Facts And Myths
What follows is a series of common myths about the MHT® treatment, and of course the facts
As the MHT technique has grown in popularity, the treatment is being more regularly discussed in hair loss forums, blogs, on news sites and of course, offline. Whilst we’re obviously pleased that our technique is gaining recognition, there is sometimes a level of confusion about exactly what the treatment is, what it can offer hair loss sufferers and how easy a solution it is to live with following treatment.
For further reading please see our frequently asked questions, learn more about us, view our clinical practice section, and also our MHT® treatment section where you can learn more about the technique and view our before and after photos. Of course you can also contact us or talk to our existing customers in our forum.
Myth – “It’s just like a regular tattoo”
Absolutely not. The needles and pigments used, and the technique applied are entirely different.
Myth – “The pigment will turn green after a period of time, as regular tattoos do”
The pigments we use are different, and will never turn green.
Myth – “People will notice that it is not real hair on my head”
All of our past customers agree that the only way someone would know they’d had treatment would be if they’d chosen to tell them. Some of our customers don’t even tell their family or partners.
Myth – “The process requires several treatments to complete”
Strictly speaking this isn’t a myth. The required number of treatments depends on the individual, their hair colour and their preferences. Often we apply a lighter treatment to start with, and customers can choose to go darker if they wish.
1-3 treatments is average, with many customers requiring just 2 sessions. One of our competitors claims to be able to complete any treatment in one session, something we certainly wouldn’t recommend under normal circumstances.
Myth – “You can’t re-treat an area of scalp that has already been treated”
This is true of regular tattoos, primarily due to the broader dispersal of traditional tattoo inks. MHT is not a regular tattoo however, so areas that have been treated previously using the technique can be re-treated at a later stage if required.
Myth – “MHT is just scalp shading”
Absolutely not. Scalp shading would provide nothing more than a crude camouflage, and would be immediately obvious. We replicate each individual hair folicle for a totally natural appearance.
Myth – “The treatment will be expensive”
Absolutely not. Contact us for an estimated cost, then compare our solution against hair transplant surgery or a lifetime of lotions, potions and pills. You’ll find we offer an exceptionally competitive pricing structure, that is based on your individual requirements. MHT offers life changing benefits. Not only does our pricing structure compare extremely favourably with other solutions, it also represents a superb investment in your lifestyle and wellbeing.
