Scalp Micropigmentation

What Should I Expect after Scalp Micropigmentation?

Micro scalp pigmentation and hair follicle replication is a highly effective way to reduce the appearance of bald spots, thinning hair, and other scalp or hairline concerns. Many scalp pigmentation clients in Scottsdale realize remarkable results shortly after just one treatment. However, sometimes subsequent treatments are necessary to achieve optimal results. This will be discussed with you when developing your treatment plan. Our aim is always to meet or exceed your expectations, and the procedures we use are chosen because of the exceptional results they offer.

What Does a Scalp Micropigmentation Treatment Consist of?

Prior to your first scalp micropigmentation treatment in Scottsdale, Kim Kohli will meet with you to obtain a full health history, analyze your scalp and determine if you are a good candidate for the scalp pigmentation process. Then, she will work with you to develop a treatment plan with your needs and goals in mind.

Scalp pigmentation sessions typically take about 3 to 4 hours the first time. Many clients achieve the results they are searching for in one session. However, some require 2 or 3. Any necessary subsequent sessions typically take less time, often 2 to 3 hours. The pigment is injected using a specialized rotary machine with tiny needles that are much smaller than those used by other medical aesthetics professionals. Because of the small size of the needles, the application of the pigment is deep and permanent. The needle size also helps to better control any pigmentation bleeding outside of the treatment area, making the appearance much more realistic. Discomfort is typically minimal, however, if you have a low tolerance for pain, discuss your concerns prior to your first treatment. In some cases, your primary care physician can prescribe medication to help keep you comfortable during the procedure.

After your procedure, some redness is common. This will usually subside within the first day after treatment. Avoid sweating, showers or washing the scalp for four days after treatment. Shaving should also be avoided for at least four days. Avoid direct sun exposure for at least a week after treatment. Once you resume regular sun exposure, be sure to use high-quality sunscreen to protect your scalp and the pigment.
