Scalp Micropigmentation

Scalp Micropigmentation is a form of cosmetic tattooing where we simulate the look of a hair follicle.

Scalp Micropigmentation typically takes 3-4 sessions to complete and will require touch ups once every 4-5 years depending on sun exposure. To maintain the pigment it is important that male patients wear sunscreen and or a hat where possible. Melissa recommends using Neutrogena 50+ facial sunscreen Matte finish.

During the initial consultation process Melissa will discuss the area to be tattooed as well as any conditions which may affect the outcome (e.g. Psoriasis).

For Men

Melissa Carr implants a specialised carbon pigment into the skin about 0.5 mm deep. For male patients this gives the impression of a complete ‘5 0’Clock shadow’ when done across the entire scalp. This is a popular procedure for men suffering from hair loss who want that neatly shaven look or to give the appearance of thicker hair.

For Women

The typical pattern of female pattern baldness is different from that of male pattern baldness. The hair thins all over the head, but the frontal hairline is maintained. Scalp Mircopigmentation is used to reduce the contrast between the flesh coloured scalp and the patients hair.

I am extremely happy with the result. My hair looks much fuller and entirely natural. It has exceeded my expectations. Melissa and her team are extremely professional and highly skilled. The procedure is comfortable and performed in a relaxed atmosphere. I only wish I had done this a long time ago.

Going through with the SMP procedure was the best choice I could ever make, the process was very smooth, pain free and the results have changed not only the way the world sees me but the way I see myself. My confidence is back and I no longer feel I need to hide away from social events and activities. Highly recommended.
