Scalp micro pigmentation is, in essence, a hair tattoo. Ink is injected into the skin with ultra-fine needles to produce the look of very short hair. Micropigmentation is applied in areas of the scalp where there is thinning or absence of hair. This process gives the impression of authentic hair in hair loss cases without the need for invasive surgery. The ink solution is matched to the hair color and skin tone for a natural appearance. Men and women with varying degrees of hair thinning can benefit from this treatment. Recovery time is minimal, and the results are permanent.
The cost of scalp micropigmentation varies depending on the skin's condition, desired results for treatment, quality of the treatment center, the experience of the practitioner performing treatment, additional travel assistance, and costs of any further necessary procedures.
After a micropigmentation session, the scalp will likely be red, swollen, and itchy. Additionally, there may be some mild bleeding, and some soreness may occur. Applying a soothing cream should ease the symptoms. Hats may be worn to protect the skin but should be removed periodically to allow the skin to breathe.Swelling should resolve over the next few days, and pigment should become more prominent. Scabs should heal during this time, and itchiness should diminish as well. By the end of the first week, symptoms should have dwindled, and any new hair that has grown should be gently shaved off. In approximately a month, the skin will smooth out, and the pigmentation will settle.

Hair Transplant Surgery
Hair transplant surgery, or hair plugs, is a procedure performed by a plastic surgeon who moves hair from one part of the head to another area to foster growth in a balding section of the head. Hair transplant surgery is common among men experiencing male pattern baldness. Women tend to choose hair transplant surgery when hair severely thins out. New hair growth usually occurs within one year.
Hair Systems
Hair systems, more commonly known as hairpieces, include such items as wigs and toupees. For women, wigs, styled hair attachments, and extensions are pretty common. They are held in place with clips, tapes, or glues. Men tend to opt for wigs, toupees, and microfilament hair systems. These are quick and easy to use and offer adaptability.
Temporary Concealers
Temporary concealers are cosmetic powders, creams, and solutions that are designed to cover up baldness. Concealers are the least expensive and least intrusive way to hide balding areas of the scalp. Concealing products blend into graying hair, achieving the desired look. Some concealers contain components resistant to rain, wind, and perspiration. Others incorporate Keratin to generate an appearance of fullness.
Topical Treatments
Topical solutions such as Rogaine and Propecia are popular at-home balding treatments. These solutions are applied to the scalp to hinder balding and promote hair growth. Both men and women have used these products to regrow hair- it can take up to three months to see an appearance of hair. Viviscal is said to promote hair growth by nourishing the follicles. It can help those who are experiencing baldness feel less self-conscious and more confident.
