Micropigmentation (Hair Simulation)

There is a second possibility for thinning hair, scars, and localized hair loss to make the hair appear fuller again. Micropigmentation, also known as hair pigmentation or microblading, is a shading technique in 3D (three-dimensional) to densify the spaces between hairs. This process is also referred to as hair tattooing and hair simulation.

It aids in making the hair look dense and thick. The goal is to achieve a hair effect in sparse areas. This procedure can be applied either on its own or after a hair transplant. The system, also known as hair simulation, is similar to tattooing or permanent makeup. Color pigments matching your hair color are placed 0.5 to 1.3 millimeters below the skin.

The result is indistinguishable from the natural appearance of hair. This hypoallergenic method is not a surgical procedure but a cosmetic one. The significant difference from regular tattoos lies in the fact that the color pigments used here are not durable and can be broken down by the body. The pigment is entirely natural. Therefore, the emergence of a bluish color change, similar to ordinary tattoos, is impossible. Although it is called hair tattooing, it is not done using tattoo techniques, ensuring that the pigment does not disperse over time.

Over time, the color does not change; it is absorbed by the body and disappears. The lifespan of hair pigmentation varies depending on the skin type, typically lasting 3-4 years. It is a method that does not leave any marks on the skin. It does not cause shedding in transplanted hair after a hair transplant, and additional hair transplantation can be done later on the skin. The procedure is carried out in hospital conditions, with the region anesthetized locally, taking between 3-5 hours, suitable for individuals with hair length of 1 cm or less.

Who can have it done?

Those who do not want additional sessions after hair transplantation. Individuals for whom hair transplantation is impossible due to insufficient donor area. To cover small scar marks. To cover scars from past FUT procedures. In areas with alopecia areata gaps. Those who want a denser appearance after a previous hair transplant. The procedure, performed under local anesthesia in hospital conditions, takes between 3-5 hours and can be done for individuals with hair lengths of 1 cm or less.
