If you’re feeling at a loss, there is an effective solution to lack of hair on brows, lash line and scalp.

Hair is often referred to as your ‘crowning glory’ and is a key part of our identity. But sometimes hair loss can occur from an early age, for a variety of reasons, resulting in baldness, thinning hair or scarring on the scalp, eyebrow or around the eye.

A change of facial features is one of the areas that has the biggest impact psychologically.

Medical tattooing has the answer to restoring many features such as eyebrows, eye definition and small patches of hairless due to illness, surgery or medical treatments. These areas can be visible and for both men and women, can cause worry and anxiety, often leading to a lack of confidence and significant stress.

How can medical tattooing help?

• hairloss patches
• thinning hair
• eyebrow thinning and loss
• eyelash thinning and loss
• scarring to the brow area and scalp
• scarring following hair replacement treatment
• alopecia

Searching for “Scalp Micropigmentation Surrey”?

I am based in a state of the art clinic in Reigate, Surrey, just off the M25. If you are Searching for “Scalp Micropigmentation Surrey” you have come to the right place.

How does it work?

After the area is fully healed, pigments can be used to imitate hair follicles. This will be performed in a few sessions, building up the colour and detail over time. The larger the area concerned, typically more sessions are required.

After a treatment the area will look red, sometimes raised and darker than the desired result. It can take three to seven days to heal, slight sloughing may occur, and then the colour will look approximately 50% lighter.

With scalp density work, ink is used in place of pigment so the results are longer lasting and only require a slight colour boost every five to ten years.

Medical Tattooing with pigment can last between one to five years before a Colour Boost may be needed.

The risks involved are minimal;

• As with all injection sites there is a risk of infection. To minimise this risk the aftercare needs to be adhered to. A dressing can be applied for the initial 48 hours to help reduce this risk.
• On a few occasions the skin does not retain the pigment well.
