Fighting alopecia: trichopigmentation or hair transplantation?

Hair loss has become a fairly common problem in recent years. This disease can affect both women and men. The reason for this is the wrong lifestyle, polluted air, stress. Fighting alopecia is quite difficult, sometimes treatment does not work. The cosmetic industry has been addressing this issue for many years through hair transplantation. The procedure is aimed at the surgical transplantation of curls, but not everyone will agree to solve the problem in this way.

For this reason, the field of permanent makeup offered its solution. Tricopigmentation is an increasingly popular service in the fight against alopecia. The technique is aimed at visual masking problems with hair loss and bald patches. With the help of a special tattoo machine, hairs are drawn on the head, which are as similar as possible to the real ones. The service is considered an excellent alternative to expensive and long-term transplantation.

The fight against alopecia: what to choose?

Hair loss, loss of density, bald patches - all this is a fairly popular problem. To combat this disease, more and more new products are constantly being created. However, this issue needs to be addressed radically. For this, two procedures were created - transplantation and trichopigmentation. Two completely different services that are aimed at solving the problem of falling hair. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages, it is worth considering them in more detail.

Transplantation. One of the most effective, but expensive ways. The process is not fast, you can see the results after a few months. After transplantation, part of the curls falls out, but after two to four months they grow back. Hair transplantation allows you to create a beautiful look of any length and thickness. The latest follicle transplant technique allows for a scar-free procedure, but is not considered suitable for everyone. The development of this method is not as rapid as in permanent makeup, due to the rather high price.

Tricopigmentation. A relatively recent technique aimed at losing luxurious, thick curls. The field of permanent make-up every year helps millions of women to deal with flaws in their appearance or simply makes them even more beautiful. This technique is perfect for the male half of humanity. The fight against falling hair occurs in every sixth. This tattoo technique will visually hide bald spots, mask possible scars and scars, add density to curls.

What problems can trichopigmentation solve?

For many men, a shaved head is an image, for others it is a necessity. Alopecia manifests itself in the initial stages in the form of bald patches, and even if you want to shave your head baldly, difficulties may arise. The whole image of a brutal man who is not afraid of anything can fail in the uneven form of growing hairs. It is with this problem that permanent makeup will perfectly cope. Spot drawing will help restore “proportions”, visually reconstruct the scalp, add density.

Tricopigmentation will help create the effect of volume and density, reduce discromia and help get rid of camouflage.

Scars and scars do not always color men, but in women they generally cause the development of complexes. Permanent makeup is able to mask all the flaws of surgical interventions or the consequences of any head injury.

When should you consider a procedure?

Hair transplantation is not the only option to deal with hair growth and volume problems. If a hair transplant is not yet a necessity, you can consider getting a tattoo. It is easy to create a visual appearance of thick strands without injuring the follicles and without damaging the curls themselves. Tricopigmentation will help in the following situations:

• oncological diseases are often treated with chemotherapy, which leads to a sharp loss of strands. After such treatment, as a rule, it is possible to restore the hairline, therefore, in order to reduce stress and increase self-esteem, it is recommended to use the services of a permanent master;
• will help to cope with the long treatment of the fungus, after which follicles often fall out, which leads to bald patches;
• loss associated with a period of hormonal surge after pregnancy;
• at the initial stage of the development of the disease of alopecia, when it is necessary to mask the manifestations of the disease.

Advantages and nuances of the procedure

Permanent make-up of the head has a number of advantages in comparison with the hair transplant service. First, safety. The service is completely safe, does not bring pain, hypoallergenic and has no side effects. Second, it's a huge time saver. One session takes from two to four hours, depending on the selected area and the desired result. The next advantage is naturalness. It is quite difficult to distinguish the area where the pigment was applied from natural curls.

The recovery period can also be attributed to the advantages of the procedure, since after the session the skin returns to normal after a day, and full recovery takes two weeks. And, of course, one cannot fail to mention the economy. In comparison with a transplant, the price for micropigmentation of the head differs by five or even more times.

The nuances of the technique should include the service life. The effect lasts from fifteen to thirty months, then it is necessary to make a correction. Often this technique is used to grow your own curls or as a preparatory stage for transplantation. The success of the tattoo done depends on the qualifications and professionalism of the master. For this reason, it is important to find a really good specialist in this industry.

Solving men's problems

Unlike transplantation, the tattooing procedure can also be performed on the area of the beard, mustache or stubble. The service is similar to the permanent eyebrows for women, but the technique and equipment are different. Quite often, the male half of the population is faced with the problem of uneven stubble growth, lack of sufficient density in the beard or mustache area. In this case, you should seek help from a tattoo master.

For facial areas, specialists, as a rule, use a slightly different technology and materials. The differences should be considered.

The pigmented substance for the face (stubble, beard, mustache) must be of a special quality. It must be resistant to fading and have a thick consistency so that the master can introduce it into the epidermis with one stroke.

Tricopigmentation involves the use of special equipment - trichodermograph. For this reason, it is important to look for a specialist who has experience with this equipment and technology.

For the procedure, you will need special thin needles that have a cut in the form of a diamond. Their width is 0.17-0.24 mm, and the penetration depth is 0.2-0.5 mm. The small depth of penetration does not injure the roots, and makes the process almost painless.

To create the desired result, more procedures will be required. In one session, the master can process an area of up to ten square layers of the epidermis. The number of sessions is discussed with the tattoo specialist at the consultation.

A complex approach

Head tattooing can also be applied both before and after hair transplantation.

If there is a desire to use the services of a permanent master before hair transplantation, you should first consult with the doctor who will undergo the transplant operation. As a rule, a head tattoo is prescribed a month before the operation, and this allows the patient to be more calm and confident in the need for hair removal before the operation.

The permanent is widely used after the transplant. Quite often, clients want to achieve a brighter and visually voluminous result, which is why they come to a tattoo specialist. Tricopigmentation helps to achieve additional effects and emphasize the result of the operation. The procedure can also be aimed at masking scars and covering scars.

Before carrying out pigmentation of the head or bristles, it is worth checking the body for the absence of any contraindications. The site of the future permanent must be examined for the absence of inflammation, irritation, allergies and burns.

Tricopigmentation enables men and women to regain confidence in their beauty. Hair loss problems are quite common and negatively affect people's self-esteem. The beauty industry has been able to offer a service that does not require large investments or surgery. Permanent makeup will help to reliably mask possible problems from prying eyes.

Pigmentation of the head requires special skill. Drawing hair is a jewelry work that requires a specialist with extensive experience and high qualifications.
