Candidates for micropigmentation include people with thinning hair, pattern baldness, or visible scalp scars from injury or surgery. Those unsuitable for hair transplant due to health or personal reasons may also benefit. Individuals should have a healthy scalp without active inflammatory conditions for optimal results.
Microblading is a semi-permanent technique that uses a hand-held blade to create realistic, hair-like strokes for eyebrow enhancement. Pigment is placed in the upper layer of the skin, which makes the results appear softer and fade within 1–3 years. Micropigmentation uses a machine to implant pigment deeper into the dermal layer, creating longer-lasting but often denser effects. Microblading looks more natural for brows, while micropigmentation can be used on brows, lips, scalp, and lasts longer.
