Unnecessary medicine use should be avoided.

How is hair micropigmentation after general hair loss is done?
Hair micropigmentation is a non-surgical application that is used to simulate the look of hair on the scalp. This application is commonly preferred by people suffering from general hair loss too. Because the area that needs to be covered in general hair loss cases is much larger, usually 4-5 sessions that each take up to 5 hours. After the completion of these sessions, a check-up session is planned 20-30 days later to assess the results and make minor corrections if needed. Hair micropigmentation can be done before or after hair transplantation too. Lifetime of hair micropigmentation is 3-5 years and inks are extracted from the body naturally after this period. Inks and techniques used in the application affect the lifetime of hair micropigmentation, as well as aftercare.
