Asked By:tryingtosurvive in Atlanta, GA

Hi I wanted to know if I am eligible for scalp micro pigmentation to help hide my many bald spots. I naturally have thin fine hair but my hair loss has made my situation worse. I was diagnosed with traction Alopecia in 2013 and the dermatologist gave my medicines and cremes but nothing worked. In 2016 I was diagnosed with CCCA and I was losing hair in the middle of my head so I started treatment. My hair loss was increasing and causing extreme pains so I stopped treatment after a yr. Please help

Answer: Scalp MicroPigmentation is not a substitute for hair as it is in essence a tattoo.
