Can a hair transplant be done after Scalp Micropigmentation?

May 20, 2015
Asked By:ProfessionalWorker44 in Saint Paul, MN

So I was wondering if I were to get Micropigmentation to lower my hairline and the sides of my head, could I get a hair transplant afterwards if I ever wanted to? Will the micro tattoo cause a problem for the hair follicles be transplanted on it? Another question is if I were to get the Micropigmentation lasered off, would that cause problems for a hair transplant?
