Hair loss or thinning is a natural phenomenon that many people experience, which can happen from hereditary factors that follow a particular pattern of baldness in both men and women. Hormonal changes, especially in women, are a significant cause of hair loss, which is evident during pregnancy and menopause.  Some underlying heart conditions like alopecia are a known cause for thinning hairline, which can also happen form certain medications or medical treatments. Hair loss after chemotherapy treatment and radiotherapy for cancer patients are very common. Some hypertension drugs, anti-depressants, and oral contraceptives can result in losing hair.

An affordable treatment

Hair loss can make people suffer from low self-esteem who feel quite helpless as they are unable to undertake costly treatments of hair replacement. Now, there is good news for them that they can undergo scalp micropigmentation, which is a more affordable hair treatment that is also very safe because it is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure like microblading.  The treatment gives patients the chance to recreate the natural appearance of hair follicles on the scalp that appear just like natural hair and gives a fuller and thicker appearance to the head.  Unlike other forms of restorative hair treatments that involve some surgical procedure, scalp micropigmentation is just like tattooing done by specialists who have undergone scalp micropigmentation training.

Risks and complications

Despite being a non-surgical procedure, you must first consider your suitability for the treatment that can be risky for some people and lead to complications. Usually, each treatment session lasts for 4-5 hours during which the specialist applies the pigments by using an electric tattoo device because it needs more power to penetrate the thicker skin of the scalp.  By using the tool, the specialist creates multiple dots of pigments that replicate natural hair follicles. Usually, patients may experience some redness in the areas where the treatment is carried out, and it can last for 2- 4 hours after the procedure is over. But if you have prior inflammation of the scalp, then you must avoid undergoing the treatment. Consider the suitability of the pigment for your skin to ensure that there is no allergic reaction to it, which can also happen from the instruments.

Treatment quality

The success of the treatment largely depends on the skill of the micropigmentation specialists, but there are some other factors too. The use of the correct equipment, micro-needles, and pigments is equally crucial because any wrong selection can impact the outcome. Look for the most experienced micropigmentation specialist who knows the job and has a proven track record. While skill is important, the experience of the specialist can make a lot of difference in the result.

The initial consultation with the specialist plays a role in setting the right expectations that influence the result. After evaluating your condition and understanding what you want to achieve, the specialist can tell how much would be possible. This helps to narrow the gap between your expectations and the result that gives a more satisfying experience.

All procedures are tailor-made, and the pigment matches the natural hair color precisely so that others will not be able to tell that you have undergone the procedure.
