What is scalp pigmentation?

Sometimes, the lack of volume of hair on the head makes the skin of the scalp visible and reduces the beauty of the hair. The empty areas between the head hairs can be removed by methods such as hair transplant. But hair transplant is an invasive technique and many people are not able or willing to do it. Scalp pigmentation is a good alternative to a hair transplant. This technique can be implemented simply, with minimal hassle, and at an affordable cost.

How is scalp pigmentation done?

Scalp pigmentation is as useful as facial and body tattoos. However, in the implementation of this technique, more advanced and different equipment and skills are used. In the process of performing scalp pigmentation, special pigments are injected by disposable needles to a depth of 2 mm and the dermis layer of the scalp. This injection is done by a micropigmentation machine.

The reason for choosing scalp

With scalp pigmentation, the entire scalp can be covered with hair so that no one will be able to recognize the treatment after cutting and arranging the hair.

The appearance of scalp  is so natural that no one will notice its secret. There are many reasons to choose this method and hair loss treatment. In the conventional hair transplant method known as FUE, the hair will lose its maximum density within the first few months, so it may take years for the patient to achieve the desired result. Hair density is increased in the scalp hair removal method and most patients will see positive results after a short period.
