See the difference with medical tattooing for hair loss

Scalp Micropigmentation Surrey

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 hairloss 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. Medical Tattooing can replicate the surrounding hair to reduce the visibility of bald/thinning or scarred areas of hairloss. It is a safe, effective, and long-lasting treatment that results in a natural, realistic effect.

How can medical tattooing help?

  • thinning hair
  • eyebrow thinning and loss
  • eyelash thinning and loss
  • scarring to the brow area and scalp

I am based in a state of the art clinics in both Surrey, just off the M25, and London. If you are searching for “Scalp Micropigmentation Surrey” you have come to the right place.

How does it work?

Scalp density: Pigment or ink can be used to imitate hair follicles. This will be performed over three sessions, building up the colour and detail over time. This process doesn’t grow hair or change the natural hair growth, but makes the area of scalp look fuller and denser.

Brows: Hairstrokes can be recreated and shading added for more or less definition.

Eyes: Blues, browns and black coloured pigments can be added to create a very gentle soft definition or a stronger line created for full definition.

Medical Tattooing with pigment can last between one to five years before a Colour Boost is needed. When ink is used in place of pigment the results are longer lasting and require a colour boost every five plus years.

Pre-Treatment

For your comfort, refrain from alcohol or caffeine in the 24 hours pre-treatment.

If you are having medical tattooing on your face, please arrive without makeup on, or arrive early and remove your makeup 20 minutes before your treatment time. This gives your skin time to calm down and return to its normal colouring. If you are having medical tattooing on your scalp, wash your hair and scalp thoroughly the night before your treatment.

If you have had even ONE COLD SORE in the past, and are having a treatment close to your lip, use an anti-herpes medication 5 x daily before your treatment and for 5 days afterwards. This will help prevent a breakout which could cause you discomfort and scarring. You will need to obtain this from a chemist or your doctor.

Please arrive for your appointment at least 10 minutes early to fill in any clinic forms, use the bathroom and get yourself settled. Rae will come to the waiting room/reception at your appointment time.

Consultation

A consultation is essential to determine a full medical history, patient expectations, suitability of treatment and a personalised treatment plan. For your safety as well as your practitioners preparation, a consultation is a requirement to determine the best course of action.

Treatment

You will be taken to the treatment room for initial photographs. Before any treatment begins, the area to be tattooed is cleaned. If required, a topical anaesethic will be applied and the pigments will then be mixed. Once the anaesethic has worked, any drawing on of features or shapes will happen. You will have time to discuss, modify, work out the most suitable shape, size and placement for you. Once this is all agreed, the tattooing will start. It is not a particularly painful treatment but more anaesethic can be applied during the treatment if needed.

What my patients say…

"If I could regain and harness all the time and energy I've ever spent agonising over my hair (or lack of) I could probably power the whole of London for over a year. I've literally spent hours painstakingly clipping it up in obscure ways in the attempt to make my hair look "normal". Exhausting. I've tried to be philosophical about the scarring and extremely thin patches of hair that cover my scalp, but at the end of the day it's a matter of confidence and feeling comfortable in your body. They don't call hair your "crowning glory" for nothing. Medical tattooing is incredible. I feel so lucky to have had it recommended to me. I was shown such care, attention to detail, warmth & empathy, and instead of feeling awkward about "baring all”, I felt like a masterpiece. The tattooing is done so skilfully that far from being painful, I actually find it relaxing!

The tattooing is done so skilfully that far from being painful, I actually find it relaxing! This has changed my life. I now have the confidence to wear my hair in whichever way I want to, and this confidence is reflected in all that I do. Instead of wasting energy on being self-conscious I can focus on what really matters, enjoying life!"

"In January I lost all my hair to total alopecia! Lucklily in May Rae Denman came to my WI and gave us a talk about permanent makeup and medical tattooing. I was very impressed to see her skill at tattooing “hair” where there wasn’t actually any which really looked “real”. After consideration and also seeing the work she did creating one of my WI colleague’s eyebrows I contacted her in July. It is now September and I can boast I have the “best eyebrows” I have ever had and they are completely maintenance free! I visited her 4 times. The first she established what had caused my condition and what medication I was taking (making careful notes along the way). As I have always had allergies once I agreed that I wished to go ahead she patch tested me with the anaesthetic and vegetable dyes that she would use, and only when she knew that I would not be allergic to them did I go again for my first treatment. She very carefully selected the dyes she thought best for me and then proceeded to outline my new brows, and before anything permanent happened gave me a mirror to check that I was completely happy with the shape and colour. On my approval she proceeded. She carefully explained that they would look darker initially and then would “fade” and that they would be a little puffy and may weep initially. I am glad to say I sailed through this with hardly any discomfort at all. The next time I visited she completed my brows. My next visit was just to ensure I did not need any “touching up” or to perfect anything I may have thought needed any adjustment or addition in any way. My whole treatment was conducted with the utmost care and consideration. The tattooing itself is not at all painful and well worth the little “discomfort” experienced for the end result. My new eyebrows have given my face definition lost without brows and lashes and has given my confidence a great boost – I love them! I have no reservation in recommending Rae as she is certainly a “master of her craft."

Milly Kidd, September 2018

"I had a complex about my eyebrows for many years but it worsened in 2016 when I lost my hair and then my eyebrows due to a traumatic experience. My confidence plummeted and I spent a lot of time searching for the right person to correct them. I went to see Rae Denman at the Harley Street Clinic on the 26th May 2018. She was extremely professional, knowledgeable and friendly. She took a lot of time to explain the procedure and made sure she understood my concerns and calmed my nerves. The whole experience was fantastic, the time went by so quickly. The result of Rae’s work is amazingly realistic and I highly recommend her."
