Hi JJ, thanks for the reply. Can you tell me how your technique differs from someone like Melina Lardi from Beauty med Italy.

 

Her pigments fade away after 1.5 to 2 years which i think is a good thing if you are going grey and then maybe even silver white.

 

What stops your treatment bleeding or turning blue or green?

 

I have my hair cut to a no2 all over, the top looks fine after many Hts but the back has many plug scars from early Hts.

 

 

20 years ago i had some so called semi permanent tattooing on some of the scars and its still there having turned blue and bled. Although only a small area. So you can see i need to be really sure before i commit to any company.

 

Thanks

Hi Trinder

 

I don't think there would be much of a difference in the technique we use to apply the pigment, the difference is in the pigment we use, by the looks of it Melina uses a semi permanent pigment that fades away after 2 years.

 

We use a more permanent pigment, it will still soften over the years, but our treatment will last 3 to 6 years before needing a touch up, the reason for this is that we do not penetrate into the skin as deep as a regular tattoo and we don't use regular tattoo ink that is designed to last a lifetime.

 

The pigment will not bleed as we only penetrate 2 layers deep, which holds the pigment in the collagen matrix of the dermis which will not allow the pigment to spread as opposed to a normal tattoo which is deeper and will blur and spread over the years.

 

The pigment we use will only soften into a lighter colour of the original colour that was deposited into the scalp, which does not contain any other colours, so it will not turn blue or green.

 

So even if your hair turns grey or white later on it will still blend with the pigment as you can stop getting it touched up and let it soften into a lighter colour,

 

Hope this helps

 

Thanks

Jason

Hi moopookoo

 

The price is not worked out per dot or cm2 it is quoted per scalp, depending on how much area needs coverage.

Yes eventually if you stop getting it touched-up it will fade completely, the time it takes depends on each individual and how well you look after your scalp, like moisturizing and keeping it protected from the sun.
