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. Once completed, the client then needs to keep his head shaved for best appearances, in some cases they can wear a no.1 clipper cut.
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.
