FAQs
WHAT EXACTLY IS SCALP MICRO PIGMENTATION?
SMP is a permanent hair loss solution for all types of hair loss in men and women. It’s quick, affordable and there’s no downtime. Contrary to other hair loss remedies, SMP works 100% of the time.
Using a needle that is 75% smaller than a tattoo needle and organic carbon based pigment, impressions are made with light taps into the most superficial layer of the skin. This replicates the exact appearance of shaved hair stubble. Over the course of three separate sessions a new custom hairline is created and density is built up on the scalp.
HOW LONG DOES SMP LAST FOR?
Scalp Micropigmentation lasts 2-5 years or as long as you want it to with top up sessions. As it naturally lightens up, mainly due to UV exposure, it always keeps the illusion of a shaved scalp and a touch up is done to bring in a more crisp freshly shaved look.
​
HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT TAKE?
A full Scalp micropigmentation treatment typically takes 3-4 appointments of around 2-3 hours each to complete. We space each appointment 7-14 days apart for healing between each treatment session.
​
IS LASER THERAPY SUITABLE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES?
Laser therapy using IPL is suitable for all skin types except type 5 on the Fitzpatrick scale (dark brown to black) skin tones. As long as the hair follicle has more pigment than the skin IPL laser will be very effective.
​
IS LASER THERAPY EXPENSIVE? Initially the cost of laser therapy can be expensive but comparing the cost of a lifetime's worth of shaving and waxing, it simply is not. Laser therapy is great value for money. It's also important to remember it is hassle free, saving you time and effort shaving/waxing.
​
DOES LASER THERAPY HURT? Laser hair removal feels like the flick of an elastic band on the skin. A beam of light hits the skin which can feel hot, however we use ice packs to help ease this sensation and the machine head has crystal freeze technology which also cools the skin before the heat is applied.
Tattoo removal is described as the same kind of sensation only the beam of light is condensed into a smaller target. Again we use ice packs to cool the skin before heat is applied.
​
HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED? There are so many different factors to take into account when doing laser therapy. Some of which are; age, skin type, lifestyle factors, how well your body responds to the treatment etc. We can never predict results but on average hair removal can be between 6-8 and tattoo removal 6-12.
​
IS LASER THERAPY SUITABLE FOR MEN? YES! Laser therapy is ideal for men that have unwanted tufts, back, chest and stomach hair. It is efficient and effective equally well across the entire body saving time and hassle with other tedious methods. All laser procedures are suitable for men including wrinkle reduction and skin rejuvenation.

WHAT IS SKIN REJUVENATION? As we all know many of us hate signs of aging and a lot of people have some form of skin damage caused by too much sun exposure, poor lifestyle an toxins in our everyday environment. Which can increase the aging process and leave us with dried out, uneven Skin tone, fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots and a general lack of a youthful appearance. Skin rejuvenation works by sending a beam of light down to the epidermis which transmutes to heat, creating minute wounds which then encourages the production of new collagen and elastin fibres. Collagen is a protein cell in your body that creates the framework of your skin and gives your skin it's firmness. Therefore our skin rejuvenation treatments will:
​
💫tighten loose skin
💫even out skin tone and correct sun spots
💫stimulate collagen and elastin production
💫reduce fine lines and wrinkles
Treatments suitable for both men and women and all clients will receive a consultation and patch test prior to any treatments. Please contact us for further enquires or to book your free patch test and consultation. We look forward to seeing you!
