So is scalp tattooing Haram? As we know Scalp-micropigmentation (Scalp Tattooing) is a form of tattooing the scalp with pigment to permanently represent hair follicles to the scalp. As with traditional tattooing the pigments used within scalp-micropigmentation are inserted into the dermis layer of the skin using needles/tattoo guns. The pigments used are of a size that the body can not break down and as a method of protecting itself the body wraps the pigments in collagen within the dermis layer of the skin, this results in these pigments staying permanently within the dermis layer of the skin. This is where the main question is Scalp tattooing Haram derives from. The Tricopigmentation or Pigmentalia form of SMP only inserts pigments into the dermis layer of the skin and consequently the body reacts differently to these pigments. The pigment/follicle effect within Tricopigmentation or Pigmentalia is only temporary and not permanent* as over time the epidermis layer of our skin exfoliated and with this the inserted pigments exfoliate also. The latter exfoliation can take 12-18 months and consequently these forms of SMP are not permanent *.

For many within the Muslim faith tattooing is Haram and subsequently for those that believe this it naturally implies that traditional scalp-micropigmentation and scalp tattooing is Haram also as the pigments permanently mark the skin. Reading through the internet you’ll find varying opinions with regards to is tattooing haram, yet on a whole it would appear that majority of opinions suggest that any form of permanent tattooing is Haram. Among many a leading Muslim internet site quotes:-

‘Tattooing, in which the skin is pierced with a needle and a blue or other coloured dye is injected, is haraam in all forms, whether it causes pain or not, because it involves changing the creation of Allaah, and because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed the one who does tattoos and the one for whom that is done. In al-Saheehayn it is narrated that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “May Allaah curse the women who do tattoos and those for whom tattoos are done, those who pluck their eyebrows and those who file their teeth for the purpose of beautification and alter the creation of Allaah.” (al-Bukhaari, al-Libaas, 5587; Muslim, al-Libaas, 5538). 

With regard to all these matters, the ahaadeeth testify that the one who does them is cursed and that they are major sins. There is some difference of scholarly opinion as to the reason why they are forbidden. It was said that it is because they are a form of deception, and it was said that it is because it is a way of changing the creation of Allaah, as Ibn Mas’ood said – which is more correct and also includes the first meaning. And it was suggested that what is forbidden is only that which is permanent, because that is changing the creation of Allaah; as for that which is not permanent, such as kohl which used for adornment by women, that is permitted by the scholars. (Tafseer al-Qurtubi, 5/393).’ 

So if what is referred to in the question is that which is not permanent, then it is not a tattoo as such and does not change the creation’( https://islamqa.info/en/20283 )

The above points may still from time to time be challenged by those of the Muslim faith with regards to is scalp tattooing haram and subsequently is Scalp micropigmentation Haram yet it strongly suggests that there are few such questions when considering Tricopigmentation (Pigmentalia) as a true hair loss solution * for those within this faith sector.

We’ve all seen some great scalp micropigmentation pictures and results, yet in reality in the cold light of day these treatments when captured at an awkward angle can sometime look flat or washed out. This is where 3D scalp micropigmentation comes into play, utilising differently toned pigments and different needle sizes the hair follicles can be given the illusion of depth, thus giving a very natural and authentic appearance all round.

*

3D scalp micropigmentation is only really suitable for the shaved head appearance. Where some clients may need the 3D scalp micropigmentation appearance to blend in with their existing hair this form of procedure can often best benefit clients with total hair loss or Alopecia totalis.

The 3D scalp micropigmentation effect is achieved by adding a final layer of pigment after the normal procedure would otherwise be deemed complete. This layer is somewhat darker, applied with a thinner needle, and more sparsely distributed over the treatment area. The thinner needle draws more ink closer to the surface of the skin and given the addition of a darker pigment also then this gives the illusion of a natural 3D effect. It is important to remember that the 3D scalp micropigmentation effect is simply an optical illusion and will not change the surface texture of the skin, this said, unless you’re closer than 300mm away from the scalp it’s almost impossible to differentiate from natural follicles.

Redeem clinic can replicate this procedure with both forms of their scalp pigmentation process be it Trico-pigmentation* of Scalp Micropigmentation*, once again proving themselves to be at the cutting edge and skill sets within the industry.

Is there an alternative to traditional Hair transplants?

We’ve all heard of Laser tattoo removal * yet many don’t understand the variant between the different types of laser and what they do? The very vast majority of laser tattoo removal machines in the country are ND yag Q Switch lasers and since the deregulation of the laser removal industry in 2010 many cheap ND yag lasers have entered the market and this is why there is a proliferation of people being able to offer the service. Don’t get us wrong ND Yag lasers are very capable of removing many types of tattoo’s and we in fact have used one very successfully for many years, however ND Yag lasers will only remove Blue, Black and Red pigments and as often in life price seems generally to be linked with capability and this especially the case in the world of lasers. Ruby lasers on average cost at least ten times that of the ND yag laser. Why?. Well for one Ruby lasers can also remove Green pigments where ND yag lasers can’t. A very high proportion of us have green pigment in our tattoos and if we pursue tattoo removal solely using ND Yag laser then we are left with the green pigment still showing in our skin. Also Ruby lasers on average can work at a higher power setting than ND Yag lasers meaning they can penetrate further down into the skin allowing them to remove all the layers of ink ensuring tattoo removal where possible. Finally due to the higher power setting Ruby lasers tend to out perform ND yag lasers with regards to how many treatments are required. National average to remove a tattoo with ND Yag laser are 11 sessions, yet with Ruby laser it is 7-8 sessions. The good news is Redeem clinic utilise both ND Yag and Ruby laser tattoo removal. Add this to their Rejuvi non laser tattoo removal service and they are now the most comprehensive tattoo removal clinics in Hull and the Yorkshire region.

For a limited time only we are offering 10% off our Ruby treatment sessions (new clients only). In order to receive your 10% off voucher you can clinic the link below to claim the voucher.

Being one of only a handful of businesses in the UK and Yorkshire region to offer Tricopigmentation* services for clients with Alopecia and Hair loss problems, Redeem clinic are now also one of  a very few clinic in the whole of the UK to offer both Tricopigmentation* and Scalp Micropigmentation ( SMP Hair ) as well as SMP laser removal services. With the skills learnt and practiced in relation to our Trico services it was only always a small step to advancing these skills sets into SMP Hair, however we felt it crucial that we took time to hone these skills and fully understand the varying requirements from our customers before venturing into the permanent world of scalp micropigmentation. Needless to say with 18 months of Trico under our belts we felt we had met our own critical criteria, add to this further SMP Hair specific training in Knightsbridge we were delighted to find that with exception to the pigments and hand pieces used our skill sets perfectly matched those of SMP and the results matched the exceptional standards we had been achieving for some time via our Trico treatments. Accordingly Scalp micropigmentation as well as Tricopigmentation* can now be found at our Leeds, Hull, Halifax, Sheffield and Harrogate clinics and the best thing of all we can truly offer all our clients an unbiased view on either treatment. No pressure sales trying to sell one service over the other, just simple factual advise on the benefits of both treatments which allow the customers to make up their own minds. As ever our consultations are completely FREE and we offer some of the best value for money treatment throughout the whole of the UK.

Not being content to be reputedly the most comprehensive tattoo removal clinic within the Yorkshire region Redeem clinic has decided to go one step further in an attempt to become the most comprehensive tattoo removal clinic in the country by adding Picosecond laser technology. With their tattoo removal services already including Rejuvi tattoo removal, Ruby laser tattoo removal and ND yag laser tattoo removal Redeem clinic are also adding Picosecond laser tattoo removal services to their line up. Picosecond laser tattoo removal machines are at the cutting edge of laser removal equipment, picosecond lasers are designed to shatter tattoo pigments more quickly and more effectively than standard ND yag lasers. Redeem’s new Pico laser will also benefit from being able to target more ink colours than our traditional ND yag laser and will include, Blacks, Reds, Blues, Greens, Browns (and combinations thereof ). The Picosecond laser used by Redeem Clinic is also portable, so we are now able to carry out Laser tattoo removal in Leeds (coming Jan 2018) as well as our Hull clinic (currently available). As ever all our consultations are free.

What is picosecond laser?

Time units of the conversion relationship：

1 second =103 Millisecond

=106 Microsecond

=109 Nanosecond (ND Yag / Ruby)

=1012 Picosecond

So with picosecond laser each laser pulse duration (pulse width) is 1012th of a second. In 1983 Rox Anderson and John Parrish found that, “the principle of selective photothermolysis, is the shorter the laser action time, then the target tissue to absorb the accumulation of laser energy is less likely to spread to the surrounding tissue, the energy is limited to the extent of the target treatment  area and thus helps protect the surrounding normal tissue”. Picosecond laser pulse width is a one hundredth of the traditional Q-switched nanosecond laser, its excellent performance ensures that picosecond laser pulse crushing of pigment particles are more thorough, while the surrounding tissue also incurs less damage.
