8 What is MicropigMANtation? www.micropigmantation.com

9 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.

The trauma caused can stimulate the body to produce proteins, which are responsible for the production of new hair follicles. Preferred serums can be infused into the scalp by using the safety cartridge needles reservoir to deliver the substances into the scalp. www.micropigmantation.com

22 Meso4Men Workshop OVERVIEW 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. www.micropigmantation.com

51 Shannon Surgeson, Clinical Assistant @ Advanced Hair & Skin Dr. 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. Head office: +44 (0)1444 414744 Sales: +44 (0)330 400 4351
