Alopecia Scalp Micropigmentation — FAQ
Does it work for total hair loss?+
Yes — we can do full-scalp coverage that recreates the look of a closely-shaved head of hair.

We design with that in mind and can adjust at touch-ups if your pattern shifts.

Yes — matched dot size and tone make it read as real follicles, even over smooth patches.
