It doesn’t matter if you are a man or a woman, as much as we don’t like to admit it, our hair is all part of what creates our identity. Something new happens in your life, you get a haircut. Your latest relationship breaks down, you change your hair colour. Your hair is what defines you.
So, what do you do when one day, your hair begins to fall out and suddenly, you are left with patches of hair, or in some cases, a completely bald head?
Living with Alopecia.
Alopecia is a term used for those who suffer from a hair loss condition and there are many reasons why this may happen to you. Genetics, trauma, self-infliction or maybe a fault with your auto-immune system. Whatever the cause, it results in you losing your hair and potentially losing a part of your identity.
There is no cure for Alopecia, it is something that a person has to live with. It can create a devastating effect on a person’s mental health and wellbeing. However, there are specific treatments you can have to help disguise any bald patches you may have, or even your entire head, which may just help you find a bit of your identity once again.
Scalp Micropigmentation.
Scalp micropigmentation, also known as SMP, is a form of cosmetic tattooing which could be ultimately life-changing for someone who suffers from Alopecia.
Although not a cure, an entirely new hairline can be created with the illusion of having a full head of hair follicles.
The greatest thing about SMP is it doesn’t prevent any hair regrowth that could potentially occur in the future.
Scalp micropigmentation is a non-invasive treatment, and it helps to replicate the appearance of a shaved head by applying hundreds of micro pigment deposits into the epidermis (top layer of the skin) of the scalp.
When carried out by a skilled technician, the end result will be that you have a full head of hair that has been shaved to an incredibly short length – almost like a ‘buzz’ cut. This will help to mask the appearance of pattern baldness or even complete hair loss, making it the ideal treatment for those who suffer with Alopecia.
How many treatments will you need?
How many treatments you need may be dependent on the person and the type of Alopecia you suffer with.
On average, two to three sessions may be required to help build density on the scalp. This will help protect the skin of the scalp.
SMP may not be a cure for Alopecia, and there may never be one. However, it can provide genuine closure for those who do suffer from it and really help them heal from the trauma of losing their hair.
