Advanced Scalp Micro Pigmentation Course

Scalp micro-pigmentation is a highly advanced procedure where the process of tattooing the scalp with tiny micro-dots in order to give the resemblance of stubble – a short buzz-cut appearance which looks best when any remaining hair is kept very short. To the experienced practitioner, scalp micro-pigmentation is a relatively simple procedure, it is non-invasive and there is no down time.  We teach how to safely implant a specialized pigment (not a simple tattoo ink process – which may be prone to migration), how to match pigment colour to the existing hair colour (if any exists) or skin tone and how to design the hairline based on where it used to be.  Hundreds of micro-dots are then cautiously added to the scalp – focusing on the areas of thinning hair.  It is vitally important to be properly trained in this procedure to prevent creating ‘splotches’ instead of fine hair follicle simulation.  This procedure is suitable for men and for women who wish to gain the confidence that a full head of ‘hair’ offers.

The same process is used to camouflage a variety of head scars.  Learn how to use excellent numbing solutions, however, pain is experience is minimal as the pigment is placed at a very shallow depth into the skin.  While this can be a time-consuming procedure, it has proven to be an excellent alternative and is fast-growing in popularity.

NB  This advanced course is only available to existing artists who have already completed their basic training in permanent makeup and are therefore already experienced certified PMU Artists, who wish to add this procedure to their service offering.
