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 or to give the appearance of thicker hair.

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.

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.

SMP is the best thing I ever did, I only wish I'd done it sooner. It has given me back confidence I lost in my early 20's when I started to go bald. I hid behind wearing a cap to hide my hair loss for 20 years. Since getting SMP I don't wear a cap anymore. It's awesome seeing my hairline again & not worrying about looking bald anymore. Melissa did a great job of making my hair So realistic.
