Coincidentally, many Minoxidil users began to rapidly age shortly after beginning this treatment. Users have reported deep wrinkles under their eyes, and generally over their entire faces. Many think that because Minoxidil is not applied to the face it shouldn’t have an effect. Let those who have used it be the judge. Minoxidil has been described as a catch 22 as far as treatment options go.

There is an ever-growing list of patients who were negatively affected by this drug. Finasteride has been the cause of many men’s genital shrinkage and total loss of desire.

3. Finasteride: Gynecomastia

Some users of Finasteride reported unusual swelling of the breast tissue. Although for some the swelling did reduce over time, for others the effects have been permanent.

The Disadvantages of Scalp Micropigmentation

Every hair loss remedy seeks to address the balding condition. These can be sufficient to a certain degree though some may not even be useful at all. There are also those that can be highly effective but can leave side effects. It may even last long after the treatment is discontinued. Almost every product or service has its own pros and cons.

The important thing however is that the advantages must always outweigh the flaws. before-after-gallery-client4 Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a well-known permanent concealer for hair loss because of its sheer effectiveness and immediate results. It is able to create the semblance of hair and is applicable for almost every balding condition. SMP can even work with a patient’s existing hair, making it look more dense and full. It only requires proper maintenance that is accomplished by simply keeping the scalp clean and moisturised.

Occasional shaving of any existing hair is an additional task that is completed with minimal effort through the use of an electric razor, or a wet shaving routine. It is difficult to pinpoint with absolute objectivity the disadvantages of an SMP treatment. There is hardly anything that could be classified as such. Any defects in this procedure are more likely to fall under a matter of opinion than of fact. SMP is a permanent procedure. Once it is applied, it stays that way unless the patient elects to change the hair pattern. Some may view this as a disadvantage because of the need to undergo a laser removal process before it may be taken out. SMP’s permanence however is also one of its strengths because it dispenses with the need to constantly worry about how the scalp looks like. The design can also become outdated after the passage of time.

An aggressive looking style might look good on a younger man but may look misplaced on someone in his sixties. Even a softer hairline might not be viewed with as much exuberance on older men. Again this could simply be a matter of preference. It really depends on how the man carries his SMP and it should always be done with confidence. There are some people that are apprehensive about the two-dimensional aspect of scalp micropigmentation. It is after all a collection of carefully placed pigments injected underneath the skin. The treatment does not include any kind of texture enhancement upon the scalp. As a result, anyone that would actually run their hand through an SMP procedure will be mildly surprised at how much it feels like bare skin because it is actually just that. Expectations should probably be tempered at this point because it really would not be fair to expect a three-dimensional outcome from pigments. This method is relatively new to the hair loss industry, in fact it has only been around for about twelve years. There are still more things to discover and improve upon because of its relatively novel approach to treating hair loss.

 

SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION

There is no shortage of products and medical treatments out there to help balding men try to recover some of their lost hair. From toupees to hair plugs, to pills and creams, hair loss treatment is a very profitable industry. A method that is a little more permanent, and doesn’t require continued application of creams or swallowing of pills is a procedure called scalp micropigmentation. This procedure is performed by a tattoo artist who dots a person’s scalp with hundreds or thousands of tiny dots — depending on the severity of the baldness — that look like very short pieces of hair. The best way to describe what it looks like might be stubble. It’s essentially a permanent buzz cut, and apparently, it is a practice that is becoming embraced by the bald community.

Hair loss and baldness affects a large percentage of men, some estimates are that 66% of men experience hair loss by the age of 35. It is an affliction that negatively affects confidence, and forces some people to wear a hat every time they leave the house in order to feel comfortable. This vulnerability that bald men feel makes them easy targets for doctors and TV infomercial advertisements. After years of being sold snake oil and ineffective pharmaceuticals with all sorts of side effects, there is a treatment without any hidden side-effects.

A couple of nice features of scalp micropigmentation are its relative cheapness and the fact that it is minimally invasive when compared with most hair loss treatments, such as hair plugs and pills. It is also instantly effective. There is no waiting period like with prescription medicine, wondering when you will start to notice the drug is working. There is also no question as to what the outcome will look like, it is a very straightforward practice. They aren’t telling customers they can have the long curls of their youth, but instead, a more realistic option.

One reason scalp micropigmentation is so well loved is that it is subtle. It doesn’t involve drawing, it is more of a practice in shading. So when people see you after the procedure, they won’t say, “Woah, what the heck happened to your head?” It will be more along the lines of, “Something about you looks different.” Interestingly, this procedure isn’t just for men with male pattern baldness. It has also been used on women with advanced hair loss, those who suffer from alopecia, people with scars from hair transplant procedures, and veterans, firemen, and police officers who suffered wounds or scarring on their scalp as a by-product of their line of work.

When it comes to scalp micropigmentation, the bottom line is restoring confidence. This isn’t about having the latest tattoo trend, or looking cool, it’s about feeling good about the way you look. If this is something that you think might work for you, but are not certain, there is also an ink option that isn’t permanent, so you can get test out trial run of the new look. So if you’re tired of looking at a receding hairline, thinning hair, or a number of other hair related maladies, this may be worth checking out.

 

SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION

Scalp Micropigmentation is an innovative, non-invasive method for scalp hair follicle simulation, aiming at the management and coverage of hair thinning due to alopecia.

Scalp Micropigmentation method (micro tattooing) uses special, single use, really fine needles in order to create thousands of small pigmented hair-dots among and around the scalp’s hair follicles.The objective of this method is to replicate small hair follicles of similar colour with the existing ones, which will enhance the appearance of the scalp in terms of hair density. What is actually achieved is an optical illusion of dense short-cut hair.

Hair Thinning

Scalp Micropigmentation method is the new alternative for the permanent management of hair thinning. The technique of micropigmentation is a specialised procedure, which involves the application of small quantities of a special ink that is similar in colour to the existing hair follicles’ colour, placed within the skin layers, at the areas of hair thinning, thus enhancing the appearance of thick hair. These tiny coloured hair-dots reproduce successfully the appearance of real hair follicles, as long as they are applied by a specialised operator. In the case of androgenetic alopecia, our objective is to create a realistic illusion, as if dense hair follicles were present, which is really rewarding and enhances the patient’s self esteem.

Combination of Hair Transplantation and Scalp Micropigmentation

Scalp Micropigmentation method is indicated for all people who don’t have a satisfactory donor area. At the same time, it is extremely effective when the number of hair follicles is insufficient, making hair thickening process difficult.

In this case, the appropriate treatment is the combination of Hair Transplantation and Scalp Micropigmentation. Scalp Micropigmentation method acts in a reinforcing manner, as exact copies of coloured micro-dots are created among the existing hair follicles, giving a sense of hair density on the scalp.

Scar camouflage: Covering up Scars and Blemishes

Scalp Micropigmentation method is an excellent solution for the management of various scars, such as scars due to surgical hair transplantation (the old Strip method), chronic scarring on the scalp, scars due to an accident and burns, as well as other scalp conditions, such as alopecia.

This method, exactly because it is based on the detailed creation of small coloured micro-dots replicating the existing hair follicles, can cover up scars, offering a sense of hair density and health on the scalp. Our specialised operator matches the exact colour and reproduces the hair follicles inside the scar, which results in achieving an impressive improvement of scars appearance.
