Excellent Results with Mark Weston

WORTH IT
I got the micropigmentation done with Mark and Mike (Michael Pichinte, one of his students) about 9 weeks ago. The experience and results are very good. None of my friends can even tell - that's how natural it looks. I'd gotten a (2500 graft) FUE hair transplant a year ago, and I needed to hide some of the many scars in the back, as well as redefine the front and add density to the rest of my scalp. The micropigmentation did just that. And it was remarkably painless. Mike did most of the work (which got me a discount from Mark), but the results were excellent. At first Mark was micromanaging Mike quite a bit, but after Mike showed his skill with the tattoo needle, Mark gave him leeway. Both Mark and Mike showed an ability to make the kind of microadjustments on the fly that are characteristic of those with a good aesthetic sense. After we drew the hairline where I wanted it, Mark made some slight adjustments during the tattooing that added to the naturalness of the hairline. Similarly, Mike did a remarkable job with the blending in different areas of the scalp by making some adjustments (to the dot placement/density) that actually added some subtlety to Mark's general guidelines. Mark's center in Florida is very comfy and everyone was very friendly. The part of town where Mark's center is located is beautiful, right by the beach. I'd like to have stayed a few more days to enjoy it, but it's also in a rich part of town, and the hotel (or "rental unit") is $220/night (at least in June), so I limited my stay to 2 days. All in all pretty happy with the results. I've experimented with different lengths, and (for me)  I picked Mark Weston because of the permanent results of his patented needle, and because of his unequaled experience and longevity in the business. He also has integrity, which is currently a rare quality in the business of micropigmentation. From what I understand, Mike is working at the Weston center in Southern California, so he is also an excellent choice for those living on the other coast.? I'm including some pictures; some from before, and some from after the micropigmentation, and some from before my FUE as well. Mark recommends 1/16'' hair length (1.6mm) although for me it seems like anything from 1/24'' (1mm) to 1/8'' (3.2mm) is very good. In fact, a few of the pics I include here were after cutting my hair to about 0.5mm and the micropigmentation still looked good. Have in mind, though, that this is after the pigment has "cured" and acquired a softer look, which takes about a month.
