Will Scalp Micropigmentation Fix My Thinning Hair?

For centuries, the presence of a balding head has always been included as the defining feature of the people who carry them. The societal effects of balding have changed over the years, but the ridicule and the reduced self-esteem as a result of balding have remained.

The problem has been an issue for so long that the Bible even records the prophet Elisha getting ridicule from some young lads who made fun of his bald head. In true Bible fashion, he cursed the children back and they were mauled by two bears.

You may be in a similar situation where if you had the power, you could make your hair grow back. However, since you can’t, you are left looking for solutions to getting back the confidence that a full head of hair gave you.

Scalp micropigmentation is one of those methods that you are leaning towards. What you are not sure of, is whether it will work for you.

 

What is Scalp Micropigmentation

 

Balding can wreak havoc on the self-esteem of the person who is experiencing it. The causes are usually aplenty, ranging from genetics to the current health situation the person is experiencing. Whatever the case may be, the results most obvious are not something that anyone would love to experience.

Enter scalp micropigmentation.

Here is a process that is meant to create the illusion that you do have hair, they have just had the unfortunate fortune of meeting with a hair clipper. Yes, the scalp micropigmentation process makes your head look like you still have hair.

How?

The process is quite similar to tattooing. However, there are marked differences as to how it is done. For one, the tools that are used in the procedures are slightly different. A tattoo aims to deposit ink beneath more than five layers of skin. Scalp micropigmentation on the other hand, only deposits the pigment two layers deep.

It is this difference that creates the visual difference between the tattoo and the scalp micropigmentation. A tattoo will look blotchy under the skin. The purpose of scalp micropigmentation is to create the illusion that there are hair follicles under the skin. It is for this reason why the pigment is placed so close to the surface of the skin.

The Types of Hairlines That Can Be Fixed By Scalp Micropigmentation

 

Not everyone will experience the same type of hair loss. Those that may be experiencing hair loss as a result of genetics will also not have the same type of hair loss. Also, there are others who may be experiencing hair loss as a result of stressful situations in their lives, or even for health reasons.

Regardless as to the cause of the hair loss, you will find that scalp micropigmentation can conceal a variety of situations, and also fix the hairline. Here are the hairlines that will benefit most from this procedure.

 

A Receding Hairline.

 

The quintessential sign that your hair is giving up on you. A receding hairline doesn’t just happen overnight. It is a process that can take years to get you to sit up and take action. However, by the time most people realize they have a receding hairline, it may be too late.

A receding hairline has no timeline for when it will begin. Some men may develop it in their late teens or early 20’s, others won’t have to think about it until they are past 60 years. Whatever the age it begins, it doesn’t mean you will lose all your hair immediately.

With scalp micropigmentation, the focus of restoring the hairline with this type of loss is to redefine the hairline. The treatment will help your hair look like it is fuller and thicker, and also help redefine the crown of the head.

 

Bald Patches.

 

Depending on the cause, you may one day just realize the hair that fell out on a certain portion of your head is not growing back. This results in a bald patch that sticks out terribly against your hair, and can be a great cause of concern.

When you want to have the treatment done, you will not have to shave your hair to help you. All that is needed is for the bald patch to be hidden by the scalp pigmentation. And that’s exactly where the process will focus on.

 

Thinning Hair.

 

One of those things that may indicate a variety of different conditions. While thinning hair is most often taken to be a sign of balding, which it is, that is not always the case. The stress you are currently facing in your life, your age, health conditions among others can cause your hair to thin out.

Thin hair can be terrible to look at, and terrible for your self-esteem. Scalp micropigmentation will be your best bet, and the most affordable one to remedy the situation. The procedure will ensure you have the illusion of a thicker and lustrous head of hair that adds to your appeal.
