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 โ€˜5 0โ€™Clock shadowโ€™ 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.

Hey guys, I finally threw the cap away! Iโ€™m happy to show my scalp now that Iโ€™ve had the SMP, no more hiding behind my cap. My girlfriend and close friends all think itโ€™s mint. So glad I went ahead. Iโ€™m stoked to no longer feel bald. You guys put my hairline in the right place, it feels just right. So good to feel my confidence back again.

I am really really pleased with the outcome of my Scalp Micro Pigmentation treatment. I feel and look a million dollars. Nobody noticed my scalp had been tattooed. Until I tell them. Professional job, fully recommend Melissa to whoever is considering this treatment.
