Hair micropigmentation is an application that uses specially made inks and needles to simulate the look of hair on the scalp. Hair micropigmentation is not toupee, hair transplantation or tatoo. But it can be said that hair transplantation and micropigmentation are complementary. There are no downsides to getting hair micropigmentation before or after hair transplantation. In order to achieve color uniformity between hair and micropigmentation, it şs recommended to keep the hair short. Also, if desired density of hair couldn’t be achieved with hair transplantation due to donor area restrictions, hair micropigmentation can be a good solution to get better results. In addition to these, if a person has scar or burn marks on their scalp, or have lost hair due to alopecia, hair micropigmentation can be done to cover these areas. Before getting hair micropigmentation done, equipment and inks used in the application, as well as experts doing it should be researched. Otherwise, results might not be satisfactory as well as having other health problems due to the application. These are the things that should be kept in mind while researching:
Hair Micropigmentation Ink: Inks used in this application are specially made for it. Hair micropigmentation ink and hair tattoo ink are different types. If ink used in the application is hair tattoo ink, there will be color changes in time due to external factors. Hair micropigmentation ink will be extracted from the body naturally in 3-5 years. Because there will be no color changes in this time period, there won’t be any unappealing looks. If a place promises permanent hair micropigmentation, they should be avoided because real hair micropigmentation ink will be extracted naturally in 3-5 years.
Hair Micropigmentation Needles: Needles used in hair micropigmentation should be sterile and single use only. Otherwise, infections might occur.
Hair Micropigmentation Machine: Machine used in this application should be checked periodically. Otherwise in addition to infections, burning might occur due to faulty machinery.
Hair Micropigmentation Expert: Experts doing the application should be experienced and have appropriate practices needed for hair micropigmentation. Experienced experts can correctly identify the hair structure and angles to simulate.
Hair micropigmentation is a non-surgical application, so there is no need for anesthesia but anesthetic creams are used to ease the pain caused by needles used in the application. These creams should be researched too before the application.
Amount of sessions and the length of sessions for hair micropigmentation depends on the area that needs to be covered. For small areas as little as 30 minutes can be enough while larger areas can take 2-4 sessions and up to 5 hours per session to cover. After the completion of the sessions a check-up appointment should be made for 20-30 days to see the results and make small adjustments if needed. Aftercare should be taken seriously to improve the quality and lifetime of the application results.
