Does Scalp Micropigmentation Look Fake?

Hair loss is something that many people struggle with. Whether it occurs because of age or a medical condition, going bald can be embarrassing and can affect an individuals confidence. Because this is the case, today, there are a number of different hair restoration options available to those who are looking to reverse the signs of hair loss.

Alongside hair transplant options there are other less drastic treatments available. Scalp micropigmentation treatment, for example, is a great option if you're looking for an affordable, simple, and effective way to diffuse thinning or hide signs of baldness. But many patients are wary of this option, having seen bad results in the past or heard micropigmentation looks fake.

So, what's the truth? Read on to find out everything you need to know…

What Is Scalp Micropigmentation Treatment?

Scalp micropigmentation treatment is a means of placing imitation hair follicles on the head, to make hair look fuller and cover up signs of hair loss. This is done by tattooing different areas on the head with a series of tiny dots along with a colour that matches the natural pigmentation of the hair for an ultimately natural look. For women or men it can fill out areas of thinning and for men, it can create the look of a buzz cut on a completely bald head.

Will It Look Natural?

This is a question that's difficult to answer in a definitive way, and here's why. As is the case with many medical or beauty treatments quality of the results will only be as good as the technician. If you receive treatment that's poorly administered, then your results aren't going to look natural. This applies to pre -procedure and aftercare as well. If the clients don’t follow the advised pre and post procedure advice - the outcome will be affected.

However, an experienced and professional technician—such as El Truchan—will be able to take into account things such as your face shape and where your natural hairline falls in order to create a look that's almost indistinguishable from actual hair. An inexperienced technician, on the other hand, can fall into the trap of creating an outer layer that's too sharp edged, or mismatching the pigment for an unnatural look. When the proper techniques and tools are used, it's generally speaking almost virtually impossible to tell when a person has had scalp micropigmentation work done, which is of course the desired result.

If you're worried about the prospect of getting your head tattooed and it looking like a huge statement piece, you needn't be. The results, when administered by a professional, should be subtle and natural-looking.
