FAQ

Scalp Micro-Pigmentation is a non-invasive treatment that uses detailed micro-needles to deposit pigment into the scalp. The result creates the appearance of tiny hair follicles or short hair stubble. If you are starting to thin, recede, or if you are completely bald, we can give you the look of a short buzz cut.

Scalp Micro-Pigmentation is a form of permanent cosmetics or permanent makeup. Often referred to as a cosmetic hair or scalp tattoo, this treatment typically lasts 3-5 years.

Scalp Micro-Pigmentation should never be considered a one treatment process. Most clients can expect between 3 - 5 sessions to complete their treatment depending on the extent of hair loss or scarring. These treatments are spaced apart, with the times between sessions bespoke to each individuals treatment plan.

This depends on many factors but yes those with grey hair can still benefit from the scalp micro-pigmentation 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.

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.

Depending upon the pattern and extent of the thinning hair, some clients are able to maintain a longer length of hair. Scalp Micro-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.

For most clients, the pain is minimal and it's consistently less painful than traditional tattoos. After your session, you won't experience any further discomfort.

The equipment used for a scalp treatment is considered micro-pigmentation or "permanent cosmetic" equipment. There are many different brands and designs and equipment includes a digital power hand-piece, and disposable micro needles for the insertion of pigment. Most technicians of scalp micro-pigmentation use different equipment than standard tattoo artists to ensure the deposits are delicately placed at the appropriate depth in the skin.

After completion of your treatment a client should expect the strength of the colour to last for a few years. Longer term, a client will very gradually begin to notice slight lightening of the treatment. When this occurs they can undergo a brief "touch up" session to restore any fading and secure many more years of their style.

This redness subsides quickly and most clients return to work either right away or within a couple of days. Clients are also allowed to wear hats or headwear should they feel the need.
