Scalp micropigmentation is a cosmetic procedure that makes your hair look fuller. It’s also sometimes called a “hair tattoo.” During scalp micropigmentation, a provider uses a thin needle to deposit tiny dots of color on the scalp. This procedure covers bald spots or thinning hair, but it doesn’t treat hair loss itself. 

Scalp micropigmentation is a way to conceal thin hair and bald spots permanently. The procedure doesn’t require surgery or anesthesia, so you can quickly get back to your normal routine. There aren’t many side effects to the tattooing process, but minor redness may last several hours.   

Compared to hair transplant surgery, scalp micropigmentation is less invasive because it requires no surgery or incisions. It’s also less painful, costs less, and doesn’t require any downtime. 

Hair loss is frequently progressive, meaning that it worsens over time. Millions of people are affected by conditions that cause hair loss, such as: 

Alopecia areata. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that causes hair loss. In autoimmune diseases, the body attacks itself. In the case of alopecia areata, the body attacks hair follicles, resulting in unpredictable hair loss. For some people, the follicles heal and hair grows back, while for others, hair loss is permanent.

Chemotherapy-related hair loss. Chemotherapy attacks rapidly growing cancer cells in the body. It also attacks other types of rapidly growing cells such as those in your hair roots. Not all types of chemotherapy cause hair loss, and the hair loss from chemotherapy is usually temporary.

Female pattern hair loss. While most people think of hair loss as primarily affecting men, over 50% of women also experience hair loss. Any woman can experience female pattern hair loss, but it’s most common in women who are over 40, those who are going through menopause, and those with a family history of female pattern hair loss. 

Male pattern hair loss. Male pattern hair loss is the most common cause of hair loss in men. More than half of white men show some signs of male pattern hair loss, such as thinning hair, baldness, or a receding hairline.

Scars or birthmarks on the scalp. Scars or birthmarks on the scalp can show through the hair. Scalp micropigmentation can cover these marks. 

Scalp micoropigmentation does have some risks. The biggest risks are associated with using an unlicensed or inexperienced provider. These risks include: 

• Allergic reaction to the pigments used 
• Unnatural appearance 
• Infection from needles that aren’t properly cleaned between sessions 

You can reduce these risks by taking the following precautions: 

• Only use a licensed provider who is experienced in scalp micropigmentation
• Ask to see examples of the provider’s work
• Discuss all of your allergies with your provider before your treatment 
• Avoid scalp micropigmentation if you’re prone to forming keloids (large scars)
