Hair Follicle Replication

What Does a Hair Follicle Replication Treatment Consist of?

Prior to your first treatment with Adam and Eve Medical Aesthetics 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 hair follicle replication. 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, 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 a high quality sunscreen to protect your scalp and the pigmentation.
