Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical hair restoration treatment that involves the placement of tiny pigment deposits within the upper layer of the scalp dermis that visually imitates the appearance of natural follicles.
SMP is a perfect solution if you want to achieve:
Price of SMP depends on the level of hair loss. It is individual for each client. The price will be discussed at your free consultation which is especially useful to determine how many sessions you need to complete a procedure. In general, pricing varies between $1,500 - $5,000.
SMP replicates each hair follicle and provides the most natural solution for hair loss which is undetectable for others.
Most clients can expect between 2-4 sessions to achieve the final result. Sessions are generally performed at least 2 weeks apart to allow time for exfoliation and settling of the ink.
After completion of your treatment results from scalp micropigmentation can last between 3-6 years. Most patients will require touch-ups after this period.
No. The needles used in scalp micropigmentation are smaller and the pigment is deposited not as deep as the regular tattoo. The technique is also different and the pigments we use are specifically formulated for SMP. We use carbon-based pigments that get diluted with distilled water to match the shade of the hair shaft where it emerges from the scalp to give the most natural appearance.
Scalp micropigmentation does not penetrate deep enough to reach or damage the hair follicle.
Everyone experiences SMP differently. Some patients fall asleep during the procedure while others experience modest discomfort. Some areas of the scalp (hairline, temples, scar tissue) are more sensitive than others.
Scalp micropigmentation requires no downtime. You may return to work either right away after procedure. The redness and swelling will subside around days 1-3. If you have a scar treated, redness and swelling will last a bit longer.

Powder eyebrow is a treatment that replaces eyebrow pencils and assures perfectly shaped and balanced brows all day long, every day. This is done by inserting pigments into the dermis layer of the skin. As a result, the eyebrows look as if you have tinted them with a pencil or eye shadows. You get the most natural effect.
Powder eyebrow tattoo technique is suitable for you if:
The pain is minimal. We also use effective topical numbing cream for our clients to have a comfortable experience.
Yes. We use pre-sterilized and disposable needles and equipment for every customer to ensure that there is no cross-contamination.
Results will last for up to 12-18 months, depending on individual circumstances such as skin type, aftercare, health condition, and lifestyle.
The entire treatment time is approximately 1,5-2 hours.
As a rule clients don't experience any swelling. But a slight redness may occur, however it is not very noticeable and will go away quickly after the procedure.
Healing should take around 5-12 days. However, this could differ from person to person.
At least 4 weeks after the first session to allow the skin to heal completely before another session.
Yes. Tattooing does not affect hair growth in any way.
The brow shape and color are custom made to your facial structure and preference. We match the natural color of the hair of the brows. We use only the newest and best cosmetic tattoo inks in the market and insert pigment very superficially which is not accompanied by color migration.
Powder eyebrow is a two-step process and the touch-up session is necessary to set the shape and color. The touch-up session done within 1 month of the initial treatment, is extremely important to ensure perfect results. We use this session to set the shape and color and make any small adjustments if needed.
There is no downtime, however the brow will take about 6-12 days to fully heal. The brow may appear darker than you are used to for a few days, then will lighten into the desired color within two weeks. The brow will soften in color by up to 40-70%. Please follow after-care instructions and return for the touch-up session within 1 month.
Before and during exfoliation:
Strong chemicals or glycolic acid/peels of any kind may cause the pigment to lighten. Always use a sunblock after the procedure area is healed to protect from sun fading.
After 4 - 10 days the darkness will fade and once swelling dissipates unevenness usually disappears. Exfoliation, which begins in a few days, will cause the excess pigment surrounding the eyebrow procedure to flake away and a narrower appearance of your eyebrows. Don’t be concerned that your eyebrows initially appear darker and heavier in size then you desire. Powder eyebrow is a two-step process and the Touch-up session is necessary to set the shape and color.
With microblading, the pigment is deposited into the skin with a special pen (a thin microblade). The artist cuts the skin with the microblade to the dermis layer, applying strokes that imitate hairs and pigment over them. This is damage to the upper layer of the dermis, which is accompanied by pain, blood excretion, and scarring. We do not provide this service.
Numerous reviews assert that the result of microblading eyebrows is a natural 3D look that lasts 1 year. But in practice, everything is quite different and we can observe undesirable consequences of microblading, including lasting or even irreversible ones.
The beautiful photos “before and after” which lure customers are taken right after the procedure.
Immediately after the procedure, the damaged skin contracts squeezes and the applied lines which imitate hairs look very thin, beautiful, and real. Over time you will observe something quite different. When the brows heal over, they do not form a straight line, but a dotted one and no longer look so elegant and natural. Sores (micro cuts) heal and microscars appear. The inserted pigment migrates to the dermis. Because of this, the lines become thicker, partially blurred. We highly recommend choosing a modern technique of permanent makeup - powder eyebrows.

Rejuvi Tattoo Remover utilizes an unique chemical extraction mechanism to soften the tattoo pigments that gradually move to the skin surface.
It is non-color selective (applicable to all tattoo colors), effective, less scarring and much less expensive.
Rejuvi Tattoo Removal technique was developed in the early 1990s and was introduced to the U.S. market in the mid-1990s. This technique has penetrated into more than 60 countries around the world with great publicity.
Rejuvi is a specifically designed cream that has magnetic properties. By using a tattoo machine, this fluid is delivered to the tattoo which immediately captures the original tattoo ink. The fluid erupts through the skin surface along with colored ink. Rejuvi Tattoo Remover is specially formulated not to remain in the skin so that the skin repels or ejects the mixture to the skin surface to form a protective scab or crust, which will detach naturally peeling off from the skin.
Generally the first treatment will provide excellent results. Once the crust has naturally fallen away, a large amount of ink will have been removed from the skin. However, it is important to note that every case will be different.
If properly applied, only one treatment is needed for removal of Microblading or Permanent Makeup.
However, 2-6 treatments are needed for body tattoo removal with miminal scarring risk. The time required for a treatment depends upon the removal area. A large tattoo may be divided into several small sections for removal to minimize discomfort after treatment.
Hypertrophic scarring (keloid) is a possible side effect for the removal of tattoos and should be minimized. This can be avoided when done by a trained professional who uses the proper technique.
No, they both are different methods of tattoo extraction. Laser treatment works by destroying the tattoo. The beams break the tattoo into small particles which are then get absorbed by the skin. On the other hand, Rejuvi, specialized cream draws the ink out of the skin. It works on almost all types of tattoo, no matter what type or color it has.
Yes, Rejuvi Tattoo Remover is very effective after laser.
There are certain skin types that will be susceptible to keloid scarring and are therefore not suitable. We will also not use the system on pregnant or breastfeeding clients.
The treatment will take a minimum of 45 mins to numb the skin and an additional 15 – 60 minutes session of removal, depending on the size.
You will be required to wait between 4 – 10 weeks between each treatment to allow the skin to heal fully.
This will be totally dependent on the individual, size of the tattoo and how you respond to the treatment.
You will be given Rejuvi after care cream and instructions which must be strictly followed .The aftercare is the most important part of the treatment.
There is a high risk of infection or scarring if you do not follow these instructions. The crust must be left to fall off naturally, please be aware that because the wound can be up to 3mm in depth this can take up to 14 days. If you pick, pull or knock off the crust will affect the overall result.
The area must be kept dry and cool until the scab has formed and has started to naturally fall away.
There will be a brownish layer of Rejuvi Tattoo Remover remaining on the treated area. Keep this layer from any water contact for 60-72 hours. Thereafter, slight water contact (shower for a few minutes) is okay. Gently pat dry with a cotton pad then natural air dry. No soaking, no bath, no swimming, no direct water to the treated area. A dark scab or crust will form gradually due to pigments merging into the Rejuvi Tattoo Remover. A scab usually naturally peels off in 10-15 days for removal of permanent makeup and 15-25 days for removal of body tattoos depending upon the individual condition. Avoid forcing or rubbing off of the scab.

It’s a process of inserting colored pigments into the upper layer of the dermis to visually restore your appearance.
These pigments must “shine up through” scars, thin skin, grafts and other irregularities. For this reason, repigmentation and color recreation often require multiple visits of up to a year in order to simulate natural skin tones. While these injected tones may from time-to-time simulate the exact color and tone desired, it will not always be a perfect match. This is due to the fact that while natural skin tones vary when the skin is cold or warn, tan or untanned, or whether your circulation is good or poor, injected pigments are permanent and do not change color.
Scar camouflage tattoo requires multiple visits to set the color.
Normally, the client does not feel any pain. Each case however is different and there may be minimal sensation. Topical anesthetic cream is used before and during your procedure to have a comfortable experience.
Depends on area the procedure may takes about 0,5-1,5 hours.
Yes. We use pre-sterilized and disposable needles and equipment for every customer to ensure that there is no cross-contamination.
Typically between 7-14 days. Expect moderate swelling and redness up to three days following the procedure.
