Permanently Beautiful

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.

Time waits for no man they say. That’s certainly true when it comes to hair loss. Hair transplants can stave off the inevitable for some years, but eventually, our hair follicles fail us. Fortunately, the “bullet head” is back. Popularized by Hollywood action stars like Bruce Willis, Vin Diesel and Samuel Jackson, bald is beautiful.

Game show host Howie Mandel has turned his bald pate into a winning signature look. Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins turned bald edgy and hip. Chicago Bulls basketball legend Michael Jackson made it elegant. Hollywood’s Ving Rhames made it sexy.

For many men ready to embrace their baldness, earlier hair transplants can present a problem. Harvesting often leaves an unsightly scar around the back of the skull that can be distracting. Paramedical tattoo artist Melany Whitney has the recognized expertise to camouflage harvest site scars to create a handsome, natural appearance. Remarkable coverage of the scar area can be achieved, giving you with that uniformly smooth, sexy look that women love.

The man was elegantly attired. His tuxedo crisp, his bowtie perfectly knotted, his studs beautiful cultured pearls. But what I saw as I descended the stairs at this glittering affair was not the powerful corporate leader, but the ugly scars left by hair transplant surgery. The scarring negated the man’s effort to appear younger and more virile. Instead, the scarring evoked distaste and pity.

Hair loss can demean a man’s sense of self-esteem. With the loss of every strand of hair, a man feels his youth falling away. Even the most powerful men feel the next generation nipping at their heels when their hair starts to thin. Many men turn to hair transplant surgery to mitigate hair loss and retain their competitive edge. Unfortunately, surgery at the harvest site can leave an unsightly scar that circles the back of the skull. Visible through the hair, it can destroy the desired effect or create an uneven appearance.

A skilled permanent cosmetics technician can employ paramedical tattooing techniques to artistically camouflage harvest site scarring. Paramedical tattooing for men can make the ugly scars of transplant surgery practically invisible, turning them into a nearly imperceptible thin line that no longer attracts attention.
