While surgical hair restoration is an excellent option for some patients, it’s not ideal for everyone. Some patients don’t feel ready for surgery and would prefer a non-invasive procedure.

This innovative procedure helps create the appearance of natural hair for men and women who are noticing visible scalp due to hair loss. It can also restore shape to a hairline that has receded and help conceal alopecia or scars on the scalp.

What is Scalp Micropigmentation?
Scalp micropigmentation sometimes referred to as a hair tattoo) can replicate the appearance of hair by embedding pigment into the scalp. The needles used for this procedure are much more delicate than those used for a traditional tattoo, so the results are exact and realistic. Before treatment, the scalp is anesthetized. Thousands of dots or brush strokes are then applied to blend with the patient’s natural hair and growth pattern. This step is completely customized to the patient’s preferences.
When treating male patients, the aesthetic specialist will typically make dot-like impressions to create the appearance of a full head of shaved hair. Other techniques include adding brush strokes to fill in a thinning hairline. This procedure can also be used to reduce the appearance of visible scalp for women who are experiencing hair loss.
The entire procedure takes a few hours to perform, and patients can immediately resume their regular daily activities after.
