some may notice more fading than others.

Redness It all depends as the human body is unique to each individual. The redness may subside on the same day with certain clients (Usually brown and darker skin), and some clients may experience redness for a few days.

No because only areas with hair loss is focused on so there is nothing to damage in the first place. Additionally, the treatment has been known to stimulate hair growth in some cases. If you do have some hairline left then we recommend working within your existing hairline.

The perfect colour can never be guessed for each individual hence the layering process. The first treatment is done slightly lighter to see how the pigment settles in the scalp. When you return for your second session, the colour is assessed to see if it has held and matches or if we need to go darker.

It depends on the working area from 1 hour for a minimum area and up to 4 hours for a large area. Clients are usually advised to book a free day off their schedule to avoid rushing.

Yes, Scalp Micropigmentation does look natural with the appearance of a shaved head. We use specialised pigments that are designed to replicate the look of your natural hair follicles. The idea is to match the pigment with your existing hair and skin tone whilst taking into account your desired look.

The main objective in the aftercare of SMP is to slow down fading as much as possible. The steps mentioned in this article help a lot with the fading, but it should be noted that fading is a natural process and it cannot be stopped. It can only be slowed down.

Following are both short-term, as well as long-term Aftercare guideline:

Aftercare

Day1 – Day 4: Do not touch, rub or disturb your scalp in any way.

Do not wash your scalp. No matter how much you want to.

Avoid going out in the sun. UV rays can be harmful and certainly can promote fading.

Avoid sweating. Do not go to gyms or do any kind of workout that can cause profuse sweating.

Day 5 – Day 7:On day 5, you can wash your head with warm water and shampoo. Start moisturising your head to prevent dryness. Non- perfumed moisturiser is recommended. Moisturise twice a day; morning and night. You can wear hats and beanies to cover your head. You can use an electric shaver to shave your head. Avoid wet shaving with razor blades for 10 days after treatment.

Long-term aftercare: For 30 days, avoid chlorinated pools, saltwater, saunas, and steam rooms. UV rays (sunlight) is not recomended for the treated area. Therefore, make sure to apply sunscreen before going out. Use sunscreen with at least SPF 50+. For 30 days avoid getting a tan on the treated area. Wash your scalp with fragrance-free, antibacterial soap for the first 30 days to keep it clean. Use an exfoliating cleanser as often as possible as it removes dead cells and keeps your head looking fresh. Avoid products that use a high amount of alcohol. Creams and lotions that use a little alcohol are fine.

It is recommended to have a touch up 6-8 weeks after your initial appointment. Each client's skin is different and retains different amounts of pigment. It is not possible to predict how colour will change during the healing process and therefore permanent makeup procedure is always considered to consist of 2 treatments: an initial treatment and a touch up (correction). Occasionally, 2-3 touch ups may be needed to achieve perfect results but this is not common. Permanent makeup procedure is not considered completed unless touch up has been performed.

Permanent eyebrow makeup is a solution for any problem with hair growth in the eyebrow area, including alopecia. In some people, the hairs do not grow evenly, forming unaesthetic "empty" zones. The same problems occur after traumatic situations when the eyebrow was cut along the hairline. In some cases, the hairs are not thick enough and this defect requires daily tinting. It happens that the shade of the hairs is so light that the eyebrows on the face are practically invisible. But the right eyebrows are 80% of the beauty and attractiveness of the face.

Among other things, the fashion for eyebrows is very changeable. If a girl, under the influence of fashion trends, once long ago plucked her eyebrows to the shape of a thin thread, or even regularly shaves them off to draw an eyebrow line with a pencil, and now regrets doing it, but she cannot grow the desired shape of eyebrows, tattooing will be the ideal solution.

All these problems can be solved by a skilled permanent make-up artist in a couple of hours: a harmonious eyebrow shape is created, the desired thickness is created, a pigment shade close to natural is selected. And that's it - the problem is gone! Taking into account the wishes of the client, the technology of applying the pigment is selected - from powdery technique to 3D. The choice of options is simply huge!

1. Use high SPF sunscreens. After all, pigments fade in the sun.

2. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight - sunglasses and hats are our best friends

3. Avoid peeling / scrubbing in the area of application of your permanent (eyebrows / lips ) - especially with aggressive ingredients.

4. If you need to tint the eyebrow hairs, try to apply the paint only on them, getting on the skin the paint negatively affects the pigment.

A properly executed eyebrow tattoo cannot damage the hair follicles. The pigment is injected into the upper layer of the skin, and the hairs grow much deeper, so nothing threatens their health and nutrition. On the contrary, with the help of permanent tattooing, clients finally grow back their previously plucked or shaved hair.

Every person has a different pain threshold, and individual pain threshold can also vary depending on various factors. For example, ladies are usually more sensitive to pain just before and during their monthly cycle. During the procedure topical anaesthetics can be applied to the treatment area to numb it, and many people find the procedure pain free and relaxing, while others find it no more painful than having your eyebrows plucked or waxed.

The healing process lasts between 5 to 14 days, lips are usually the quickest to heal. Final results of permanent makeup procedure can be seen however after 4-6 weeks only as skin will undergo through various healing phases during this time. Healing process will go smoothly if correct aftercare is followed.

Both tattoo and permanent makeup use special machines that place pigment into the skin with a help of needles. The permanent makeup is deposited right below the epidermis, the first layer of the skin. Whereas the tattoo is deposited deeper in the subcutaneous level. Tattoo ink is inserted deeper into the skin, and body tattoos are a lot more saturated, which make them stay in the skin for a lifetime.

Cold sores is only a typical reaction in permanent makeup of the lips if the client is susceptible to them. If you are susceptible to getting cold sores it is advised to get prescription from your GP for an appropriate medication to use a few days before and around one week after the permanent makeup treatment. This will minimize the risk of getting an outbreak by around 50%. Please note that if you have an active herpes outbreak, you must wait for it to fully heal before having permanent makeup treatment on lips.
