The “Full Look”: Hair Micropigmentation  

How did your BFF go from a worn and wispy hairstyle to one that looks lush and full in a single day? If they didn’t put on a wig, they may have visited Dr. Ruth Swissa for a hair micropigmentation procedure.

Better yet, if you are searching for a non-invasive solution for thinning hair that doesn’t require months of treatment, this may be a fabulous option to get that full look in a single visit to her clinic in Calabasas or Beverly Hills.

How does hair micropigmentation make my hair look fuller?

We introduce tiny dots of ink into the top layer of skin on your scalp. By matching the color of your skin to your hair, it gives a visual impression of thicker, fuller appearance without using prescriptions or surgery. It can minimize the look of scars or bald patches by helping the skin to blend with your latest style. The result is immediate.

A Long-lasting Solution for Thinning Hair

One of the greatest perks about micropigmentation is that you get to enjoy the effects for up to 4 years. The cosmetic-grade inks will not fade due to sun exposure or swimming in the pool.

It is becoming a popular option for people fighting thinning hair due to age or genetic tendencies. If you suffer from alopecia or have hair loss as a side effect of medical treatments, this gives you a non-invasive choice that isn’t a wig or a weave.

Working with Your Skilled Micropigmentation Artist for Satisfying Results

This is a specialized procedure that is best completed by an experienced and licensed clinical micropigmentation expert like Dr. Ruth Swissa. Before taking one step forward, you will work together to select the colors and precise placement of the ink.

She uses the smallest needles to introduce dots of color in a manner that mimics the appearance of natural hair roots and follicles. It is much like a tattoo but uses more refined instruments and inks.

Does it hurt? How long does it take?

Many clients experience no pain, but a numbing cream is applied to your scalp before the procedure. The application can feel like somebody tapping on your head while you recline and listen to some music.

The first procedure can take between one and four hours, depending on the size of the area being treated and how dramatic a change in color you desire. Some clients will have repeated sessions to further intensify the appearance or define a fading hairline.

While you can resume your life immediately after treatment, you will be given some follow-up care instructions to protect your sensitive scalp and the new hidden tattoo.
