What is Hair Loss?
The human body is covered in hair, and hair loss is when it falls out at an accelerated rate. Hair is made of a protein called keratin, which comes out as hair follicles in the outer layer of skin. As follicles produce new hair cells, old cells are pushed out through the surface of the skin.
Usually, when we think of hair loss we picture baldness, which is excessive hair loss from your scalp. The average adult head has between 90,000 and 150,000 hairs and loses up to 100 of them a day. So you shouldn’t be alarmed if you brush your hair and find some in the bristles. However, if your hair seems to be coming out more frequently, you should consult a doctor to see if you’re suffering from hair loss.
What Causes Hair Loss?
There are a lot of things that can cause hair loss. They can affect just your scalp or your entire body, and they can be temporary or permanent. Baldness is typically the most noticeable form of hair loss, which can affect your confidence and mental health.
The most common cause of hair loss, particularly baldness, worldwide is genetics. Hereditary hair loss affects both men and women, and it generally occurs with age, though some do see signs of baldness earlier than others. Other causes of hair loss include autoimmune disorders like alopecia, hormonal imbalances such as those caused by PCOS, and cancer treatments like chemotherapy.
What is Scalp Micropigmentation?
There are a lot of ways people deal with hair loss. Some try to cover it up, others pay for invasive treatments, while others still go with scalp micropigmentation. Scalp micropigmentation is a non-surgical hair loss treatment that can give you a new hairline in two to three sessions.
Basically, scalp micropigmentation is a specialized tattooing technique where small dots of pigment are deposited into the scalp to replicate the look of natural hair follicles. Within a few sessions, you’ll have the illusion of full, short hair that camouflages any sign of hair loss and even scarring.
At a glance, most won’t even notice that they’re tattoos. They can be applied to a fully bald head to give the illusion of a fresh buzzcut. Scalp micropigmentation can also be applied to where you part your hair to disguise hair loss for longer hair. This means it’s a viable option for both men and women who suffer from hair loss and want a minimally invasive solution.
