SKALPTEC NEWS
Hair loss and male pattern baldness is on the rise in the UK. A recent report – The Psychological Effect, Pathophysiology, and Management of Androgenetic Alopecia in Men – suggests that nearly 40% of men in the UK are either bald or balding. This distressing development can have a big effect on a man’s self-esteem, particularly for younger men.
For years there have been quack hair loss cures such as rubbing marmite into your scalp and expensive, painful treatments including unnatural looking hair transplants or even more obvious wigs. At last though there is a simple, safe and cost-effective solution: micropigmentation from Skalptec.
The procedure is a very effective solution. Scalp Micro pigmentation (also known as SMP) is more than just a hair tattoo. It is a popular non-surgical hair loss treatment where natural pigments are applied to the dermal layer of the scalp, and what you see is a solution for your hair loss.
Following an initial consultation with one of our award-winning team members, and having established the exact pigment colour that’s right for you, we’ll begin the first of your applications of ink into your scalp. Each session typically lasts around three hours.
Now that may sound like a long time, but our technicians are craftsmen who take great pride in what they do and so they go to infinite pains to ensure the end result is nothing short of natural-looking. And speaking of pain, no, the procedure isn’t particularly painful.
Some clients are initially under the impression that the level of discomfort will be akin to having a tattoo; but don’t worry, it isn’t. Between sessions there will be a small amount of redness and ‘dotting’ as the scalp heals over but this soon passes.
At each session, we will carefully layer up these pigments so that by the end you will be left with a head of shaved-looking hair that blends in seamlessly with the rest of your remaining hair.
A natural custom pigment is applied to the epidermal layer of the scalp, and this effectively gives the natural appearance of natural hair follicles on the scalp.
SMP is non-surgical and it isn’t just about having a tattoo on the scalp in the traditional sense. After the final treatment, the affected area of the scalp will be seen to display a natural look of hair follicles. For instance bald spots, a receding hairline, thinning hair, alopecia can be all be treated by a qualified scalp technician.
Micropigmentation is a process for men and women where tattoos – permanent dermis pigmentation – is designed to give the appearance of wearing makeup in areas such as eyelids, lips, face and eyebrows. Scalp micropigmentation involves a different process and a different skillset.
Scalp micropigmentation is a popular hair loss solution when it comes to men and women who have to deal with losing their hair. Skalpec provides the following SMP services for men and women:

Micropigmentation is the world’s fastest growing solution to the problem of hair loss, alopecia and baldness. The micropigmentation process is non-surgical and involves having minuscule deposits of ink placed into the upper layers of skin on the scalp. When the procedure is complete and with thousands of deposits in place, the effect is to give the appearance of a freshly shaved head. Any suggestion of baldness vanishes and you are left looking like you have simply chosen a sleek, modern hairstyle.
When carried out by a skilled technician in a specialist environment such as at a Skalptec clinic, the process is completely safe. The inks we use are natural products and if you are concerned about any allergic reactions, we can do a batch test to be certain. There’s no risk of infection either. Because the pigments are layered in the upper levels of the dermis, the procedure is non-invasive and so doesn’t leave your skin open to bacterial attack. At Skalptec we also ensure that all our instruments are sterile before use, so you can rest easy.
As the procedure is non-surgical, there’s no lengthy recovery period following your scalp micropigmentation and there’s no need to take drugs either. If you are particularly sensitive to discomfort it can be an idea to take a couple of ibuprofen before each session, but otherwise this is a medication-free way to a great looking hairstyle.
A skilled scalp technician will guide you from the initial consultation to the final treatment and aftercare. Some discomfort may be felt during the procedure, and there is no surgery involved. People say there is hardly any discomfort and how much discomfort you feel will depend on various factors which the scalp technician will explain. Here is a video which shows one of our delighted Skalptec Clients talking about his SMP experience:
Effects will be seen immediately after the first treatment (normally 2 to 4 treatments are required to see the final result). Aftercare is an important aspect of maintaining your final look. SSMP results will last for years, and with occasional touch ups, results will last even longer.
