HED South Africa is a men's boutique studio specialising in the revolutionary art of Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)

WHAT IS SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION? 

 

Scalp Micropigmentation (commonly known as SMP or micropigmentation) is a cosmetic tattoo that creates natural-looking hair follicles using microneedles and organic pigments. This gives the illusion of a completely full head of hair, closely shaved to a “buzz cut.” When this procedure is performed by a trained and experienced SMP practitioner, the results appear 100% natural. Your work colleagues, friends and family members won't be aware that you’ve undergone treatment. The most common feedback in this respect is that clients receive compliments of looking younger or healthier.

 

SMP is not a cure, but it is a highly effective cosmetic concealment. By implanting organic black pigments into the scalp, the appearance of natural hair follicles is given. The contrast between the scalp and hair is reduced, creating a wonderful illusion of a full head of hair.

 

This treatment can be done without shaving your head. That means you can still retain your long locks as we work on covering up the appearance of the bare scalp. Once the density work is done, you will find that your scalp is no longer as noticeable and your hair should do a good job of completing the natural look. SMP can be performed on bald, receding, thinning clients and people who are looking to camouflage scars, burns or hair transplant scars. This technique is also great for clients who suffer from with medical conditions such as alopecia or cancer.

 

Scalp micropigmentation is becoming more and more popular due to its natural and undetectable results.

Each hairline design, hairline finish and follicle replication is customised according to our client's unique facial feactures and head shape.

TYPES OF PROCEDURES

 

Hair Density 

 

SMP can be a wonderful addition to a head of hair that has good coverage but poor density. Micropigmentation can add a base layer of colour to the scalp and alleviate the contrast of hair to skin.

Hairline Rejuvination

 

We can now reverse your receding hairline and instantly bring back your youthful appearance!

Blending the new hair follicles seamlessly with your remaining hair, you can regain your confidence and feel you again.

Scar Camoflauge

 

A common byproduct of hair transplant procedures - scars can leave unsightly, pale, bald patches at the back of your head.

Our scar camouflage is the perfect way to hide this side effect and blends in with your natural hair colour.

Our fully equiped studio is based inside the Brow Boutique South Africa premisis. Our studio is private, secure and surrounded by the lush Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens.

 

We pride ourselves on giving our guests our undivided attention. All of our procedures are one-on-one and by appointment only.
