Complete nonsense Bladken2 and off-topic!

ORGANIC- many organic pigments are vegetable and fruit based, and some are classified as organic simply b/c they contain a Carbon Molecule. These have been known to cause allergic reactions, and this is just one of the reasons that most every clinic uses inorganic. Organic pigments are NOT allowed as you describe them...the organic pigments we refer to in micropigmentation are organic synthetics! The organics as you describe as vegetable and fruit based will cause reactions thats why they are not allowed. The organic synthetics actually have a pretty good track record if produced in compliance with ReSap2008.

Hi Scar5, Iron Oxides have a good track record of very very few allergic reactions (if in compliance with the legislation). All pigments in Europe are regulated and have to adhere to the ReSap2008 which sets out the limits of what it can, cannot or can maximum contain. Simply google ReSap2008 and you will find the document with all the info. Organics or Inorganics each have their own properties and behaviours and one isnt neccesarily better or worst than the other. Within the pigment industry for micropigmentation you will also find mixtures of the 2 together. Organics respond far better to laser removal since there are many "bridges" between the molecules so easier to break down. The Inorganics are more "solid" and need more treatments in general with a laser to breakdown Organics tend to fade a bit faster in general than inorganics. Hope this helps?

Pigmentalia was founded by Milena Lardi so not sure how that is me making money of her name since we work for the same company? We do our best every day to provide high quality treatments and do not make promises to clients we cant keep. We have our system we adhere to and permanent SMP is not part of it for reasons given before. Regards, Jasper Scholtes

Wow, no need to shout Baldken2 ;-) Any permanent ink or pigment will blur and fade, change colour over time. This is not a sales pitch but a fact. Our skin constanly changes and therefor whatever you put in the skin will change...this is not something anyone can prevent...including ourselves. My point is simply permanent scalp micropigmentation will not look natural after several years. The pigmemts used in micropigmentation (cosmetic, medical or scalp) will not last and are not meant to last exactly for this reason. I was simply trying to provide Nick with my views on the longevity of SMP, fact is many SMP practioners that offer permanent SMP use tattoo ink like products. Permanent SMP in my opinion is something that most will regret after 5-10 years. Kind Regards, Jasper Scholtes

Hi Nick, The permanent SMP treatments all use traditional tattoo ink, this is the only product that can remain visible after many years but this comes with a BIG disadvantage. If you think of old tattoos you can see that they start to blur and turn lightly blue-ish. In SMP this can mean that the dots will expand and start to connect leaving a shade of grey-blue, this will not look natural after a few years. The most natural looking solution is to opt for semi-permanent. These treatments are carried out using pigments rather than inks but not all of them are very good. I understand it can be very difficult to find the right technician and how to know what products and techniques they use. Pigmentalia (partners of Milena Lardi) use pigments which will fade within 2 years. Allthough this might not sound ideal, we feel its the only to avoid risking big blue dots in the future and also with yearly touch-ups we can keep the result looking fresh and natural. Hope this info helps, feel free to message me any time if you want more information about SMP in general. Kind Regards, Jasper Scholtes
