When hair loss is too advanced to be treated by medical treatments, there are alternative methods to conceal areas of balding which are very effective, non-invasive and natural-looking, requiring no surgery.
1. Micropigmentation
Micropigmentation of the scalp, also known as scalp micropigmentation (SMP), is a cosmetic procedure that involves the application of pigments to the scalp's skin. The goal is to create the illusion of a closely shaved head or add density to areas affected by hair loss. During the micropigmentation process, specialized pigments are deposited into the superficial layers of the scalp using tiny, precision needles, similar to the process of tatooing. These pigments are matched to the individual's natural hair color to ensure a realistic and seamless appearance.The procedure typically requires multiple sessions to achieve the desired result. The outcome of micropigmentation is the appearance of tiny hair follicle-like dots on the scalp, providing the illusion of a fuller head of hair or a closely cropped hairstyle. offering a more permanent solution compared to some temporary alternatives. It's essential to note that the results can vary based on factors such as the individual's skin type, the chosen pigments, and the skill of the practitioner performing the micropigmentation.
2. Hair Replacement Systems
Hair replacement systems, also known as hairpieces or toupees, are non-surgical solutions designed to address hair loss by providing the appearance of a full head of hair. These systems offer a non-invasive alternative to surgical hair restoration procedures and are suitable for individuals at advanced stages of hair loss. They are typically made from natural or synthetic hair and are customized to match the individual's hair color, texture, and style preferences. Hair replacement systems aim to blend seamlessly with the existing hair, creating a natural and undetectable look. They have become increasingly sophisticated over time, offering more natural and comfortable options for those seeking to address the visual effects of hair loss.3. Hair Building Fibers
Hair building fibers are a cosmetic solution designed to instantly enhance the appearance of hair thickness and volume. They serve as cosmetic camouflage and can be applied by any individual for a very natural look. These fibers are typically made from natural materials such as keratin, which is the same protein found in human hair. The fibers come in the form of micro-sized particles that adhere to the existing hair strands, creating the illusion of fuller and thicker hair. Hair building fibers are a temporary cosmetic which washes off with shampooing. These are particularly a great tool for women whose hair loss is too advanced for treatment but have sufficient diffuse hair all around for which the fibers to attach themselves.
