Scalp Micropigmentation FAQs
Scalp micropigmentation is a cosmetic procedure that involves tattooing tiny pigment deposits on the scalp to mimic the appearance of natural hair follicles. Also known as hair tattoos, scalp micropigmentation creates the illusion of a shaved or closely-cropped hairstyle, providing a solution for hair loss or thinning. The process involves using specialized microneedles and pigments that match your natural hair color.
Scalp micropigmentation can provide you with a fuller-looking head of hair, while also hiding any scars or alopecia patches. Individuals with thinning hair, receding hairlines, or those seeking to add density to their existing hair will benefit most from scalp micropigmentation.
It varies depending on your pain tolerance, but for most people scalp micropigmentation isn't very painful. Artists will apply topical anesthetics to numb your scalp during the procedure. You might experience mild discomfort or sensitivity during and right after the session. The recovery time is about one week, after which your scalp should be fully healed.
Depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure, scalp micropigmentation can last several years before requiring a touch-up. In the week following your treatment, you should:
- Keep your scalp dry in the first five days following your treatment, and avoid saunas, steam rooms, or anything that causes excessive sweating.
- Avoid shampooing, washing, or scrubbing your scalp.
- Avoid picking at your scalp, and reduce your sun exposure as much as possible.
Be sure to ask for your artist's guidance on an aftercare routine that suits your skin and lifestyle.
Scalp micropigmentation is safe when performed by a trained professional. But as with any skin procedure, there can be risks of infection, allergic reactions, or undesired results if it's performed by an inexperienced or unqualified practitioner. Make sure to choose a reputable, skilled artist and let them know about any allergies or skin sensitivities you have to minimise potential risks.
When choosing a scalp micropigmentation artist, consider their experience, qualifications. Look through their portfolio of previous work to see if it matches the results you want. Read reviews and testimonials from their clients, and make sure they keep to strict hygiene standards. Speak with the artist ahead of time to ask questions and discuss your goals.
