what is untold about?
Enrique visited us last March. A few years ago he had micropigmentation applied. The color pigments drawn onto his scalp were discolored and his baldness pattern changed. This was a catastrophe for his appearance and self-esteem. Living under constant prying eyes and taunts of other people got him frustrated.
We already help others facing similar challenges. Victims of scalp micropigmentation bad practices or its unfortunate long-term consequences. There are cosmetic-related decisions that have irreversible consequences like those experienced by Enrique.
We are not against micropigmentation or any other hair loss treatment. However, sharing Enrique’s story may help others to make informed decisions. Especially when there’s so much misinformation about this topic or we don’t get to talk often about it.
What is scalp micropigmentation?
It all started in Spain back in 1986 as a permanent makeup solution, according to Asociación Española de Micropimentación y Microblading (AEM). By 2011, the tattoo technique started being used as a reinforcement to bald zones or camouflage hair transplant scars, according to AEM. That’s why is commonly known as scalp micropigmentation.
These tattoos are made of pigment impressions to mimic hair follicles in the most realistic way possible, according to Hair Restoring Foundation.
Scalp and baldness patterns
There are different phases and causes of hair thinning or loss (see Hair Loss 101). As trichologists, we can estimate a baldness pattern but no one can accurately predict how worst it can get.
Hair loss remedies such as scalp micropigmentation do not solely depend on how the skin settles color pigments. They also depend on baldness pattern changes. Enrique is a clear example of what happens when there’s a fail in both of these scenarios.
Hair replacement to the rescue
Scalp micropigmentation is permanent. Retouching or tattoo removal may help if the pigments discolor or the baldness pattern changes. On the other hand, hair replacements are a less invasive, reversible, and a most affordable solution.
Hair replacement skin base can be modified upon baldness pattern evolution with no drastic changes in treatment and its costs. It all begins with a capillary evaluation to identify your specific needs and treatment costs.
