I have been in the hair loss industry for 30 years. I feel I havecome on a 30 year full circle, as my family business started off inmanufacturing wigs and hairpieces and opening hair loss centres.

Twenty years ago I learnt micropigmentation – now I’m back!

My journey in micropigmentation started from seeking solutions for ladiesundergoing chemotherapy and those with alopecia. I feel that ‘by putting colourback into the skin, I could put colour back into people’s lives’.

As a technician I have gone from using a needle in a chopstick to now owningone of the world’s most unique manufacturing and distribution centres as wellas one of the largest micropigmentation training schools in the world for:

n Scalp tattooing n Burns/scar & skin camouflagen Meso4Men n Areola re-pigmentationn Digital skin needling n Facial feature restorationn Semi permanent make up n Pigment removal

I am proud to work with an incredible team to launch our unique range ofcourses in scalp micropigmentation. Together with our master educators, wehave over 50 years of experience in the industry.

We have an unrivalled wealth of knowledge – let us share with you our expertise in SMP (scalp micro procedures) - helping you become experts in scalpand eyebrow enhancement, for both men and women with hair loss.

MicropigMANtation is a form of scalp tattooing,

known mostly as SMP (Scalp Micro Procedures),

in which specialised needles are used to implant

coloured pigments/inks into the scalp, face or body

to replicate a hair follicle, create densification or to

camouflage hair loss.

Our unique training programmes offer an unrivalled

educational experience followed by excellent

on-going support. Our courses are a proven balance

of theoretical and hands-on learning. All courses

provide information on both permanent and semi

permanent implantation techniques.

Whether you are thinking of setting up a stand alone

studio or wanting to incorporate MicropigMANtation

into your existing practice, let our team of experts

help and guide you to choosing the correct pathway

to success.

Digital skin needling can be used to trigger the body’s natural defence mechanism.The trauma caused can stimulate the body to produce proteins, which areresponsible for the production of new hair follicles. Preferred serums can beinfused into the scalp by using the safety cartridge needles reservoir to deliver thesubstances into the scalp.

Meso4Men is a new skin needling programme which can produce incredible

results. The visible skin damage such as wrinkles, fine lines, dehydration and

sagging actually happens below the surface of the skin – this is also where the

repair takes place.

Meso4Men substances penetrate very effectively right to the intersection between

epidermis and dermis and place the highly effective substances directly at the

problem areas with amazing results.

Skin and wrinkle improvement is often seen after only 1 treatment and these

results encourage clients to continue with the entire course.

Using hyaluronic skin infusions and an 18 point plastic needle cartridge, you will be

able to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin texture

and tone.

Clients undertake a course of treatments over 6-8 sessions and then 6 weekly

visits thereafter.

Shannon Surgeson, Clinical Assistant @ Advanced Hair & SkinDr. Vance Elliott Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada

For the past few years I had been searching for a professional and reliable

training company to teach me the art of scalp micropigmentation. I had

researched different companies in the United States and Canada. I even had

some training from a traditional tattoo artist, because ‘tattooing dots can't be

that hard, right?’ Wrong!

Finally, in 2015 I met Dawn of Finishing Touches at the ISHRS meeting in

Chicago. She was absolutely amazing, wonderful and caring. Her team listened

to my struggles of learning this procedure. They explained to me all of the

services they offer for both permanent and semi permanent scalp work, as well

as eyebrow tattooing. Now eyebrow work is something that would fit

perfectly into Dr. Elliott’s practice of hair loss and restoration. It was a no brainer.

I was booked and going to London, England to spend time with this wonderful

company to learn both eyebrow tattooing and scalp micropigmentation.

The theory and hands-on experience during my training was by far the best I

had ever received in my quest. I loved the team, and the knowledge given to

me by Matt. I immediately felt I had the confidence to go home to Canada and

offer these services to our patients. I've kept in touch with my trainers and

even some of the students.

I have been able to reach out to Finishing Touches at anytime if I have

questions or just need a bit of guidance. I would highly highly recommend

their team to achieve your goals of starting these procedures in your practice.
