There is a second way to make thinning hair, scars and localized hair loss appear fuller again. Micropigmentation, also known as hair pigmentation or microblading, is a 3D (three-dimensional) shading technique to thicken the gaps between hairs. This process is also known as hair tattooing and hair simulation.

It helps to make the hair look thick and dense. The aim is to achieve a hair effect in sparse areas. This procedure can be used either alone or after a hair transplant. The system, also known as hair simulation, is similar to tattooing or permanent make-up. Color pigments that match your hair color are placed 0.5 to 1.3 millimeters under the skin.

The result is indistinguishable from the natural appearance of the hair. This hypoallergenic method is not a surgical procedure, but a cosmetic one. The main difference to conventional tattoos is that the color pigments used here are not permanent and can be broken down by the body. The pigment is completely natural. Therefore, the appearance of a bluish color change, similar to ordinary tattoos, is impossible. Although it is called a hair tattoo, it is not done with tattooing techniques, which ensures that the pigment does not melt over time.

Over time, the color does not change; it is absorbed by the body and disappears. The lifespan of hair pigmentation varies depending on the skin type and is usually 3-4 years. It is a method that leaves no traces on the skin. It does not cause hair loss in transplanted hair after a hair transplant, and an additional hair transplant can be performed on the skin later. The procedure is performed under hospital conditions with local anesthesia in the area, takes between 3 and 5 hours and is suitable for people with a hair length of 1 cm or less.

Who can have it done?

Those who do not wish to have additional sessions after a hair transplant. People for whom hair transplantation is not possible due to insufficient donor area. To cover small scars. To cover scars from previous FUT procedures. In areas with gaps due to alopecia areata. Those who want a thicker appearance after a previous hair transplant. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia in hospital conditions, takes between 3 and 5 hours and can be performed on people with a hair length of 1 cm or less.
