Hair loss is a problem that most people face. Today, there are many treatment options to solve this problem.
One of the hair loss treatments is scalp micropigmentation. So, what is scalp micropigmentation? Who is it suitable for? Is it a safe method? Let’s find out together.
What is scalp micropigmentation?
Scalp micropigmentation is a type of hair treatment that involves injecting tiny coloured pigments into the scalp using a fine needle.
Scalp micropigmentation is preferred by men and women who want to combat the effects of hair loss and achieve a shaved head appearance.
Hair transplantation and scalp micropigmentation can be used in combination to increase hair density.
Is scalp micropigmentation safe?
Micropigmentation of the scalp is preferable to deep incisions because only small injections are made into the epidermal layer. For this reason, this procedure is often characterised as a non-invasive procedure and is widely considered safe.
Scalp micropigmentation does not damage your existing hair follicles and does not cause additional hair loss.
If you are considering this procedure, there are some important points to consider. Prior to scalp micropigmentation, substances that can stimulate the central nervous system should be avoided. This includes beverages such as coffee, energy drinks and tea. It is also recommended to avoid alcohol and certain anti-inflammatory drugs such as blood thinners.
Patients should also avoid skin peeling and similar intensive cosmetic treatments prior to scalp micropigmentation.
What are the benefits of scalp micropigmentation?
Scalp micropigmentation is a widely preferred procedure among men and women worldwide and has many advantages.
Some of the benefits of scalp micropigmentation are as follows:
- It is a non-surgical method.
- It is more economical than hair transplantation.
- It is less painful than other procedures.
- It requires a shorter recovery time compared to other hair loss treatments.
Everyone can benefit from scalp pigmentation, but it is especially useful for men who are experiencing extreme hair loss, dealing with complete baldness and are not suitable for surgery.
This method not only provides the appearance of natural short-cropped hair, but can also be an effective option for men who want to correct the hairline and visually add fullness.
How long does scalp micropigmentation last?
Scalp micropigmentation can be effective for six years or more, depending on the duration of the treatment, your body’s response to the treatment and how you care for it afterwards.
Although it is a permanent treatment, scalp pigmentation may begin to fade after 4-6 years. If the micropigmentation begins to lighten, it may be beneficial to have a touch-up to maintain a natural appearance.
For best results, scalp micropigmentation is usually performed in 2-3 sessions at 10-14 day intervals, with the specialist determining the correct density and fullness.
Is hair transplantation possible after scalp micropigmentation?
Hair transplantation is entirely possible after scalp micropigmentation.
Some people may want to add something extra after scalp micropigmentation, while others may resort to hair transplantation just to hide their procedure. Hair transplantation can help to cover scars and restore the natural appearance of the scalp.
Hair transplantation can be performed after scalp micropigmentation, but it is generally recommended to wait at least six months after surgery to allow the scalp to fully heal.
