Is Scalp Micropigmentation Permanent?

If you are looking for a non-invasive way to treatment hair loss, scalp micropigmentation is the answer. This hair loss treatment is not hair restoration therapy, and does not require surgery. Scalp micropigmentation is commonly used in areas where you have short hair, and you want an affordable way to make it appear as if you have a full head of hair.

How Long Does Scalp Micropigmentation Last?

Although scalp micropigmentation can last for years, it is not a permanent solution to hair loss. You will have good results for years, It is most popular for men who have short hair, and gives you the appearance of having a buzz-cut. It can be used for women to enhance hairlines, but it is best used for people who have a short haircut.

Who Is Scalp Micropigmentation For?

There is no wrong candidate for scalp micropigmentation, and it is used for people who have hair loss. The process is used to copy the look of your hair follicles using pigment. It can be used to create a natural looking hairline, and will help enhance a thinning head of hair. Pigment is placed into the top layers of skin on your scalp, and will look like small bits of hair on your scalp.

Will Scalp Micropigmentation Last? 

There is a range of time for how long scalp micropigmentation will last as a hair restoration treatment for baldness. You can expect the micropigmentation to last anywhere from 4-6 years. At Scalpmasters our technicians are highly-trained, and will talk to you about ways to help your micropigmentation last longer. A technician that is experienced will be able to perform the procedure using the right tones for your scalp micropigmentation, and will use ink that is going to last.


Sun exposure plays a role in how long your scalp micropigmentation lasts. If your head is consistently exposed to the sun, the pigment can fade. You will want to use sunscreen if you have micropigmentation done, as this will help protect your pigment from fading. When you get the procedure done, you will also need to take care of your scalp after the session. Gentle shampoos and scalp moisturizer will help the pigmentation in the early stages after treatment.

Will I Need Scalp Micropigmentation Again?

Over time, the scalp micropigmentation is going to fade. Most people will get a touch up on the procedure after about five years. Scalp micropigmentation after five years will have faded some, and a touch up is recommended to give you a fresh look. Once you get your micropigmentation touched up from the original procedure, you can expect this to last another 4 to 6 years without needing to be touched.
