Scalp micropigmentation for men is usually focused on replicating the appearance of shaven hair follicles but for women we instead need to decrease the contrast between scalp and hair. Women are not usually required to shave before treatment and we instead work with you to apply pigmentation section by section which helps give the appearance of thicker hair.

Scalp Micropigmentation is usually performed over the course of 3 treatments. The first session uses lighter pigments to help build the foundation. The second session takes place around 1 week after your first session, during this session we will start to add more density by using darker pigments. 3 – 5 weeks later you will return for your third session which will be focused on building up detail and completing the overall look.
No, scalp micropigmentation treatment is not considered permanent as the ink changes/fades over time. There are two options in terms of the pigment/ink; one which needs a touch-up or colour boost every 12 months on average and one which is more long-lasting and requires a top up every 3-5 years. Lifestyle, sun exposure and skin type can all impact on the longevity of the treatment.
