About
ACHM™
Hair Replication
The Center's founder, Mark Weston has personally designed the
ACHM™,
which is unlike other "similar" procedures with recent like-sounding names. The
ACHM™
is neither tattooing nor
micropigmentation,
but a uniquely designed hybrid method developed by this 30-year tattooing
veteran. The
ACHM™
is a hand-made, custom designed system (patent pending) that truly mimics follicle size with precision and detail
which
cannot be duplicated by any competitors.
The
ACHM™
utilizes our own self blend of specially formulated pigments that
don't fade, don't turn blue, require no touch ups and can be called permanent. While some earlier hair replications were not the
ACHM™ (including Mark's
first one 18 years ago), this procedure has now been finely perfected.
While most commercially available black pigments contain blue,
none of our self
blended black pigments contain these blue additives. So if your natural hair color
is dark,
you can rest assured that our black pigments will not turn blue.
In addition, we ascertain the natural undertone of your skin and choose
the proper pigment shade that will compliment your skin tone.
Your own natural hair pigment is custom matched, as well as your hair
follicle size and blended in. It is nearly impossible to detect the
recreated tattoo area unless examined by touch.

Competitors call the

"unnatural-looking." Can
you tell the difference?

ACHM™
Replication
Procedure
Upon your arrival, you will
be welcomed into a relaxing but highly professional atmosphere. You
will consult
with the
ACHM™
developer and The Center's founder himself, Mark Weston.
You will not find cubicles nor "stations" attended by "stylists,"
employees or trainees in a salon/barber shop production-line setting. The
Artistry Concepts Hybrid Method (ACHM™)
is performed in a private
procedure room in a sterilized
environment.
Therefore, if your hair needs to be cut for this
procedure, we find it highly inappropriate to do so in the procedure
room as other providers do. Your hair will be cut at a different
location as to maintain a sterilized environment where your
ACHM™
will be completed. Mark Weston
will then ascertain your natural hairline or redevelop a new hairline for
you depending on your age.
At this time he will also
choose the proper pigment color and the
custom-made needle size to
achieve the closest replication of your hair follicle for the manner in
which you wish to wear your hair. You will also remain an
"individual," as you will not receive just a "generic" color as other
procedures offer.
The
ACHM™
hair replication is achieved by placing micro points of our own specially
formulated pigments into the
skin on the scalp, which will accurately and naturally mimic the density
of your natural growth. (See right thumbnail photo enlarged many
times). The
ACHM™
area will be extended down into
your remaining hair and blended in to complete the finished and natural
look. The
ACHM™
are
individual follicle points placed directly into your scalp.
The
ACHM™
allows some of your scalp to be visible, exactly like actual follicles.
Your scalp
is not
shaded like other procedures. You will be able to wear your hair closely buzzed or in some cases, at a longer length.
On the average, our
replication procedure will last from four to nine hours, depending on the
average loss and the additional
area to be blended.
The nine hour
time frame will be for men who have almost total hair loss. Full Alopecia clients may take as long
as 14 hours.
The
ACHM™
healing process is very simple, about a week. Typically,
most men heal in as little as three to four days. The
ACHM™
area will
look darker until the full curing process is complete, and the color will
"cure" (not be be confused with fading) a few shades lighter than
it initially appears (like wet paint). The broken skin from the
procedure
is also making the area look darker. You will normally be able to return to
your regular schedule the next day, as there is no "down" time.
And better yet, you will not need to return
for a touch up weeks, months or years later with our procedure. The
ACHM™
lasts a lifetime provided you don't
continually sunburn your scalp. What's best, you will not have to
bear the financial burden of repeated procedures, as other methods offered.
