Only natural ingredients will be used, and the result is an imitation of hair follicles and encouraged growth for a new hairline. These results can be expected to last for many years, however as time passes the colour may start to fade, and in these cases clients can book in for touch up sessions.

The experience takes place in a sterile, comfortable environment and between 2 to 4 sessions are needed on average to complete full scalp pigmentation. These are usually spaced 2 or 3 weeks apart and the first session can last between 2 and 4 hours. Each case is different and the number of sessions needed depends on the level of scaring and hair loss, but all details can be discussed during the consultation.
