You are about to make a huge decision but do not know which way to go. You can either get a hair transplant or you can choose to go with scalp micropigmentation but what should you choose? It seems like a difficult decision but in the end, we believe it’s a fairly easy one to make! Here are some of the pros and cons for both. Let’s discuss the hair transplant first.
Hair transplants are a type of surgery that moves hair you already have to fill an area with thin or no hair. A surgeon will take hair from a donor area, typically in the back of the head but sometimes from the chest and implant that to the area suffering from hair loss. Hair transplantation is a widely known surgical procedure that has been around since the 50s. We can agree that a hair transplant is a viable hair loss option for those with minimal hair loss and a strong donor area. This will give clients the look of real, full hair. There are many disadvantages to hair transpants:
Many times, there is not enough donor area in the back of the head to sufficiently cover the top in an individual that has suffered a lot of hair loss. This means that individuals need to go back for subsequent surgeries. Remember, every time you take hair from the donor area, there is going to be a transplant scar, limiting the type of style you can keep. We have many clients who have had hair transplants who come to us to cover their FUE or FUT scars.
Hair transplants typically take 6-12 months to start seeing results.
Hair transplants can cost a lot of money and hurt the bank account. Also, because it is a surgery you’ll want to plan to be out of work for some time. On average, scalp micropigmentation is over 500% cheaper!
Has that number sunk in yet….500% CHEAPER!
Before we discuss scalp micropigmentation, what are some things could you do with the money you will save if you choose scalp micropigmentation over a hair transplant?
You can take a cruise around the world
You can buy a new car
You can buy a beautiful Rolex watch
What if you’re not happy with your teeth either? You can get brand new teeth AND scalp micropigmentation….and still have some cash left over!
What are the benefits or pros for choosing scalp micropigmentation?
Immediate Results. You can come in that same day bald and leave with a new hairline and a fuller look on your head.
Non-invasive. Scalp Micropigmentation is not a surgery and for that reason, clients can get the treatment and go back to work the very next day!
MUCH Lower cost. As just mentioned, Scalp Micropigmentation is much more budget friendly than a hair transplant allowing individuals to receive a hair loss treatment without breaking the bank!
In the end, it’s YOUR decision but, in our eyes, it’s a no brainer for scalp micropigmentation!
