Frequently asked questions
Everything to know before scalp micropigmentation in Strasbourg. A question not listed here? Request a callback.
Is scalp micropigmentation painful?
The sensation is generally mild and well tolerated, similar to light tingling. Discomfort stays minimal and short-lived; a soothing cream can be used depending on sensitivity.
Does it look natural?
Yes. Each impact reproduces a follicle with variations in shade and distribution. Head-on or close up, the effect faithfully mimics closely shaved hair or restored density.
How many sessions are needed?
On average 2 to 3 sessions, 3 to 4 weeks apart, to build density progressively, followed by an adjustment touch-up. The exact number depends on the area and the goal.
How long does the result last?
Pigments are bio-resorbable: the result lasts several years then fades slowly. A periodic maintenance session revives intensity without starting from scratch.
Is it compatible with a hair transplant?
Absolutely. Micropigmentation is often performed alongside a transplant to add density and camouflage donor scars (FUE or FUT).
Is there any social downtime?
No. There may be slight transient redness after a session, but you can resume your activities. A few precautions apply during healing (sun, swimming pool, intense sport).
Are there any contraindications?
Some situations require prior advice: active skin diseases on the area, ongoing skin infection, unbalanced diabetes, healing disorders, pregnancy, immunodeficiency. The initial diagnosis rules them out.
How much does scalp micropigmentation cost in Strasbourg?
There is no standard price: it depends on the area(s) to treat and the desired density. The first consultation is free and with no obligation; afterwards a personalised quote is provided, also free of charge.
How does the first contact work?
You request a callback via the form by choosing a time slot. A practitioner calls you back for a first conversation, then arranges a no-obligation diagnosis appointment.
What is the difference between micropigmentation and a hair transplant?
A transplant relocates real hair that regrows; micropigmentation does not regrow hair: it deposits pigments that mimic follicles. It is non-surgical, has an immediate effect and is less expensive, and is often used to complement a transplant.
Is scalp micropigmentation reimbursed?
No. It is an aesthetic service and is not covered by health insurance. A free personalised quote is provided after the diagnosis.
From what age can scalp micropigmentation be done?
Micropigmentation is performed on adults. On still-progressing baldness, the hairline and density are adapted to stay natural over time; the diagnosis is the time to discuss this.
Can people tell it is a tattoo?
No. The impacts are calibrated to the size of a follicle, with shade variations and a naturally irregular placement. Done well, the effect is undetectable, head-on or close up.
