Did you mean Repigmentation?

Glossary Repigmentation

process of restoring color to depigmented skin or hair

Repigmentation refers to the process by which color returns to areas of the skin or hair that have lost their natural pigment, often due to conditions like vitiligo or alopecia. This can occur naturally or be induced through treatments such as topical medications, light therapy, or surgical procedures, aiming to restore the normal appearance by stimulating melanocyte activity or transplanting pigment-producing cells.

learn Scalp Micropigmentation

Can I combine scalp micropigmentation with other hair loss treatments? Nearly all providers say scalp micropigmentation can be combined with transplants, PRP and hair loss medicines, and about a quarter tell clients to plan the combination with a practitioner. These are provider claims, and some treatments have to be paused while the pigmented skin heals.
What pigments are used in scalp micropigmentation? Providers describe SMP pigments as organic, vegan and formulated for the scalp, but these are supplier and marketing descriptions rather than verified specifications, and clinics contradict each other on colour change and chemical content.
What should I expect after the scalp micropigmentation procedure? Expect redness and swelling initially, with color softening and peeling over 7 to 14 days.
