Micro-pigmentation (tattoo) is used to create a 3D image of a hair line and/or crown and nape area. Also, for Breast Cancer patients who have had breast reconstruction surgery.

I came up with my method to make the most life like 3-D hair lines and Nape Area you can make just by using many pigments, needles and a custom Micropigmentation (tattoo) Machine. Traditionally we were taught to just use 2 color pigments and 2 different needles. But I'm a true creator at heart, I use many shades of colors and many different needles like I would use in painting an art masterpiece. This procedure has changed my clients lives and told me I'm the best and top Scalp micropigmentation (tattoo) artist they've found in New York City after much research. Definitely the most attentive and customized to their needs.

The pigment is applied to the top layer of the skin called Dermis with a small electronic micropigmentation (tattoo) machine which uses fine needles to implant pigments, retouch in a few years. These needles are sterile and disposable. I am essentially drawing a piece of artwork on your skin.

How long will it take?

You can expect to be with us for about 2 hours on your initial visit, then another 1 hour additional if you’re doing front and back or middle or the head. Some patients require one initial treatment followed by a second appointment to build up the pigment color.
What is the expected benefit of having this procedure? The aim of our 3-D Hair line and Natural micro-pigmentation (tattoo) is to improve the aesthetic appearance of The Nuw You, emotional, physical appearance and overall lifestyle by recreating, as closely as possible, an Authentic hair line or crown and nape area that mimics the existing Hair line and over natural look (if applicable). This has a positive effect on improving mental body image for women after reconstruction after Breast Cancer Mastectomy and boosting self-esteem for younger and older gentlemen.

What can I expect to happen during the procedure?

We will go through your medical history to determine whether you have any allergies or any indications that would prohibit performing the procedure. I will map out and design your Hair line & Discover placement and size. Choose a pigment color best match the shade of your other Under tone and Hair color (if applicable). If you are having all Three (bilateral) tattooed, we’ll choose a color that closely matches your pre-operative photographs (if available) or one that suits your skin tone. Three layers of pigment will be applied. The tattoo process usually takes about 1 to 3 Hours to complete per Placement. The color may appear 20-30% darker and brighter than the final result for the first few days.

Is this procedure painful?

The procedure should not be painful, although some tingling and discomfort are usually expected. Most patients are numb in their Head area. Occasionally patients require a topical local anesthetic cream applied 45-60 minutes prior to the procedure to numb the area.

What kind of aftercare should I do?

You may experience temporary swelling/ redness for the first day or two. Tegaderm, a sterile, breathable, waterproof, germ-proof barrier to protect your new tattoo. Leave the Tegaderm on for 3-4 days do not lift it, change it or remove it. Crusting/scabbing may occur in the areola & nipple area. This is a normal part of the healing process, and it is important not to pick at it as it may pull out the pigment and cause infection or scarring. You may use gauze after showering using antibacterial soap to pat the area dry & apply very thin layer Aquaphor or A&D ointment until it has fully healed. Do not swim, sunbathe, use a sauna or jacuzzi for two weeks to a month after the procedure to prevent pigment changes and infections.

​

Micropigmentation (SMP) will be perfect in just 2 treatments one week apart, some might need a third treatment 6 weeks after more micro-pigments will be applied again to create a perfect finished look. Depending on the amount of work needed, the treatment can take between 1 hour to 6 hours. You will be able to see the outline of your new hairline immediately after first treatment. There is virtually no downtime with this treatment – it is a non-surgical solution.
