SCALP MICRO PIGMENTATION EXPLAINED Scalp micro pigmentation is the most recent ground breaking and innovative procedure available to hair loss sufferers around the globe. Scalp micro pigmentation entails depositing medically graded organic pigment into the dermal layer of the skin using the scalp micro pigmentation technique. This tiny dot of pigment on the scalp in combination with thousands of similar pigmentation dots create and simulate the effect of natural hair. This optical illusion is interpreted by the human brain representing an early developing hair follicle with the hair just beginning to push through the scalp. The human brain interprets this as a normal head of hair... with hair of different lengths. This is a fabulous simple and noninvasive solution for males and females suffering from hair loss, male and female pattern baldness, thinning hair, alopecia and many other medical conditions causing hair loss. INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED The ISHRS (International Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons) now officially regards SMP as a new treatment option, to be offered to patients suffering from hair loss, baldness and thinning of the hair. The techniques for scalp micro pigmentation have been further perfected in the New Hair Institute (Los Angeles) by Dr William Rassmann and Dr. Jae Pak over the last two years. MHS created the Gold Standard for scalp micro pigmentation in Europe, by sourcing first-class skills and techniques, providing you with a superior solution for your balding concerns... 7

SMP FOR MALES Scalp micro pigmentation is fast becoming the most popular male grooming treatment. Male pattern baldness (MPB) affects 20% of men by the age of 20, 30% of men by 30, 40% by 40 and so on. This rule of thumb provides scary statistics... until now. The scalp micro pigmentation technique is a ground breaking treatment that will bring huge relief to a very significant percentage of men suffering from the spoiling effects of loss of hair and thinning of hair. In most cases it is unfortunately not only hair that is shed... confidence, self-esteem, looks, sex appeal and so it goes on! SMP is the simplest way to give you a fuller looking head of hair. It is the most effective solution for this form of hair loss. No Surgery, no pills, no creams, no screams! Pictures Three MHS clients before SMP treatment.

Thinning hair SMP (scalp micro pigmentation) has become very popular with clients who suffer from thinning hair loss to areas of the scalp. Just like in patients who have had hair transplants, the treatment reduces the contrast between the reflection of the scalp and the color of the hair. The treatment when applied to these areas creates a look of fullness and density. Not all baldness is the same, some patients have receding hairlines others the bald spot, and many just suffer gradual overall thinning of the hair. Until recently the options for camouflaging thinning hair have been quite crude, with products ranging from color sprays to nano fibres. In all these cases the remedies have been short term and sometimes embarrassing. SMP offers a more long term and naturally appearing solution for this particular hair loss affliction, without the need for constantly applying superficial and disposable products. Density restored for a fuller look HAIRLINE CORRECTED & VIBRANCY RESTORED In a great deal of cases male clients are both beginning to find their hair thinning out and noticing their hairline is receding and becoming uneven. Scalp micro pigmentation performed on such clients can have outstanding results. The effect of the treatment leads to a greater look of darker density throughout the scalp along with a look of clean lines and a rejuvenated hairline. 13

SMP FOR FEMALES Female pattern baldness (FPB) affects many more females than is generally known out there. 40% of all females have noticeable thinning and loss of hair by the age of 40. It is not yet fully understood what causes FPB, but it may be linked to the menopause and certain autoimmune diseases. There is no FDA approved medication for FPB, and suitability of the client for a hair transplant is complicated. Hair Restoration Surgery in females is further complicated by a high prevalence in the development of acute hair shock loss and shedding postoperatively. This is however just temporary, but is certainly an important fact to consider when this is suggested as an option of treatment. The scalp micro pigmentation technique delivered by MHS is a major breakthrough in the treatment of female hair loss management. The scalp micro pigmentation technique is non-invasive, reducing the risk of hair shock loss. The SMP treatment makes a significant cosmetic improvement by reducing the contrast between the color of the scalp and the hair, with no down time. Before After 14

SMP & HAIR TRANSPLANTS A perfect combination MHS is the perfect adjunct to hair transplant surgery. The treatment adds a look of density to the transplanted area. The methods and techniques used by hair transplant surgeons have improved a great deal in recent years, and can create an almost completely natural appearance using your own hair to provide coverage in thinning areas. MHS treatment adds a look of fullness to the transplanted area, by reducing the contrast between your scalp and your hair color. A hair transplant pre & post SMP It is possible to combine a Scalp Micro Pigmentation treatment with a current transplant, and it is also possible to have a hair transplant after having the SMP treatment done! They are interchangeable and actually complement each other. In fact, it has been highly recommend that the two be combined. ISHRS recommended At the ISHRS (international society of hair restoration surgery) annual scientific meeting in October 2012, SMP was adapted at this scientific meeting as a recommended treatment that should be offered as one of the official treatments to all clients suffering hair loss. Most hair transplant surgeons now agree that the best possible solution for hair loss is to combine SMP with a transplant. Providing information on all of the alternatives The MHS Clinic is in a very unique position in the scalp pigmentation market, due to the fact that we have a close working relationship with the Hair Restoration Institute in Dublin the Irish leaders in hair transplant surgery. In addition to this, the HRI transplant surgeon, Dr. van Eeden, conducts all MHS clinic consultations; this gives us the ability to present the patient with all of the information and options available to them, so it is then possible for them to make an informed decision on which course of action is best suited to their particular circumstances. This close working relationship has also allowed the MHS clinic to negotiate on behalf of our clients an impressive 10% discount on a hair transplant within 5 years of getting their SMP treatment. This will give younger men the opportunity to avail of our treatment and then down the line if they feel the need have a transplant they will benefit from this discount. 16
