Androgenetic alopecia
Progressive baldness, receding temples, thinning crown. Pigmentation redraws a sharp line and evens out the area.
The technique in detail
Scalp micropigmentation
A scalp micro-tattoo that simulates the presence of hair. Here is how the technique works, who it is for and how a treatment unfolds in Strasbourg.
Definition
Reproducing the follicle, dot by dot
Scalp micropigmentation, or trichopigmentation, places pigments into the superficial layer of the scalp dermis. Each deposit forms a calibrated micro-dot that mimics a hair follicle. Multiplied across the area, these dots recreate the illusion of dense hair.
It is neither a transplant nor a drug treatment: no regrowth is triggered. It is an aesthetic, non-invasive and reversible solution over time, as the pigments gradually resorb.
Key depth Deposited in the superficial dermis
Indications
Who is micropigmentation for?
Thinning hair
Widening parting, diffuse density loss. Pigments reduce scalp show-through beneath the hair you keep.
Alopecia areata & scars
Localised alopecia areata, transplant, accident or cranial-surgery scars: the area is visually rebalanced.
The process
How a treatment works
Personalised diagnosis
Scalp assessment, pigment shade chosen to match your skin tone and hair, design of the future hairline. A detailed quote is provided, no obligation.
Micropigmentation sessions
Pigments deposited with a sterile single-use micro-needle at controlled depth. 2 to 3 sessions, 2 to 4 weeks apart, build density progressively.
Touch-up & maintenance
A touch-up adjusts density after healing. Then a periodic maintenance session revives the intensity of the result.
Results & longevity
An immediate, lasting and maintainable effect
The result is visible from the first session and sharpens over the next ones. As pigments are bio-resorbable, intensity fades slowly: a simple maintenance session is enough to revive it, never starting from scratch.
- Avoid intense sun, sauna, steam room and chlorinated pools for a few days
- No excessive sweating or rubbing of the area
- Follow the recommended moisturising care during healing
