learn Overview

learn Scalp Micropigmentation

Can I use hair loss treatments (finasteride, minoxidil) after scalp micropigmentation? About half of clinics say finasteride can continue through scalp micropigmentation, and about half ask clients to pause topical minoxidil during the sessions and for roughly 30 days afterwards. That pause is clinic aftercare convention, not a label instruction - ask your prescriber first, because stopping minoxidil usually causes shedding.
Can scalp micropigmentation be removed? Scalp micropigmentation can be removed using laser treatments, but results may vary.
When can I wash my hair after scalp micropigmentation? Wait 3 to 10 days before washing your hair after scalp micropigmentation.

learn Hair Transplant

How many sessions will I need for a hair transplant? Providers give different answers, and the number is decided at consultation: some clinics quote courses of 3 to 6 sessions, but that pattern belongs to non-surgical treatments rather than to surgery. Ask your surgeon how many procedures your own case would need and how far apart they would be.
