Scalp micropigmentation and microblading are similar procedures. These procedures are also different when it comes to implanting pigments. Scalp micropigmentation generates an illusion of fuller hair. Micropigmentation is typically done using an electric tattoo machine. The reason is that the doctor requires more power to get in the skin on your scalp. This is because the scalp skin is thicker than that of the eyebrows.

How Scalp Micropigmentation Works

This procedure does not aim to make hairlines like it is for microblading eyebrows. But it uses small, layered dots in several colors to look like the shadow on your scalp. The procedure is usually done to generate a natural-looking depth and definition. The artist needs to ensure the dots are as natural as possible and should resemble your hair follicles so that they can blend well. If you are going through any hair loss, this procedure is fit for you.
