What is Beard Micropigmentation?
Beard micropigmentation, or beard tattoo, is similar to scalp micropigmentation (SMP). The aim is to replicate the appearance of hair follicles by applying ink into the dermis layer of the skin. The results leave the client with the illusion of hair.
Since many men struggle to have a full beard, the procedure helps fill in gaps whether it be to natural causes, conditions such as alopecia or accidents such as burns. The overall premise is to improve the quality of life of the client by achieving their desired appearance.
Who is beard micropigmentation for?
Beard micropigmentation is for anyone who resonates with the following:
- Struggles to grow facial hair
- Suffers from hair loss, including pattern baldness or alopecia
- Patchy facial hair
- Uneven facial hair
- Facial burns, scars or acne.
The great news is that beard micropigmentation can help any of these issues.
How does beard micropigmentation work?
The rise in popularity in scalp micropigmentation has also led to the increase in the popularity of beard tattoos. The procedure is perfect for those who struggle to grow their facial hair or are unhappy with their appearance.
Options
When suffering from facial hair loss there 2 major options to create a realistic look. The first is beard micropigmentation and the second is a hair transplant. Beard micropigmentation is a fast, non-surgical approach solution that is 100% effective, whereas a hair transplant can often be costly and have long recovery periods that cannot guarantee results. The major deciding factor is if you want to have the appearance of hair or actual facial hair.
Procedure
The procedure is similar to scalp micropigmentation. Over a few sessions, the artist layers the ink follicle impressions onto the skin to create a realistic illusion of natural hair follicles. Each treatment is tailored to the individual, lifestyle, age and skin tone are taken into consideration to achieve realistic results.
Upon completion of the treatment, you will be left with the appearance of a full beard, whether that be close-shaven or filling in the gaps in your longer facial hair. No matter your preferred style, short or long, the treatment will be tailored to your personal style.
What are the benefits of beard micropigmentation?
Non-Surgical
One of the major benefits of beard micropigmentation is the fact it is a non-surgical, painless process unlike a hair transplant - you won't be left with any new scars. It also means there is a faster recovery time.
Fast procedure
The procedure is typically done in 3 to 4 sessions depending on your individual circumstances making it a great turnaround. The results will be noticeable immediately after your first session, but after your final, you will see the true effects.
Low maintenance
Beard tattoos have low maintenance. You won't be needing any extra beard oil! After you have completed your treatment's aftercare routine, you will just need to keep the area moisturised to ensure lasting results.
Permanent
The treatment is permanent like any other tattoo, although over time they will fade. Whilst they can look great for up to 8 years, we recommend stopping by for a single top-up session every 3 to 4 years to maintain your fantastic look.
Instant boost in confidence
If your beard has been causing you to stress or leaving you lacking confidence, beard micropigmentation will make that all go away. The versatile treatment is able to solve any of your facial hair issues making them but a memory. Many of our clients notably say the treatment gives them an instant boost in confidence - just take a look at our reviews.
Cost-effective
Scalp micropigmentation doesn't break the bank, it's more of a sure investment when regarding the fact it is 100% effective and looks natural.
How much does beard micropigmentation cost?
The price can vary from clinic to clinic, although at VisionaryScalps our beard micropigmentation treatment in London costs £300 per sitting, totalling £900. As previously mentioned some clients may require more sessions depending on their circumstances, such as camouflaging scars.
How long does beard micropigmentation last?
Beard micropigmentation lasts between 3-7 years. Since it is a tattoo there will always be remnants of the procedure although like any other tattoo it will fade over time. We recommend coming back for a single session every 3/4 years to keep on top of it and to give you the best-looking results.
It is important to note that if you are not wanting to keep your beard and it is a phase, we recommend against getting the treatment due to the fact it is permanent. After you shave your beard you will always have the appearance of stubble.
How do I choose a beard micropigmentation artist?
The best advice to choose an artist would be how you would approach a tattoo artist. Make sure they are reputable, you like their work and they have positive client testimonials. Doing your due diligence helps avoid regrets and get the best results.
There are many components that make up a great artist, but the accessible signs are their previous work and testimonials which are usually accessible on the internet. Once you have found a few that you like, book in with them for an appointment to see if you are a good fit to work together.
