Mask the donor area
The shaved donor area often leaves micro-scars visible on short hair. Pigmentation blends them into the density.
A pale, smooth scar on the scalp draws the eye because it contrasts with the hair. Micropigmentation breaks that contrast and makes the area far more discreet.
The principle is always the same: deposit pigments on and around the scar to reproduce the look of follicles and soften the difference in texture and colour with the rest of the scalp.
The result depends on the nature of the scar (suppleness, relief, colour). The initial diagnosis allows a precise estimate of the achievable softening.
The shaved donor area often leaves micro-scars visible on short hair. Pigmentation blends them into the density.
While waiting for or complementing regrowth, pigments reinforce the impression of density on the recipient area.
The whole — transplant and pigmentation — is harmonised for an even result, with no area that stands out.
