Hair Follicle Replication Scalp Micropigmentation in Morganville, NJ

Come in and see for yourself!

Hair Follicle Simulation (HFS)/ Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)/ Hair Loss Tattoo is a form of paramedical cosmetic tattooing (micropigmentation) that camouflages hair loss by mimicking the look of natural hair. The procedure is ideal for people suffering hair loss-- receding hairlines, alopoecia, excessive scarring from hair transplants, and/ or have suffered from hair loss due to chemical burns, hair extensions, braiding, or weaves.

This procedure is referred to by many names-- Hair Follicle Simulation (HFS), Hair Follicle Replication (HFR), Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP), Hair Loss Tattoo, Hair Tattoo, Head Tattoo, Scalp Tattoo, and a variation of many others. Although it may be referred to as a tattoo, the pigment is only inserted into the dermal layer of the skin and our inks do not change color after applying like a regular tattoo does.

New Jersey is a regulated state for Micropigmentation. Tattoo artists are NOT Micropigmentation Practitioners. Board Certification is required by The American Academy of Micropigmentation (AAM), which includes completion of an extensive training program, in addition to years of experience.

Some states such as New York do not have Micropigmentation tattooing regulations. Anyone can pick up a tattoo gun and tattoo the public without any training necessary. Please do your research before choosing a clinic.

Our center is Board Licensed and approved for any type of Permanent or Paramedical Cosmetics procedure. Our practitioners are Fellows of the American Academy of Micropigmentation and are Nationally Board Certified. In addition, we are licensed to use topical anesthetics to minimize discomfort.

We highly recommend that this technique be performed by a specialist in Hair Follicle Replication/ Scalp Micropigmentation. Specialized techniques, specifically- designed needles, and specially- formulated hair color pigments are used in comparison to traditional permanent cosmetic "make-up" practitioners. This is considered a paramedical procedure that safely focuses on creating the illusion of hair follicles to camouflage areas on your head and body. Our practitioners are not only specialists in this area, but also have the compassion and understanding for how upsetting it is to lose your hair. Even Jhon-Jhon and many other staff members are proudly showcasing their unnoticeable Hair Follicle Replication/ Scalp Micropigmentation/ Hair Loss Tattoo.

The exact cost for Hair Follicle Replication/ Scalp Micropigmentation/ Hair Loss Tattoo will vary for each individual due to a number of factors such as the size and location of the desired area, scarring from Hair Transplant procedures or accidents, and the style desired.

Phone consultations will not be performed without your complete set of pictures. The exact price quote will be evaluated by your practitioner during your FREE in-person consultation.

You should send in clear pictures of your entire head from every angle-- front, back, left, right, and top view, as well as any areas of concern such as scars from hair transplants or accidents. Please take care to take the photos in good lighting without any glare or obstruction. You can upload and submit your photos in the contact form above. Alternatively, the photos may be emailed to hfr@jhonjhon.com. Please be sure to include your name and phone number with your set of photos.

​Of course! When scheduling, please let your consultant know that you would like to get your consultation and procedure done on the same day, and he/she will make the necessary arrangements.

​Typically, your visit should last between 3-5 hours depending on how much of your head will be treated. We dedicate the first 30-60 minutes to fill out initial client paperwork and have an in-depth consultation with your practitioner. Then, your scalp will be numbed with a unique non- allergenic topical anesthetic (a period of time which you will spend relaxing in your private room). Then, the actual application will last between 2-4 hours. Feel free to bring materials to read for relaxation and/ or a laptop. Wi-fi will be available for your use.

​Technically, this procedure is considered permanent because the color is implanted in the upper reticular part of the dermal layer of the skin, and cannot be washed off. However, as with any tattoo, fading can and often does occur, requiring periodic maintenance, or color enhancement. Just like our natural hair color, implanted pigment in the skin may fade with time. We offer one year of touch-up treatments to address any fading. The life-span of this procedure varies for each individual based on ethnicity, sun exposure and products used. Typically, the Hair Follicle Replication will last anywhere from 3-15 years.

​We are able to offer our non-laser tattoo removal service, EliminInk, to our customers if need be for any reason. We also specialize in Scalp Micropigmentation corrections, repair and removal for anyone who has received undesired results from other places that provide similar services. For more questions on how this process works, please check out or EliminInk page.

​The specially formulated pigments we use to replicate hair follicles with a natural look, and are not designed to do so. Traditional tattoo inks are not used due to the high possibilities of ink fading into blue or green. Naturally, the color(s) will lighten and soften over time, so in the long- term, it may be necessary to undergo additional treatments.

We have a huge selection of pigments that is specially mixed to match any hair follicle.

We use an array of computer controlled, sterile, single- use microfine needles to penetrate the dermal layer of the skin and achieve the consistency of results that Hair Follicle Replication/ Scalp Micropimentation/ Hair Loss Tattoo requires. This prevents the needle from being inserted any deeper in to the skin than programmed). The needles we use are created specifically for very fine hair strokes/ dots to replicate the hair follicle. Sterile disposable needles and single, individual containers for pigments are used to avoid any possible contamination and to prevent the transmission of any diseases opposed to autoclaving and reusing needles. With autoclaving, it is possible that needles may not be 100% sterilized due to a mechanical problem with the autoclave or human error. We heavily promote safety and sanitation, and avoid the risk completely by using disposable needles. Please do your research for the safety of your health and well being.

​Prior to arrival, we recommend that you come in for your consultation and/ or procedure wearing the hair style you prefer.

​Though this mostly depends on your own personal pain tolerance, we do provide ways for you to feel the most relaxed during your procedure/ For the first 30-60 minutes of your visit, you will relax in your private room where you may watch TV, read, or go on your personal laptop while our unique, non-allergenic topical anesthetic is applied on the treatment areas. This should numb your head thoroughly and comfortably. Topical anesthetic will also be applied regularly during your procedure.

Clients who have mentioned that they have low pain tolerance have recommended for new clients to receive a prescription for pain medication from their primary physician, or simply bring in some Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen to ease the pain. It is important that blood thinners and/ or aspirin is not taken before the procedure.

​Absolutely! They complement each other. We fill in the gaps between the hair transplants to give a fuller and natural look. We cover up and hair transplant (HT) scars with replicated hair follicles.
