Can Hairline Tattoos Correct Receding Hairlines?

ScalpMasters RI • March 28, 2022

A receding hairline is a common issue impacting both men and women. This condition, which is typically influenced by your family history, can have a significant impact on your overall appearance — leaving you feeling helpless when it comes to your image. Fortunately, there are hair loss treatment options available that can reduce the impact of this condition by working to thicken your hairline.

What is a Receding Hairline?   

A receding hairline is a common hair loss condition that can occur in both men and women, but is most common in men over the age of 30. A man may be more predisposed to a receding hairline if the condition runs in his family, but hormone production also can have an impact on whether a man starts to experience hair loss. 


One of the most frustrating parts for men is that the hair loss begins to occur unexpectedly, and the hairline quickly becomes uneven. There are two types of patterns that are most often found with receding hairlines:


  • A V-shaped Receding Hairline — With this type of hairline, the hair loss begins around the individual's temples, and it leaves a patch of hair shaped like a V on the scalp.
  • A Ring Pattern Hairline — This type of hairline results in almost total baldness on the top of the scalp, leaving a ring of hair around the edge of the scalp. 

What Treatment Options Can be Used to Thicken Hairline?     

While traditional treatment options, such as prescription medication or hair transplant surgery, are available to patients who are suffering from a receding hairline, these may not be the most effective solutions. For starters, these traditional treatments are very expensive, and beyond that, they do not offer consistent, guaranteed results. 


The best treatment option for anyone who is looking to thicken their hairline is scalp micropigmentation. Here is what you need to know about this procedure:


  • Scalp micropigmentation is a non-surgical procedure that is performed in a clinic by a licensed technician.
  • The technician will create a customized plan, and will use state-of-the-art tools in order to deposit pigment into the scalp. The goal is to create the look of freshly-grown hair follicles.
  • This is the only hair loss treatment option that provides instant, guaranteed results that are customized to fit your specific needs.

The Benefits of Hairline Tattoos for Receding Hairlines

If you are considering a hairline tattoo in order to thicken your hairline, you will quickly realize that there are many benefits associated with this non-surgical procedure. Here are just a few of the perks that you will enjoy when you opt for a hairline tattoo:


  • You will enjoy instant results. While there may be some minor redness and swelling immediately following the procedure, that will subside quickly. You will soon be ready to head out with your fresh new look, feeling more confident than ever.
  • With proper care, your results will last for years. Not only is this one of the only permanent hair loss treatment options for receding hairlines, but it also is the only treatment that can be customized to complement your features and accomplish your personal goals. It provides the most natural-looking results.
  • Hairline tattoos allow you to enjoy a maintenance-free look. Rather than heading to the barber all the time in order to get that fresh buzz cut appearance, you can wake up every day with a style that you love.

Who is a Good Candidate for Scalp Micropigmentation?

Generally speaking, anyone who is experiencing the signs and symptoms of hair loss is a qualified candidate for scalp micropigmentation. Here are a few things to consider as you determine whether or not this is the right treatment option for you:


  • Scalp micropigmentation can be performed on anyone who is experiencing hair loss who is over the age of 18. 
  • This non-surgical procedure can be customized to suit your personal needs. For men, hairline tattoos often create the look of a fresh buzz cut. For women, it is used to thicken the hairline or add density to hair.
  • The technician uses natural pigments that come in a variety of colors and shades. The pigment selected will match perfectly to your natural hair color, and will complement your skin town. Anyone, regardless of their hair color or skin tone, can benefit from this procedure. These pigments are distinctly different from traditional tattoo ink, and they will not fade over time.

Choosing the Right Scalp Micropigmentation Provider

Considering the fact that hairline tattoos are increasing in popularity, it's important to keep in mind that there are many providers willing to perform scalp micropigmentation in order to thicken hairline. You need to find a qualified provider who will provide you with the personalized service that you deserve. At Scalpmasters, we have been performing the scalp micropigmentation procedure for years, and our lead technician has trained with industry experts in order to ensure that he is providing all of his clients with the care and results that they deserve.
