Tattoo Hair Simulation - A Guide to the Basics
What is tattoo hair simulation? Tattoo hair simulation is a
permanent cosmetic procedure which masks the appearance of thinning or balding
spots by using ink to mimic the appearance of hair follicles. The treatment is
sometimes referred to under the names "hair follicle replication,"
"cosmetic transdermal hair replication" and "micro hair
tattooing" (including derivatives of those). Companies offering the
technique use specific pigments, specialized techniques, and different needles
than traditional tattoos, but the process is basically the same. A tattoo
artist uses a needle to insert a dye permanently into the skin. The success of
the procedure depends on the tattoo artist's ability to place the images in a
pattern and density which mimic the recipient's natural hair.
Who could benefit from this treatment? Men who prefer their
head very closely shaved can use this treatment to fill in bald patches or
replace a receding hairline. The scalp tattoo will blend in with the
surrounding hair follicles, giving the appearance of a full head of (shaven)
hair. A scalp tattoo can also be used to create the illusion of a crisp
hairline-the hairline can be illustrated in whatever shape or style a man
prefers.
How long does it take? The treatment is usually completed in
one session lasting between 2 to 8 hours; one follow-up session is required.
What are the downsides? Tattooed hair is not actual hair; it
is a representation of a "full" hair follicle. This treatment will
not add any fullness or body to the appearance of the scalp. It can only work
with extremely close-shaven haircuts. Once the treatment is performed, it is
irreversible. Should you change your mind and tire of shaving your hair close,
the hair tattoo would need to be covered in order to conceal the
"plug-like" images. Overall, this is most likely not a procedure that
would work for everyone. Contact Quinton Gordon.
