Who undertakes scalp micro pigmentation in Turkey?
Scalp micro pigmentation in Turkey is different from a regular tattoo in the sense that it very much depends on the type and degree of hair loss. The hair transplant professionals in Istanbul who undertake such procedures are medically trained to diagnose hair loss and to recognize hair patterns. Besides, the devices and pigments used for medical scalp micro pigmentation differ a lot from those utilized for regular tattoos. The skin of the head is very different from that of other zones of the body, requiring special medical qualification and training.
Color persistence
Our hair transplant doctors in Turkey are able to perform medical micro pigmentation with natural-looking results. In the first few weeks after the procedure, however, it is expected for the pigment to slightly fade. Also, in the course of a lifetime, depending on the patient’s lifestyle, exposure to sunlight, age, products used for washing and others, the color of the medical scalp micro pigmentation might decrease in intensity.
The micro pigmentation procedure explained by our hair transplant doctors in Turkey
Our surgeons often ask about what micro pigmentation implies and how this procedure is completed. Below, our doctors explain how micro pigmentation is completed:
- first of all, micro pigmentation is a non-invasive method compared to a hair transplant procedure;
- it implies injecting a special ink, called pigment, under the skin of the patient who will be under anesthesia;
- the pigment will be matched to the rest of the hair of the patient in order to have good results;
- during the first days after the micro pigmentation, the color of the pigment can fade a little;
- micro pigmentation is usually employed on the scalp of patients who come to our clinic;
- this procedure can be used for both male and female patients suffering from hair loss;
- micro pigmentation can be used in mild and severe hair loss cases.

How long does micro pigmentation take?
Micro pigmentation does not take long, however, there is no precise timeframe our doctors can forward. Patients will first need to come in for an initial consult and then, during the second visit, the procedure can be completed.
Patients can use micro pigmentation before undergoing a hair transplant, therefore this could only represent an intermediary step in completing a more complex hair restoration procedure. As a matter of fact, micro pigmentation is usually a bridge to a hair transplant because just like in a tattoo, the pigment will fade in time and a new intervention will be required. This is also the downside of this procedure: it is not permanent compared to a hair transplant.

Combine Scalp MicroPigmentation and FUE hair transplant
A scalp micropigmentation and FUE hair transplant in Istanbul represent two great treatments for patients who suffer from hair loss and want to restore the looks of their hair.
Description of the two methods explained by our Turkey hair transplant physicians
Scalp micropigmentation represents a non-surgical hair loss treatment option which utilizes natural pigments. These pigments are applied on the epidermis level of the head to confer the appearance of hair follicles or strands. This hair loss treatment offers extremely natural looking outcomes which resemble the natural patterns of any hair by applying several layers of pigment and varying their angle and depth.
An FUE hair transplant in Turkey is a hair restoration method which has become extremely popular for both male and female patients. This method is the only permanent solution for hair loss. The procedure itself takes several hours and the patients may experience a bit of redness afterwards, minor swelling and scabbing at the places where the hair was transplanted. These side effects, however, disappear in about one week.
Can these two methods be combined by our hair transplant surgeons in Turkey?
A scalp micropigmentation in Istanbul treatment can be successfully be combined with a FUE hair transplant method. This combination can confer more density for a sparse looking head. The hair follicles which have been transplanted in an FUE surgery might not be enough to cover the entire bald area.
Therefore, by using a scalp micropigmentation, our hair transplant physician in Istanbul could offer the appearance of more volume.Another benefit of this combination is the fact that it is able to confer flat, two- dimensional pigments with a three-dimensional feel of the real hair.
The two treatments combined look so natural that it is expected to confer the feel of a recently shaved hair. Before having scalp micropigmentation in Istanbul, though, it is necessary to determine the type of baldness a patient is experiencing.
