Permanent Makeup for Men Camouflages Transplant Scars

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.

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.

Paramedical Micropigmentation Camouflages Harvest Sites

Skin imperfections from surgeries can be easily camouflaged. This is because micropigmentation has the ability to break up the scar tissue and color it to better match the natural surrounding skin tone.

For those men that have chosen a hair transplant as a way of filling in sparse areas, paramedical micropigmentation can disguise the areas that have been used for harvesting.

As you can see in the photos, the “plug” style of hair transplant is no longer the norm. Now a single strip of donor tissue from the back of the scalp is used for the transplant. This hair-bearing tissue is then further divided into smaller sections using a dissecting stereo-microscope before being grafted onto the new site.

Typical scarring can be made into an almost invisible line, thanks to Melany’s artistry for scar camouflage. And three weeks later, the ”perfecting” session can create even more remarkable coverage of the scar area, leaving the harvesting area almost undetectable after Melany artistically blends in all areas.

For those men who haven’t yet decided if transplantation is right for them, they may want to consider micropigmentation as an alternative. Adding pigment that matches the pattern of hair growth to the area that has become sparse can make the “bald spots” appear much smaller and give the illusion of a fuller head of hair.
