Scalp Micropigmentation: An Innovative Solution For Hairloss

Abstract

Scalp Micropigmentation is a medical, non-surgical, cosmetic tattoo that gives an illusion of a close buzz cut hairstyle on a bald head or adds density to a thinning hair. The procedure can also be used to conceal scars from hair transplantation, hide the visual impact of burns or to treat hair loss through skin conditions such as Alopecia. The technique called scalp micropigmentation uses specialized techniques and conventional cosmetic tattoo instruments and pigments in a stippling pattern on the scalp. A special designed needle is used to gently inject natural pigment into the skin layer to replicate each hair follicle. To apply the treatment, the correct needle group is choosed. Then the bioresorbable pigment color is used which will blend well with the patient’s scalp or existing hair. The utility of SMP is to act as a permanent concealer in such a way that the targeted artistic effect is similar to the visual effect of a stippled painting as dots are created between the pores of a balding scalp. A scalp micropigmentation treatment requires 2 to 3 outpatient sessions that are spaced a week apart. Each session takes a couple of hours depending on the size of the treatment area. A variety of alopecias, refractory to treatment and hair transplant deformities, impact millions of men and women. Many of these deformities can be concealed with scalp micropigmentation, making the deformities minimally detectable. It is a great therapeutic option for both male and female patients with AGA, post-transplant scars, post hair transplant to further augment results, and cicatricial alopecia (discoid lupus erythematosus, lichen planopilaris, folliculitis decalvans, inflammatory tinea capitis, dissecting cellulitis, central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, acne keloidalis nuchae, keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans). Unlike medical devices, scalp micropigmentation offers a tattoo-based, non-medical “cover-up” that effectively hides unsightly conditions on the scalp and creates the illusion of thicker hair.
