Question

Is scalp micropigmentation safe? Is there any specific way of application? Any major side effects? What if person completEly goes bald will it be visible? Is it fine for a person with hair transplant to get it done?

chillpill898,Thanks for the question. We use 100% organic inks from BeautyMedical. It is completely safe. Advance stage male pattern men can have a trico-pigmenatation procedure to create a" buzz" look. It is fine to use in hair transplant recipients. It can increase "density" in thinning areas. Hope this helps.Sincerely,Bernardino Arocha, MD

Scalp Micropigmentation SMP does not affect transplanted hair or harm existing hairs.  It is considered safe as long as it is done properly at a medical facility.

William Yates, MD · Answer

Scalp Micropigmentation is a very safe procedure. With Scalp Micro Pigmentation treatment, pigment is used on the scalp to create the appearance of real hair follicles recreating hairlines, adding the appearance of density to thinning areas and covering unsightly scars.

You might also want to consider a Hair transplant to add density and attack hair loss adding PRP or medication.

PRP consists on getting some of your blood and putting it in a machine that will separate the different ingredients that are in the blood. From those ingredients we take the growth factors and inject them in your scalp. These growth factors will start working in your follicles enhancing your hair and reducing (and even stopping) the rate of your hair loss.Best of lucks and I hope you find this useful.
