Have you ever met someone who said "I can’t wait to go bald…?
Me neither.
Luckily, there have been technological advances in recent years to combat the unavoidable for men and women experiencing thinning or balding hair.
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) implants long-lasting pigment into the skin of the scalp. SMP enhances the hair you already have, accentuates your features, corrects asymmetries, and can hide scars or skin imperfections.
Men and women choose micropigmentation for a variety of reasons. One of the main benefits is to create the illusion of a fuller head of hair by adding hair-like strokes and dots to the scalp. This can help reduce the appearance of balding or thinning hair and provide a more youthful appearance. Additionally, micropigmentation can camouflage scars or skin imperfections on the scalp, such as those resulting from injury. The procedure is minimally invasive and can offer long-lasting results, making it a popular choice for those looking for a cosmetic solution to hair loss. However, keep in mind that micropigmentation is a form of tattooing. It's important to find a reputable and experienced practitioner to minimize the risk of complications or unsatisfactory results.
To find a reputable micropigmentation technician, take the following steps:
Research and read reviews
Check credentials and salon hygiene practices
Look for “before and after” portfolios
Ask for recommendations
Schedule a consultation
The last point is very important. Always schedule a consultation before your session to discuss your needs and concerns. Get a feel for the technician’s professionalism, communication skills, and knowledge. Remember that the quality of micropigmentation can vary greatly depending on the practitioner, so it's important to do your research and choose a reputable technician to ensure the best possible results.
The Norwood Scale is a classification system used to describe the stages of male pattern baldness. It ranges from stage 1 to stage 7. This scale was created to determine the severity of hair loss and help guide treatment options and decisions. The Norwood scale consists of 7 stages of male pattern baldness. Here is a brief description of each stage:

Minimal hair loss: No noticeable hair loss, the hairline is unchanged
Mild hair loss: The hairline begins to recede slightly, but a full head of hair remains
Early hairline recession: Some temple thinning, hairline recedes further
Established hairline recession: Hairline continues to recede, significant thinning at temples and crown
Moderate hair loss: The hairline recedes further. Significant temple, crown and mid-scalp thinning are visible
Severe hair loss: Even further receding hairline, extreme thinning throughout the scalp, including mid-scalp, temples and crown
Complete baldness: No hair remains on the scalp
It's important to note that the Norwood scale is just one way to classify hair loss. Everyone will experience hair thinning and pattern baldness differently.
