Most people see hair loss, thinning hair, and baldness as male issues, but up to 40% of people with hair loss in America are women. The past few years have seen increased interest in hair loss treatment from women, and micropigmentation is the choice remedy. Here’s an overview of micropigmentation for women and why it’s becoming increasingly popular.
What is Scalp Micropigmentation for Women?
Scalp micropigmentation refers to a unique procedure involving adding pigments to the skin layer under the scalp. The process conceals bald spots and thinning hair, creating an appearance of full hair difficult to distinguish from natural hair. Practitioners start by assessing the client’s scalp to identify areas requiring pigments without compromising existing locks.
Scalp micro-pigments, scalp tattoos, or cosmetic pigmentation may require 2 to 3 procedures to produce the best results. The procedures are 10 to 14 days apart, depending on the client’s healing process. Most clients of cosmetic pigmentation are men, but women can also benefit. Practitioners also have unique approaches for different female baldness patterns.
Why is Micropigmentation Becoming Popular?
Cosmetic scalp pigmentation has become a popular treatment for hair loss and scar camouflage among men and women. Most clients prefer the option because it is more like getting a tattoo and doesn’t involve any surgery. Here are five other reasons why scalp tattooing for women is becoming the ideal treatment:
1. Minimal Pain and Discomfort
Adding pigments to the scalp is an artistic tattooing process with minimal pain and discomfort compared to hair transplants and other surgical treatments.
2. Instant High-Class Results
Micro-pigments offer instant aesthetics, so the client can walk away with a perfectly-looking hair appearance after the first procedure. You can also go back to normal activities shortly after cosmetic scalp pigmentation with some minor changes. The outcome after the last process is almost indistinguishable from natural hair appearance.
3. Low Maintenance Requirement
Hair transplants, creams, and other hair loss treatments bear high maintenance and disrupt the client’s everyday life and budget. Cosmetic pigmentation offers women a low-maintenance solution to address thinning hair without expensive treatment. The results last for four to six years, and clients can restore the appearance by getting another procedure.
4. No Adverse Side Effects
The procedures are about two weeks apart. If you follow the advice of an experienced practitioner, you can expect a painless recovery process without worrying about infections and side effects. If you are worried about an allergic reaction, we can always do a patch test prior to your treatment.
5. Suits All Skin Types
Scalp micropigmentation suits all skin and hair types and is adaptable to the client’s needs. The practitioner will attempt to match the client’s skin and hair color to provide a natural appearance. Hair tattooing is also perfect for concealing scarring and other scalp imperfections and accentuates existing follicles for a full-hair appearance.
