Micropigmentation of the scalp is a perfect solution for baldness. It allows for hiding even large areas without hair. Using modern methods, we can perfectly copy natural appearance. Scalp micropigmentation is a less expensive solution than hair transplant and complements this form of treatment; it is often used to hide the scar after hair transplant.
After the procedure, the scalp looks as if it is covered with thousands of new hairs.
In addition to scalp hair, we are increasingly recreating and thickening facial hair to create a defined line.
The procedure is virtually painless, gives immediate results and is very safe and, most importantly, predictable.
The effects of hair micropigmentation last for an average of 2 to 5 years.
1
The method is intended for people with short hair, especially with a significant degree of baldness. Pigmentation is based on creating micro-points imitating hair follicles. We always match the shade to the natural hair colour. The shape of the receding hairlines can be adapted to the facial features.
2
It is a good solution at the beginning of baldness for people with hair at least 3-4 cm long. Instead of using micro points, we pigment a shaded hair, using longer strokes of the razor. This thickens the hair visually and creates a very natural and discreet effect.
3
A method applied on the face, intended for men with sparse or very light beard. Thanks to the micro-point technology, it imitates hair follicles of natural beard. This method not only optically thickens the beard, but also creates its outline.
I highly recommend!
If you have old micropigmentation in the area of your planned pigmentation, you need tell us at the time of making a reservation. Laser removal may be required before re-pigmentation. We will invite you for a consultation in person or online to determine feasibility of the procedure. If you do not inform us, we may refuse to perform a procedure when you come for your appointment.
Not every technique is appropriate for every skin, which is why we make a final decision on which pigmentation method to choose at your pre-treatment consultation. It is not worth insisting on a certain method, just because you liked it in another person. An experienced linergist can assess what will look good on you.
Properly done micropigmentation is not a tattoo. It should last for a few years. If it lasts longer than 5 years, it is a tattoo and it means that it has been performed unprofessionally. Over the years the colour of the hair changes, the skin droops and changes its structure. Micropigmentation lasting too long would begin to deform with the aging skin and would stand out against the graying hair.
You do not have to be afraid of pain during the procedure. A strong anaesthetic will be administered before and during it.
Do not take common over-the-counter painkillers 2 weeks prior to the scheduled procedure, and avoid eating onions and garlic in large amounts to avoid blood thinning, which does not favour pigmentation.
If you are taking NSAIDs or blood thinners, consult your GP and ask if you can discontinue them two weeks before the procedure. If your GP refuses, don’t discontinue your medication on your own! The procedure can still be performed, but you have to accept the fact that additional corrections may be necessary. The price of the procedure always includes an obligatory correction performed after about 5 weeks. Additional touch-ups cost PLN 1000. Usually they are not necessary even if you are taking anticoagulants, but you have to take into account that they may have to be performed in order to achieve a perfect effect.
Do not sunbathe for at least one week before the procedure.
Micropigmentation touch-up after 4-6 weeks is necessary even if you think it is not. This promotes longevity and proper colouring in the future.
Micropigmentation is a gentle, yet invasive procedure for the skin, which causes some side effects. Swelling and redness at the treatment site are normal. Remember, the pictures of fresh micropigmentation you see online are usually taken in professional lighting and redness is covered up with concealer. Swelling is usually greatest on the second day. There is no need to worry, this is a physiological condition that will pass within a few days. You may also feel a slight itching associated with the healing process, which will last for up to 10 days. Remember that you must not scratch yourself during this time.
After the procedure, micropigmentation appears dark and exaggerated. This is normal. After healing it will be 30 to 50% lighter.
For the first day, do not heavily soak the treatment site or lubricate it with anything. By day 3, you should wash the micropigmentation twice a day with a water-soaked cotton swab both in and against the direction of hair growth. Do not rinse the pigmentation site with running water or use any detergents. When rinsing, be very careful not to break off the scab that is forming, which could destroy the pigmentation effect. This helps to remove plasma that appears on the surface of the pigmented site. Its colour may be transparent through red to slightly yellow.
From day 3-4 in case of short hair, the treatment site should be lubricated 3 times a day with a very thin layer of ointment received in the clinic. Lubrication should be continued until the scabs come off completely.
During the entire healing process, you must not tear off the forming scabs, because it may lead to damage to the effect and even to formation of scars.
Up to 10 days after pigmentation, you should avoid the sauna and swimming pool, and try to sleep on your back so as not to accidentally tear off forming scabs.
Up to 30 days after pigmentation, you should not sunbathe.
Micropigmentation of the scalp heals approximately 7-10 days.
Right after the procedure, it has a dark, intense colour. You should not be afraid of this effect. After healing, it will be 30 to 50% lighter.
On the first, and especially on the second and third day, the pigmentation site may be swollen and reddened. This is normal and depends mainly on your body’s natural predispositions. Swelling gradually goes down for up to a week.
On the first, and sometimes on the second day, plasma oozes from the pigmentation site. In the subsequent days, a delicate scab starts to form. After some time the scab starts to come off in parts. Do not tear it off, because you may destroy the micropigmentation effect! As it comes off, the scab reveals the finished, lighter effect underneath.
When the scab comes off, the micropigmentation may be a little too light, sometimes in too warm or cold tone. This should not be a concern. Over the next 28 days, the pigment will stabilise in the skin to reveal its final colour.
After about 4-6 weeks you will undergo pigmentation touch-up. You should come for this appointment. The effect may look nice, but only a professional lingerist can judge if certain areas need extra pigmentation, so that the effect lasts long and comes off evenly. It is also normal to have uneven colour distribution and lack of pigment in certain areas prior to pigmentation touch-up. During the basic procedure we are not able to predict how the skin will react, so we work carefully. The purpose of pigmentation touch-up is covering possible lacks and to even out the colour.
Some symptoms may indicate complications. If you notice any symptoms listed below within a few days of the procedure, please let us know immediately, we will organise an on-site or online consultation. Remember there is no reason to panic, the following symptoms may or may not indicate a complication. A professional linergist will assess it and guide you on the further steps.
Conditions of concern include:
The effect of micropigmentation changes over time. Original appearance lasts from 1.5 to 5 years.
To ensure that your micropigmentation retains its original colour for as long as possible, avoid sunbathing and peelings in the pigmented area.
When a dyes fades, it may change its shade and colour. This is a completely normal process and is not due to an incorrectly chosen pigment. It happens because our epidermis has a specific shade. The less pigment underneath it, the more the skin colour blends with a dye colour.
Brown can become salmon-coloured, while graphite and black tend to take on an olive and navy blue hue. Of course, pigmentation may keep its original colour until it disappears completely, but we can never predict this before the procedure.
To keep the effect perfect, saturated and fresh, you should have it refreshed every one to two years. If micropigmentation has been done with us, such refreshment within 2 years from the first pigmentation costs only 50% of the price of the procedure! The condition is pigmentation touch-up done within 3 months after the basic procedure.
CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR MICROPIGMENTATION
Taking anticoagulants or NSAIDs.
These medications thin the blood, which can cause increased bleeding during the procedure and, consequently, much weaker pigment deposition. If you are taking the above mentioned medications, consult your GP and ask if you can discontinue them two weeks before the procedure. If your GP refuses, don’t discontinue your medication on your own! The procedure can still be performed, but you have to accept the fact that additional corrections may be necessary. The price of the procedure always includes an obligatory correction performed after about 5 weeks. Additional touch-ups cost PLN 1000. Usually they are not necessary even if you are taking anticoagulants, but you have to take into account that they may have to be performed in order to achieve a perfect effect.
Hyperthyroidism.
This is not actually a contraindication, but you have to accept the fact that hyperthyroidism may cause the effects to disappear much more quickly.
Asymptomatic carrier of hepatitis B or hepatitis C.
Viral hepatitis often affects autoimmune reactions. It mainly depends on the stage and activity of the disease. Only your primary physician can decide if pigmentation is possible. Ask them for a written consent for the procedure. Ask them for a written consent to micropigmentation.
Diabetes.
In case of advanced diabetes wound healing is impaired. However, when treated and controlled, diabetes is not a problem. If you have diabetes, please ask your primary physician for a written consent for micropigmentation and present it to us on the day of the procedure.
Allergy to lidocaine.
Lidocaine is an anaesthetic that we use to relieve your discomfort during the procedure. If you are allergic to it, the procedure may be performed without anaesthesia. Discomfort you experience is similar to that of a tattoo, but weaker. Lidocaine is a very rare sensitizer; if you have had dental anaesthesia in the past and have not experienced any allergic symptoms, it means that you are probably not allergic to lidocaine!
Active cancer.
Cancer that occurred less than 5 years prior to the procedure.
Chemo- and radiotherapy
Autoimmune diseases apart from thyroid disease, acquired vitiligo, and alopecia areata. For example, these diseases include psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, sarcoidosis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis.
Treatment with Izotec or its substitutes less than 6 months prior the procedure date.
Steroids, except asthma medications and inhaled steroids, taken less than one month prior to the scheduled procedure.
High-dose iron preparations taken less than one month before the scheduled procedure.
Fungal medications or antibiotics taken less than one week prior to the procedure.
Tendency to keloids.
Hemofilia.
Epilepsy.
Asymptomatic HIV infection or active AIDS.
Skin diseases in the planned pigmentation site.
Creams and preparations with retinoids applied on the skin in the planned pigmentation site less than one month before the procedure.
