The hairline is the focal point of the baldness cure and if performed incorrectly it can lead to devastating results. With our unique ability to build and layer soft and natural hairlines, you’re in good hands. Soft hairlines give a natural look to Scalp Micropigmentation and are best suited to those who wish for the result to be as undetectable as possible. The edge-up sharp hairline look...is fuller and straighter, offering that ‘just stepped out of the barbers’ appearance. This sharp and fresh look suits darker skin tones and is generally an older style of SMP.Create A Neatly Shaven Look
If the hair loss pattern is more advanced, using a razor is the best option to keep the Scalp Micropigmentation and tattooed hair simulation the same. We can also suggest grooming ideas during your free consultation, to help you understand the importance of clipping to achieve the best result.Add Density To Thinning Hair
If you have undergone hair transplant surgery or have thinning hair, consider using Scalp Micropigmentation to add the illusion of density and volume to your hair. We place pigments between the hair to reduce the visibility of the scalp seen through the hair. Typically guys with dark hair look at this option, as the scalp (which is flesh tone) shows through against their dark hair. Reducing this contrast makes the hair appear thicker. As well as males, females are also well suited for this procedure.Scar Camouflage
Many hair transplantation clients who have older hair transplants such as Alopecia Reductions, Scalp Reduction, Plugs or Flaps, or have poor healing suffer from visible scars at the back of the head. For those who have lost more hair since the procedure, or didn’t have a successful hair transplant, often find themselves restricted in their hair styles, therefore seek scar camouflage options.Alopecia
Alopecia Scalp Micropigmentation can be utilised in a variety of ways, greatly expanding cosmetic treatment options for Alopecia Areata and other types of Alopecia hair loss.
