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?

Answer: Hair Transplant After Scalp Micropigmentation This is a great question. Hair transplantation can certainly be done following a Scalp Micropigmentation. At my clinic, we regularly perform these types of procedures. As an example repair of unwanted SMP ink can be achieved by concealing it with hair transplant grafts. I do not recommend using pigment to advance the hairline and temples. The contrast between the inked surfaces and the areas of hair will look very obvious to others. We’ve had repair patients who have deeply regretted doing this. Use of scalp micropigmentation will not be detrimental for hair graft follicles. And to answer your other question, lasering off the pigmentation will not be an issue for a future hair transplant procedure. Longevity of transferred follicles primarily depend on their selection and handling of the grafts.

Answer: Hair after tattoo Yes, you could. Be careful of micropigmentation because the "dots" often get bigger over time and look artificial. Lasering them off is easier said then done. It is unlikely that you would be happy with a lasered-off result since lasers will not remove all of the pigment.
