What is Scalp Micropigmentation?

Scalp Micropigmentation is quickly becoming one of the fastest-growing hair loss solutions ever. While the treatment doesn't actually stop hair loss or result in new hair growth, it has proven to be an effective way to deal with hair loss and restore confidence.

Scalp Micropigmentation is a non-surgical procedure that involves the use of detailed micro-needles to deposit natural pigments into your scalp. The process replicates natural growing hair's appearance by creating highly detailed, natural-looking hair follicles and shading. Scalp Micropigmentation can make your existing head of hair look thicker and fuller while hiding any bald patches or thinning areas. If you are in the early stages of hair loss, starting to thin, noticing a receding hairline, or completely bald, Scalp Micropigmentation can be a solution for you.

Is Scalp Micropigmentation A Tattoo?

While Scalp Micropigmentation is sometimes referred to as a scalp tattoo, and the processes are performed similarly, there are several differences between the two. While both processes use needles to deposit ink into the skin, the needles used for Scalp Micropigmentation are thinner and more delicate than those used with conventional tattoos. Scalp Micropigmentation also uses a machine that is designed explicitly for this procedure.

Scalp Micropigmentation uses a technique known as pointillism, which is the use of thousands of extremely tiny dots to create a shape, image, or shade. Pointillism is an ideal technique to use for Scalp Micropigmentation because the natural hair shading effect it creates is indistinguishable from natural hair follicles at a distance. When performed by a trained and licensed specialist, Scalp Micropigmentation treatment can create the look of close-cropped hair, thickening remaining hair, restoring receding hairlines, and camouflaging scarring.

Is Scalp Micropigmentation Permanent?

Scalp Micropigmentation is considered a type of permanent cosmetic procedure, similar to permanent makeup or micro-blading. While the procedure is permanent, there are a variety of factors that may cause the ink to fade, requiring you to get a touch up every few years.

Procedures typically last from three to seven years, depending on your lifestyle. One of the most critical factors that will cause your procedure to fade is exposure to the sun and UV rays. The more time you spend in the sun with your head exposed, the faster the treatment will fade.

Other factors that may affect how long your procedure lasts include your unique immune system, the type of pigment used, and the quality of the equipment used. One of the most critical factors that determine how long your procedure lasts before needing a touch-up, and your overall satisfaction, is the skill and expertise of the specialist performing the treatment. A well-trained specialist can change the shape of your hairline, side profiles, or create a new look that lasts for years without fading.
