“Building on the progress of our ancestors, medical micro-pigmentation has taken a huge leap forward and continues to advance - digital apparatus which assures the precision placement of pigment now replaces the archaic use of the hypodermic needle and syringe whichAngres pioneered.
“Progressive techniques and a growth in demand today place the skill in a respected position in publicly funded hospitals and within the cosmetic surgery sector, where it’s used to relax and camouflage scars due to surgery and injury; to restore the areola post breast reconstruction; to re-pigment the hypo-pigmented skin of burn victims and conditions such asVitiligo; to mimic the look of hair growth and to improve the appearance of a cleft lip.”
One such technique isMHT® (Micro Hair Technique), founded by brother and sister-in-law duo IanWatson and Ranbir
Rai-Watson.MHT® came about after IanWatson developed alopecia during his brother’s battle against cancer. Ian looked into many hair loss solutions but did not come across anything that appealed to him.
With Ranbir, he then embarked on a journey across the world training with the best tattoo artists, micropigmentation practitioners and permanent make-up professionals to understand, learn and acquire the various skill sets. Taking what they had learnt, Ian and Ranbir spent several years developing and perfecting their very ownMHT® scalp pigmentation treatment for hair loss. Today, in association with the HIS Hair Clinic,MHT® creates a natural looking simulation of micro hairs on the scalp, creating the appearance of a short cropped hairstyle.
As I’m sure you can imagine, for those who offer paramedical micropigmentation procedures, the satisfaction of treating clients who can really benefit from treatment can give amazing job fulfilment to the technician.
“The psychological effects and sense of well-being experienced by those who have received micro- pigmentation’s paramedical procedures can only be fully appreciated by such patients,” commentsAndrew Stassi of Smudge Free.
“Recently, I saw a client from Norwich who suffers with alopecia. He had his eyebrows attempted by a guy in Israel. I have to say the work was absolutely atrocious. I corrected it to the best of my ability and the customer was so overjoyed, his wife who accompanied him was overcome with tears and was so happy with the result. This is what makes it all worthwhile for me,” he adds.
practice makes perfect
Of course, training in paramedical micropigmentation techniques takes a lot of skill and patience, as well as a sympathetic nature as most clients will have experienced a life-changing situation and will see the micropigmentation application as the finishing touch at the end of their eventful journey.With this in mind, it’s paramount that you consider your training provider carefully.
Smudge Free offers micropigmentation training for all levels, from beginners right through to paramedical
procedures.According to the Smudge Free website: “A fully qualified technician who has reached a high level of experience and confidence may then consider a training course in ‘Advanced
Micropigmentation’ or otherwise known as ‘Master Class’. This advanced level of training will take the technician to higher steps allowing greater diversity and the possibilities of working with The NHS (National Health Service).
“Competent and skilled technicians are very sought after in the paramedical field as well as in the beauty industry. They are especially very much in demand to work with leading plastic surgeons and oncologists to correct scarring after surgery.Women who have endured the long process to recovery after breast augmentation and reconstruction due to breast cancer can be given back their dignity by finishing off their corrective treatment with ‘Areola re- pigmentation’ or ‘Nipple tattooing’.”
Natural Enhancement offers its trainees the opportunity to learn the Medical- Speciality procedures as part of their Cosmedic® Smart-Start education at Premier level or as post graduate classes in individual one and two day modules.
