Permanent Make Up on the Scalp?

Hi Dr. Rassman. I recieved two hair transplant procedures in the late 90’s with micro/minigrafts. I just recently had them removed with lasers. It took me 11 sessions but i got there. I proceeded with 3 micropeels. I’m sad to say that I’m really not satisfied with the results. I want to know what your opinion is on permanant make up on the scalp? I really don’t want to proceed with anymore surgeries…You’re feedback would be greatly appreciated. Please note if you’ve ever seen permanant makeup on a hair transplant recipient ..thanks so much

I have seen quite a few people who had their scalp tattooed. I would suggest that this may not be the best approach for you. I will assume the the peals left you with discolored skin and the transplants that were lasered also gave you a less-than-normal looking scalp. Your situation is a complex one to solve since you have gone through all of the things (number of surgeries) you had. I would be happy to see you, but a face to face meeting is the only way I might be able to help you or anyone in a situation similar to yours. I have always said that the good and the bad news about scalp and hair surgery is that these are permanent procedures. You can try to undo what was done, but the results will never quite be 100% to where you once were. This is why researching your doctor is important and this is certainly why understanding what you are getting into is extremely important — before you ‘dive in’ and that goes for any procedure, cosmetic or otherwise.
