F.A.Q.

MHP is suitable for men suffering from baldness, reduced hair density and/or scars on the head causing a lot of colour difference.

MHP is not suitable for people with extreme allergies, eczema on the scalp and when taking certain medications.

If the 'shaven look' is the desired result, it is best to shave the hair to a length of 0.5 to 1 millimetre one day before the treatment. While doing so, disinfect the razor or razor blade to avoid inflammation. When optical density is desired, it is also possible to work between longer and pre-existing hairs.

Touch-up sessions are used to maintain the natural and fresh look. New pigments are placed during these sessions. How often a touch-up session is needed depends on the skin and lifestyle. If this session is waited longer, it will take more time and therefore take more time.

A complete treatment takes at least 3 sessions to achieve the desired result. A session takes 2 to 4 hours on average, of course this also varies per person and desired result.

Slight fading may occur when your desired result is achieved. Provided you follow proper aftercare, the result of the MHP will hold up well.

After the treatment, you will receive full aftercare guidelines from us. The scalp should not be shaved or washed for 4 days after treatment, and no intensive exercise should be done for 7 days due to excessive sweating. For 4 weeks after treatment, you are advised to wear a high factor sunscreen and avoid swimming pools. 

Removing a tattoo depends on the size, abrasion and the type and depth of ink used.

The tattoo can be removed completely but this also depends on the tattoo. Together we estimate how many treatments we will need, however, this cannot always be predicted. Removing a tattoo depends on its size, wear and tear, and the type and depth of ink used.

Unfortunately, as far as we know, no health insurer covers tattoo removal.

• When you tan from the sun from the sunbed
• For recent tattoos (less than 8 weeks old)
• In case of fever
• When taking antibiotics and skin-thinning drugs
• In case of pregnancy
• In epilepsy that is not controlled
• When undergoing chemotherapy of radiotherapy
• When there are metal prostheses under your tattoo
• When you have a pacemaker
• In autoimmune diseases

The experience of pain varies from person to person and also depends on the location of the tattoo. Generally, the feeling is described as a rubber band shot against the skin.
A tattoo on the ribs or fingers, for example, can be a bit more sensitive than on the shoulder or upper arm.

At BALD, we make sure the treatment is as comfortable as possible. We use a professional skin cooler that blows ice-cold air onto the skin during the laser treatment. This has a mild anaesthetic effect and significantly reduces the burning sensation, making the treatment more tolerable.

Pain-free laser treatment is possible with the use of an anaesthetic ointment, which leaves the skin numb. For this, however, you should apply special anaesthetic ointment more than an hour beforehand.

Our advice is to leave an average of 8 weeks between treatments, sometimes longer. Shorter than 8 weeks makes no sense at all. The body has to clear the ink particles on its own and that takes time. So the longer you give the body time to dispose of the ink particles, the more results you will get from the treatment and the fewer treatments you will need.
