Hair Transplants and Permanent Makeup: How to Achieve a Natural Look

この記事の概要

Hair transplantation is a very effective treatment for AGA (male pattern baldness), but to pursue an even more natural look, it can be used in combination with art makeup. Art makeup is a technique that complements thinning hair or areas of concern after hair transplantation to achieve a more natural look. This article will explain in detail how to pursue a natural look by combining hair transplantation and art makeup.

Overview of hair transplantation and permanent makeup

Hair transplant

Technique: Hair transplantation is a procedure in which healthy hair follicles are harvested from the back or sides of the head and transplanted to the thinning areas . There are two methods: FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation).

Effect: As natural hair grows back, the improvement in appearance is highly effective and lasts for a long time.

Permanent makeup

Technique: Permanent makeup is a technique that involves injecting tiny pigments into the skin to draw hair, eyebrows, eyeliner, etc. When applied to the scalp specifically, it is called scalp micropigmentation (SMP).

Effect: It supplements areas of thin hair or areas with insufficient hair density, adding volume to the appearance.

How to achieve a natural look

1. Combining hair transplantation and permanent makeup

Benefits of using both: In addition to the natural hair obtained from hair transplantation , permanent makeup can be used to increase density, resulting in a more natural look.

It can create a more natural gradation, especially in areas with thinning hair around the hairline and top of the head .

Timing of procedure: Permanent makeup is usually applied after the wound has completely healed after hair transplantation , which usually takes a few months after the hair transplant .

2. The Importance of Counseling and Design

Counseling: Before the hair transplant and permanent makeup procedure, you should have a thorough consultation with the specialist. It is important to communicate your desired style and natural look in detail.

Design: Ask for a design that best suits your scalp shape and hair type. It is important to choose a design that recreates your natural hairline and flow.

3. Selection of treatment technique

Hair Transplant Technique: Choose the hair transplant technique that suits you, such as FUE or FUT . FUE leaves less scarring and gives a natural look, while FUT is more effective for large areas of thinning hair , as it can transplant many hair follicles at once.

Permanent makeup technique: Choose a practitioner with precise techniques such as SMP or nanoblading. The technique must be able to replicate the natural flow and color of your hair.

Aftercare and maintenance

1. Aftercare after hair transplant

Washing your hair and keeping it clean: After your hair transplant , you should wash your hair properly and keep your scalp clean as instructed by your doctor. It is important to be careful not to irritate your scalp, especially in the initial stages.

Moisturize: Keep your scalp well hydrated to prevent dryness. Use a suitable moisturizer.

Sunburn prevention: After hair transplant, the scalp is in a delicate state, so it is important to take precautions against UV rays. Wear a hat to protect your scalp.

2. Aftercare after permanent makeup

Settling of the dye: After the treatment, it is recommended that you refrain from washing your hair for a few days until the dye settles on your scalp. Follow your practitioner’s instructions for care.

Moisturize and protect: The scalp is also prone to dryness after permanent makeup, so be sure to moisturize properly. Also, protect your scalp by wearing a hat to avoid irritation.

Regular maintenance: Permanent makeup pigments fade over time, so regular retouching is required. Consult with your practitioner to set up a maintenance schedule.

Mental care and support

1. Use counseling

Psychological support: In order to reduce the psychological burden that comes with changing your appearance, counseling is an effective option. Through dialogue with a professional counselor, you can relieve anxiety and stress.

2. Community Engagement

Support groups: Connect with other people who have had hair transplants or permanent makeup treatments and find emotional support by sharing information with them. Join online communities or local support groups.

Summary

Combining hair transplantation with permanent makeup can achieve a more natural look in AGA treatment. In addition to the natural hair obtained from hair transplantation , permanent makeup can supplement the thinning areas, improving the appearance even more. By thoroughly taking care of the importance of pre-treatment counseling, design, choosing the right technique, aftercare, and mental care, you can maximize the effects of successful hair transplantation and permanent makeup.

We hope that many men suffering from AGA can regain their confidence and live a fulfilling life through hair transplantation and permanent makeup. It is important to find the treatment and care that suits you and enjoy your new self with a positive attitude.
