Here at Ink on Hair, we specialise in providing scalp micropigmentation (SMP) treatment, which is a type of medical head tattoo that aims to offer a solution to those suffering from hair loss. By replicating the appearance of hair follicles, it can provide a shaved-head look or increase the appearance of hair density, whether you are experiencing thinning or you are completely bald. Today we are going to focus on how scalp micropigmentation can be used as treatment for alopecia.
What is Alopecia?
Alopecia is a condition that can affect all genders, whereby an individual’s immune system fights their hair follicles, resulting in hair loss. It can lead to loss of hair, not only on their scalp, but also affecting the eyelashes, eyebrows, and facial hair. Even if it grows back, alopecia is likely to reoccur, often meaning total hair loss. There are different types of alopecia, and when the condition progresses to the Alopecia Universalis stage, it becomes almost impossible for grown hair to remain on the scalp as any new hair will fall out.
SMP as a Solution for Alopecia
As there is no known cure or solution for those affected with alopecia, and whilst there are some treatments that claim to help with hair loss, SMP offers an affordable solution by visually replicating the appearance of hair, rather than seeking to re-grow it. For those who are completely bald, you will benefit from the appearance of a shaved head, whilst those who are in the process of losing their hair may benefit from the treatment in order to increase the appearance of hair density.
The Best Hair Loss Treatment
When you consider the comparisons, SMP is one of the best hair loss treatments, as once you invest in it, it offers a permanent solution. You may choose to get top up treatments, but the whole process initially only takes a few weeks during the course of treatment sessions to achieve the desired results. By opting for scalp micropigmentation treatment for alopecia, you will benefit from a uniform look that is professional and slick. In order to determine the cause of your hair loss, it may be worth visiting your GP for diagnosis if you are concerned. Alopecia can be linked to stress, whether due to telogen effluvium (a reaction due to traumatic experiences), trichotillomania (a compulsion to pull hair out), and alopecia areata (the body’s immune response, discussed previously). Your doctor may also recommend complementary treatments such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy).
