Hair tattoo: tattooing for alopecia

Hair tattoo: concealing alopecia

Alopecia means a reduction in the amount of hair, or its disappearance.

Its best-known form is androgenetic alopecia, also called male or female pattern baldness, in which hair is lost first at the crown and then across the whole top of the head, up to the typical “horseshoe” pattern; from an aesthetic point of view it can be addressed with an alopecia tattoo.

Alopecia areata, on the other hand, appears as one or more hairless patches that tend to spread outwards; it too can be addressed with a hair tattoo (scalp tattoo).

Today these imperfections can be concealed with an innovative technique called Tricopigmentation.

The aim of this treatment is to create the optical illusion of hair where there is none, using three different tattoo application techniques to address the appearance of alopecia:

• BOUNCE, which recreates a shaved look;
• SHORT HAIR, for longer hair;
• DERMOTOPPIK, for more versatile cuts.
