Botched Scalp Micropigmentation? Here's What to Do

ScalpMasters RI • March 28, 2022

When you decide to have a scalp micropigmentation performed, you are expecting stellar results that allow you to feel confident in your appearance once again. However, there are many providers looking to capitalize on the popularity of this procedure, and they do not always have the qualifications or experience needed in order to give you the results that you deserve. If you have received a botched scalp micropigmentation, it's important to know that you have options available to you.

What is Scalp Micropigmentation?   

Scalp micropigmentation is quickly becoming the leading hair loss treatment solution in New England. This non-surgical procedure is performed by a licensed technician, who uses a micro-needle in order to inject pigment into the scalp and create the look of a freshly-grown hair follicle. When the technician relies on extensive experience and precise skills, the results are incredible. Anyone who partners with a leading expert in scalp micropigmentation will enjoy instant, personalized results that will last for years to come.

What Can Go Wrong During the Scalp Micropigmentation Procedure?     

Unfortunately, there are many places that are offering scalp micropigmentation services, despite the fact that they do not have the experience needed to give their clients the best possible results. Some of the most common signs of a botched scalp micropigmentation procedure include:

  • Pigment that has been deposited too deep into the skin. A scalp micropigmentation procedure is sometimes referred to as a hairline tattoo, but this procedure is very different from a traditional tattoo. Tattoo artists deposit tattoo ink deep into the skin, injecting the dye several layers into the area where the tattoo is applied. The scalp micropigmentation procedure, however, requires the technician to inject special pigment into the first couple layers of the skin. 
  • Improper dot size and placement. The technician must use precision and skill in order to create the look of a freshly-grown hair follicle. An inexperienced technician may create dots that are too big, or they may place the dots too close together. This will not give you the natural-looking results that you are looking for.
