We believe this is a very important decision in your life. Whilst we are confident you will love the results, we insist on a cooling off period of a minimum of 24hrs between consultation and treatment. This allows you to be committed and prepared.

The human head has an astonishing 2000 follicles per square inch. Not surprising, then, that it usually takes a minimum of three sessions to achieve your final desired look. As part of our resultsfocused approach, we apply a lighter pigment during treatment number 1. In session 2, we adjust to obtain a perfect match whilst adding density and the crucial blend into a natural hairline. In subsequent sessions, we focus on completing the appearance and adding detail.

Our clinics adhere stringently to the Health Protection Unit’s standards for infection control practices. Sterile medical gloves are used and single-use needles are disposed of immediately after use into sharps containers.

All of our practitioners are fully qualified to USA standards for micropigmentation treatments. They also carry full practitioners’ insurance.

The pigment will fade slightly over the first 4 weeks before

We will work with you using a wax pencil to craft the hairline that you want. Some clients will want a firmly defined hairline where others prefer soft, jagged looks – or perhaps even a mature, slightly receding effect. In general, we advise a soft line for the first treatment, with adjustments made to reach perfection during the following treatments.

The procedure should not be described in any way as painful. Using a pain scale (see below), the procedure usually ranks in the 1-3 range.

If you’re keen to minimize any pain or discomfort, we recommend you take a paracetamol or ibuprofen an hour before the treatment.

Happily, no. The discomfort is only during the actual medical tattoo procedure – and it does tend to be considered discomfort rather than pain.

We can apply a few dots to a discreet part of your scalp to test for allergic reactions. We can do this at your consultation, if you want to avoid a special trip for the test.

Following the treatment, your body will immediately begin to repair the ‘damage’ through homeostasis, manufacturing platelet-filled scabs at the dot sites. This is hardened by additional fibrin over the next several hours. These ‘scabs’ will fall away naturally in the days after the treatment, leaving your scalp looking fresher and follicle-full!

Most of our clients go for a freshly-shaved or ‘buzzed’ look, so they shave every 3-5 days, saving a fortune on barber visits! Letting your hair grow will give away the secret 😉

We understand that you’ll want the treatments to impact your work and family life as little as possible. Many of our clients fly in for treatments, so we ensure we are flexible, open late and at weekends, and have a highly effective booking system.

We try to be as light on our feet as possible. We know that when the decision has been made, you’ll be keen to get the process underway ASAP. We stay busy, so expect a minimum of a 1-2 week waiting period depending on your chosen clinic and flexibility with appointments.

This is a treatment suited to all ages. We often treat clients in their 60s and 70s. At the other end of the scale, we’re able to treat alopecia sufferers from age 12 — assuming we have full parental consent.

We’ll make sure you have full verbal and written after-care guidelines, but in reality, after-care is straightforward. Sweaty exercise is not recommended in the 5 days after treatment; nor is shaving or washing the scalp. You’ll also need to wear a good sunscreen and avoid chlorinated swimming pools for a month.

Our method of truly blending into your remaining hair with decreasing intensity means that the noticeability of future loss is minimized. The treatment can be topped-up to maintain the fuller look. As top-up treatments are less labor intensive for the scalp, any ongoing treatments aren’t too tough on your wallet, either.
