It can be used to cover baldness, sparse hair, or hair loss on the scalp or beard. The procedure is done using a tattoo machine with sterile needles to inject pigments around 1mm deep. It takes 1-3 hours and results last 3-4 years. Touch-up sessions may be needed.

    Micropigmentation is a technique that uses tiny pigments injected under the skin to simulate hair follicles and density. It can be used to cover baldness, scars, sparsity and is a less invasive alternative to hair transplants.

    Micropigmentation, also known as dermopigmentation or trichopigmentation, involves injecting pigments just under the skin to mimic the look of hair follicles. It can be used to hide hair loss, increase density, cover scars or supplement hair transplants. The pigments last 2-3 years.

    The micropigmentation process starts with a consultation to determine the desired look and pigments. During the session, which takes 1-3 hours, pigments are injected using a tattoo gun and small needles. Aftercare instructions are provided. A second session may be needed to finalize the results.

    What is micropigmentation?

    trichopigmentation, is a hair simule technique, consisting to insert in the surface layer of the skin tiny
    organic pigments who perfectly replicate the hair follicles. This dot-painting is implemented with a tattoo
    pistol or dermograph, equipped with tiny sterilized and disposable needles, containing organic color
    pigments and penetrate inside the skin around 1 millimeter deep, and injecting resorbing and intractable
    micropigments. These tiny color dots copy the hair of the patient by matching with his natural
    pigmentation. they can remain between 3 and 4 years, according to the patient’s nature of skin. 
     
    Micropigmentation can be applied to the skin skull, as well as to beards,

    Why choose micropigmentation?


    Since this technique is more a make-up than a medical intervention. Unlike a hair graft, its a simple,
    discreet and non-invasive technique, and above all much cheaper. Its also not irreversible : the pigments
    used d in the skin usually fade out after 2 or 3 years, allowing the patient to consider, after this period of
    time, to undertake a new micropigmentation or to choose a real hair graft. 

    The range of available pigments can be adapted to a large variety of hair color, from black to auburn

    Hiding hair loss : for a hair loss dawning, for a partial or sparse baldness, micropigmentation is a lighter
    alternative to hair graft. It ables to create the illusion of a shaved skull. 

    To create hair density and volume : when a patient doesn’t suffer from baldness or alopecia, but his hair is
    sparse or doesn’t show enough density,  micropigmentation allows a simulation of a greater capillary
    density.  
    To hide a scare : consequence of an accident or an operation, a scar can create a discomfort or an
    inconvenience, especially when the hair doesn’t grow back on the given skin aera. In this case,
    dermopigmentation can turn out to be a great solution.

    To fill in a hair graft : micropigmentation can be used to complete a skull or beard graft, in order to densify
    the implanted zone or recreate the giving aera, without waiting for the removed hair grafts to grow again.
    In fact, if the implanted grafts can recreate hair, the planted follicles according to FUE (follicular unit
    extraction) or FUT (follicular unit transplant) technique can still leave tiny spaces between the grafts, or
    tiny scars left by the grafts extraction, that can be filled in by dermopigmentation.

    How does a micropigmentation session happen?


    Everything starts with an interview between the patient and its specialist. The design and shape of the
    micropigmentation and the choice of pigments are created according to the patient’s desires, followed by a
    presentation of the techniques used, the size of the needles, the rules to follow before, during and after the
    operation, as well as the rules of hygiene to follow during the days and weeks following the tattooing. 
    During this preliminary meeting, your expert will also undertake a tolerance test of the chosen pigments, as
    well as pictures. Once the procedure validated by the customer, the micropigmentation zone will be
    disinfected, and the session will start. It will take between 1 to 3 hours, according to the size of the skin to
    be treated. 
    Once the intervention completed, a post-pigmentation cream, made from vaseline and plant extracts
    helping the healing process. Finally, all the informations about the rules to be followed for the next weeks
    are given to the patient.
    After this first session, it should be pointed out that the applied colour is always more dense and intense,
    before fading lightly and taking its natural look after one month. Thus a second session can be necessary
    after six weeks, in order to finalize the pigmentation, eventually emphasize the colour or come back on the
    zones to enhance the density. 

    Micropigmentation for shaved skull style


    The “shaved skull” style, very fashionable, is one of the most asked micropigmentation among men. It
    offers an answer for males who are embarrassed by hair loss. This style also seduces women, presenting an
    image of cleanness and virility, and has the advantage to be transgeneration : guessing the age of a man
    with shaved skull is not easy, especially when he could have gray hair… It also ables to say goodbye to
    hairdressers ! In a few words, skull pigmentation is an ideal solution for alopecia or partial baldness, hair
    tattooing perfectly imitating a shaved hair follicle.
    Micropigmentation for long hair
    For long hair too, micropigmentation is an interesting technique, especially for women, a majority of them
    being unable to undertake a full hair graft, since their loss of hair is balding in a scarce way. This treatment
    ables to simulate a greater hair density, and to reduce the contrast between the skin colour and the hair.
    Nevertheless, micropigmentation is easier to apply to patients with dark hair than for blondes or russets.
    Eyebrow micropigmentation
    For men and women, eyebrows are an essential aesthetic element for the glance’s balance.
    Eyebrow alopecia is relatively common with both sex, for various reasons : hormonal or genetic, hair loss,
    scars, burn… For women, the most widespread reason is repeating depilation, that creates a hair trauma,
    diminishes their density or stops their growth.
    In all cases, eyebrow implant is a possible response, but it is not a trivial intervention, and seldomly
    reaches the patient’s expectations, for density responses or quality of growth. 
     For those reasons, Body Expert and its medical partners prefer to propose to their customers a safer,
    quicker and cheaper alternative : the eyebrow micropigmentation. With a microneedles system, the
    specialist injects color pigments close from the natural hair color of the patient, in the drawn zone
    according to the patient’s desire. In order to bring shade to the brow, different color pigments are used,
    filling and densifying the eyebrow and creating a perfect and symmetrical line over the two eyes.
    Such an operation can be done in less than one hour for the two brows, but usually needs a second session
    for touch-ups, since some of the pigmentation can partly vanish after one week. The final result is nearly
    invisible, giving back volume, density and a perfect shape to the eyebrows and, most important, to the
    glance.

    What is the price of a scalp micropigmentation?


    Prices vary according to the area to be treated and the extent of the treatment. In France, scalp
    micropigmentation of “shaved style” hair, in order to mask total alopecia on the entire skull, costs between
    3000 and 4500 Euros, for at least three sessions.
     
    In Turkey in Istanbul, with the specialists of Body Expert and the best dermographical techniques and the
    best organic pigments available on the market, it costs between 600 and 1200 Euros for a total alopecia,
    and around 500 to 750 Euros for a partial alopecia. An economy of almost 80%, to which must be added
    the travel and accommodation costs (around 350 Euros for a stay of 3 days / 2 nights).
