Frequently asked questions

The scalp procedure can take from 2 to 6 hours depending on the amount of hair loss, size of the treated area and will require 2-3 sessions with a 4 week minimum gap between procedures. This will be discussed during your pre-treatment consultation.

Some people are more sensitive than others and it’s important that we together establish your comfort level.

A majority of Scalp Micropigmentation treatments are Semi-Permanent and will require a regular maintenance. The effect should last between 1 and 3 years, thereafter a top up/ booster treatment is recommended to maintain the desired look.

Yes it is. We can’t make your hair grow back through micropigmentation but we can simulate the look/impression of the hair on the affected areas, regardless of the length of your hair, short, long or none.Alopecia Totalis and Alopecia Universalis are known to cause hair loss across the entire body and can be devastating, seriously affecting your confidence and self-esteem.We can work together to recreate the impression of hair including a natural and realistic looking hairline.Androgenic Alopecia (male/female pattern baldness) and Alopecia Areate can cause thinning of the hair and patchy hair loss. The condition affects an estimated 6.5 million people as reported by the NHS. The causes can vary from poor nutrition and medical side effects with a majority of cases being hereditary.With Micropigmentaion we can create an illusion of hair growth across the whole area and for the patches we can optically reduce the contrast between your natural hair and the skin.

There is common misconception that Scalp Micropigmentation is just for men.Women can also experience medical conditions such as alopecia and baldness as well as thinning hair due to past hair treatment damage, hormonal changes, hair products, poor diet or pregnancy. Femininity is often associated with hair and it can be devastating when hair loss becomes visible.For a treatment price indication without consultation please feel free to send photos of your head to info@perfectdefinition.co.uk .

It is important that you make the right decision, feel comfortable about the procedure and understand how it works and what to expect.I always recommend minimum of 24 hours between the initial consultation and the treatment, possibly longer if there is specific medical requirement prior to the procedure.

You can expect an instant visible hair imitation result. You will experience some redness and soreness of the area, which usually lasts a couple of days.Immediately after the procedure, the pigment dots will appear darker. Between the 5th and 10th day after the procedure the pigment may “disappear”, which is to be expected as the pigment will get obscured by new skin cells, which is a natural part of the healing process. That can last for up to four weeks before the pigment “reappears” to its true colour.Over subsequent sessions we can improve the definition and shape of your hairline.I aim to achieve a natural looking outcome that compliments your facial shape and features.

We will work together to design the best hairline shape for your features. You can also bring a picture of your hairline from the past.Special wax pencils will be used to draw the shape of the hairline on your skin.We will only go ahead with the treatment once we are both happy with the design.

For fully bald or partially bald clients, it is recommended to maintain a freshly-shaved or cropped look, so you might be required to shave every 2-3 days and you can do that yourself at home, saving a fortune on hairdresser/ barber visits. Letting your hair grow too much will give away the secret. You can start shaving your hair 7 days after the treatment date.For patients with thinning hair or patches, specific advice will be provided at the consultation but you should be able to keep your hair at the desired length.

Yes, as it might affect the outcome and time scale/allowances of your Micropigmentation procedure.

Before: no alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours prior to the treatment (this can affect pigment retention), no hair dyes at least 10 days prior to the treatment, no Botox or any other injectable at least 2 weeks prior to the treatment.After: exercise is not recommended during the 5 days after treatment; no shaving of the scalp for 7 days; no washing of the scalp for 3 days. Avoid chlorinated swimming pools for 1 month. You’ll need to wear good sunscreen on sunny days to protect the pigment from fading as a part of your regular maintenance.
