Male pattern baldness. The words strike terror into the hearts of most men. Even men who are comfortable in their own skins seem to obsess about their hair — or lack of it. The first sign of thinning hair can throw men into a frenzy that has turned male hair growth products into a multi-million dollar business in the U.S. Men associate a lush, full head of hair with youth, vitality and attractiveness. Hair loss is equated with age and loss of virility. For men, hair loss, particularly early hair loss, can deal a devastating blow to their self image.
Artistically applied permanent cosmetics for men can camouflage male pattern baldness. Nationally renowned permanent makeup artist Melany Whitney is able to create the appearance of a full head of hair with the artistic application of precise tattooing techniques.

Hair transplants have come a long way since the old hair plug days when harvesting left male scalps cross-hatched with chicken-scratch Xs. Modern surgical hair restoration techniques now graft entire follicle units onto thinning sites creating a seamless and very natural appearance. Harvesting sites generally remain hidden for years, covered by still vital hair growth. But as in all things, nature eventually catches up, hair loss continues and once-hidden hair transplant harvest sites are exposed. Harvesting scars along the back of the skull often show up as ugly red lines and can give men a lobotomized look. Not exactly in tune with your suave, savvy, accomplished image!
Expert paramedical tattooing, a form of permanent makeup, can reduce transplant harvest scars to a nearly invisible line. Permanent makeup, known medically as micropigmentation, tattoos iron oxide cosmetic pigments into the dermal layer of the skin. The technique can be used to camouflage scar tissue, hide embarrassing hair loss from thinning hair, camouflage bare patches in beards and sideburns, reshape uneven or scarred lip lines, enhance eyelash loss and create thicker looking eyebrows.
To see how permanent makeup for men can hide transplant harvest scars, visit our website to see before and after pictures of actual patients. Don’t let embarrassing hair loss or transplant scars diminish your self-confidence in your appearance. Permanent makeup for men can give you back your competitive advantage.

My friend is distraught. She isn’t even 30 and she’s starting to lose her hair. We expect men to have thinning hair and bald spots, but women? Sure you see the occasional older woman with wispy hair. I had an aunt with hair so thin you could see her pink scalp through her wispy bouffant, but she was in her 80s. Thinning hair just isn’t something most women think about. Unfortunately, Alopecia Areata Universalis (AAU) is more common than you’d expect.
The second most common hair loss disease, AAU more often affects women, although it can affect men and children. AAU occurs in apparently healthy people like my friend and generally develops in the late teens or young adulthood. Sometimes called “spot baldness,” in its early stages the disease creates small thinning patches that can become bald. The disease can spread over the entire scalp and even affect other body hair, including eyebrows, eyelashes and pubic hair.
Researchers suspect a genetic factor as the non-communicable disease appears to be hereditary. Research also indicates that AAU may be an autoimmune disease exacerbated by stress. Whatever its cause, my friend finds it highly embarrassing. Fortunately, permanent makeup can help restore to eyebrows, eyelashes and scalp the natural appearance of hair lost from Alopecia Areata Universalis. Combining expert cosmetic tattooing with practiced artistry, Melany Whitney can restore a woman’s confidence by recreating naturally sensuous eyebrows and eyelashes and using permanent paramedical repigmentation to help hide scalp hair loss.
