BALD Scots will soon be able to have their heads tattooed to create the impression they have a full head of hair.
Scott McGaw, 28, is behind the first such business venture in Scotland that will allow pioneering scalp pigmentation from America - a non-surgical procedure that uses the most advanced cosmetic tattoo - to create the illusion.
Mr McGaw, who started losing his hair four years ago, is opening the clinic in Glasgow tomorrow, where treatments will begin at £500.
He investigated popular methods such as hair plugs, given great publicity by footballer Wayne Rooney, but it was scalp pigmentation treatment that took his interest.
Mr McGaw says it can be more uncomfortable due to the length of time it takes, but a local anaesthetic cream can be used if needed.
Mr McGaw, of Paisley, Renfrewshire, said: "Glasgow is a city of culture and fashion - and many people are increasingly style-conscious. While looking good is high on people's agenda, feeling self-assured is equally important. There is a massive number of guys who just don't know this treatment exists."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
