Scalp Micropigmentation and Scar Camouflage both involve pigment being implanted into the skin using a tiny dotting technique call pointillism. Building up the tiny dots to increase the density and blending it away to create a natural fade makes this technique a very popular option for people looking to camouflage hair loss and scaring.
Scalp Micropigmentation can camouflage thinning hair by creating a shadow on the scalp creating the look of density to the hair. Perfect for those with hair loss in smaller areas like the crown or hairline, and for those with longer hair who wear it in a parting.
Full Scalp Micropigmentation is for those who have lost a large amount of hair. This works best when the remaining hair is kept very short, ideally shaving the scalp 2-3 times per week or wet shaving. The tiny Micropigmentation dots implanted then blend perfectly with the natural hair follicles making it almost impossible to differentiate between them. This is ideal for those living with Alopecia.
Scar Camouflage is increasing in popularity as more and more people are having hair transplant procedures. Hair Transplant also known as FUE (Folicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) involve removing a large section of scalp from the back of the hair and implanting plug like sections to the top and front of the scalp with the hope that it will survive the procedure and begin to grow again. There are two techniques one removes a single large section of skin, leaving a large thin section of scar tissue at the back of the scalp, the other technique takes smaller sections of hair across the back leaving lots of patches of scar tissue that looks a lot like Alopecia patches. If the hair is kept longer and styled securely the scaring is easily covered but as soon as the hair is cut into a shorter style or the wind blows it the obvious unsightly scars are exposed. Micropigmentation will camouflage scars by darkening the flesh tone to blend with the hair tone.
Scalp Micropigmentation, Densification and Scar Camouflage Treatment price is very much dependent on a number of factors such as the amount of hair loss, natural hair density, skin condition and colouring. As a guide charges start from £175 per hour, sessions are usually 2-3 hours, initial treatment requires 2-3 treatments. Colour boosts are usually required every 3-5 years and only one session is required.
