All of us are familiar with the basics and concepts of tattoos.
People in the field of dermatology and aesthetics started using the same technique to re-create sparse eyebrows to full-looking eyebrows and even in patients with vitiligo to give a colour match to the affected skin.
Micropigmentation gives a near-normal look and stands as a good treatment option in patients unwilling for surgeries or transplants.
What is micropigmentation?
As the name suggests, it involves depositing pigments in the upper layers of the dermis using a hand held device that consists of tiny needles.It works on the principle that the pigments deposited gives an illusion of hair.
A single session lasts around 2-3 years after which a top-up session will be required. Of late this technique is used on the scalp to create an “au-naturale” look for people suffering from pattern hair loss or in medical terms androgenetic alopecia.
So for people where other treatment modalities don’t work or in people who do not want other treatments due to various reasons , scalp micropigmentation offers a new perspective.
