learn Scalp Micropigmentation

scalp tattoos to mimic the appearance of light stubble

Can scalp micropigmentation be done on a bald head? Providers say SMP can mimic a shaved head on a bald scalp. Results depend on the artist, fade over time, and are hard to remove.

learn Fluocinolone

What type of hair loss is Fluocinolone recommended for, and how does it help inflamed scalps?

It calms inflammation rather than growing hair, it is not a treatment for pattern hair loss, and its labelling warns against prolonged use.

learn Centella
