When it comes to thinking about hair loss solutions, a hair tattoo may not come to mind right away. But in reality, scalp micropigmentation is one of the safest and most effective hair treatments available today. If you have questions about scalp micropigmentation, you’re not alone. So let’s take a look at a few frequently asked questions about this hair loss treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is scalp micropigmentation?
Scalp micropigmentation is essentially a hair tattoo that mimics a hair follicle, giving the appearance of a full head of hair. Using hair-color pigment, we use a needle to inject the pigment into the areas of the head affected by hair loss. Unlike other hair restoration methods, scalp micropigmentation is non-invasive, quick, and shows immediate results.
How many treatment sessions are needed?
Generally, patients will require two or four sessions of scalp micropigmentation to receive the results they desire. Each session generally lasts between two and four hours, depending on the area being covered. In between sessions, patients have to wait at least 10 days before having another session. The great thing about this treatment option is that this isn’t a process that takes years to see results. Patients begin to see results immediately after the first session.
Is the procedure painful?
Most people who undergo scalp micropigmentation report minimal pain. While like with traditional tattoo, we use needles to inject the pigment into the scalp, however hair tattoos are much less painful than traditional tattoos since the needles are much smaller and we don’t go as deep into the epidermis. Unlike some other hair restoration procedures, patients won’t feel pain after scalp micropigmentation. Some soreness is to be expected, but the pain of this procedure is very little.
What is the healing process like?
After the procedure patients will experience redness for a few hours, but the healing process overall is very minimal. If patients follow the care instructions following the procedure, they will heal as quickly as their body lets them. Patients can go about their normal routines the day after the procedure with no problem.

Hi, The top of my hair is bald, but the sides keep growing. If the sides are shaved and micro-pigmentation is done, the question is … will the side hairs continue to grow back, or the micro-pigmentation blocks any future hair growth? Thanks. -Sam
