What is capillary micropigmentation?
Capillary micropigmentation has revolutionized the world of hair restoration by offering a versatile and effective alternative for those who want to improve the appearance of their hair without resorting to invasive surgical procedures.
Initially conceived as a reconstructive technique for those who sought to recover their image after medical interventions, today, it has become a widely demanded aesthetic option to correct hair loss and achieve a more youthful and attractive appearance.
The capillary micropigmentation procedure is based on the careful application of pigments under the skin, specifically on the scalp, to recreate the appearance of hair where alopecia has left its mark.
But its versatility is not limited to the scalp; This technique has also been used successfully in other areas of the body, such as the chest, to recreate the appearance of greater capillary density in depopulated eyebrows or even to provide greater definition to the lips.
How is capillary micropigmentation performed?
In the procedure of capila r micropigmentation, the precise injection of pigments at a depth ranging from 0.25 to 1.75 millimeters into the scalp is used, thus achieving a natural and realistic result similar to hair color.
The specialists of Hair Solution use machines and techniques specially adapted for this treatment, allowing a precise application of the pigment in the hairless areas of the scalp.
Before undergoing the process, you must receive all the necessary information about the technique, its duration and the final results to make an informed and safe decision.
It is essential that you inform the specialist about any contagious diseases through the blood, since the procedure involves the use of needles and additional precautions that must be taken to ensure your safety and that of the professionals.
In any case, in Hair Solution we include within our protocol the realization of a blood test to safeguard all parties and take the necessary precautions to successfully carry out the procedure.
It is also important to remember that in the preparation for capillary micropigmentation, you should avoid the consumption of alcoholic beverages in the previous days and refrain from using anticoagulant medications, such as aspirin, to minimize risks and ensure a successful process.
How long does a capillary micropigmentation session last?
The duration of a capillary micropigmentation session usually varies according to the size of the area to be treated. In the case of small areas, the session can last approximately one hour.
However, if it is required to work in wider areas, the time can be extended. The best thing is that this procedure is practically painless, which makes it a simple and relatively quick process to perform, providing noticeable and natural results in a short time.
In which cases is capillary micropigmentation recommended?
Capillary micropigmentation, also known as tricopigmentation, is presented as an excellent option for various situations in which it is sought to improve the appearance of the scalp and hide certain imperfections.
One of the main indications is for those people who want to hide scars caused by extraction or transplantation procedures of follicular units that have not been executed properly.
This technique is not only recommended for patients with a shortage of donor areas for hair transplants, but also acts as a perfect complement for those who want a greater sense of density in areas that have already undergone transplants or to hide small defects in areas of short hair, such as scars.
Problems in capillary micropigmentation
Although capillary micropigmentation is a safe and effective procedure, in some cases certain problems may arise that are important to be aware of. One of the most common drawbacks is that the color of the pigment can vary over time due to sun exposure or the use of improper hair products.
In Hair Solution we use pigments of the highest quality and we offer you indications to avoid these problems.
There can also be an unnatural appearance if it has not been done correctly, which is usually due to an inappropriate application of the pigment or the lack of experience of the professional in charge.
Below are some of the complications and care after micropigmentation that may arise:
Possible complications and how to avoid them
Although complications in capillary micropigmentation are rare, it is essential to be informed and take precautions to minimize any risk.
Among the possible complications is irritation and redness of the skin after the procedure, which is usually temporary and disappears in a few days.
To avoid this, it is essential to follow the specialist’s instructions regarding post-procedure care and avoid scratching or rubbing the treated area.
In rare cases, some people may have allergic reactions to the pigment used. To prevent this, the professional will perform a sensitivity test before treatment to rule out any adverse reactions.
Post-micropigmentation capillary care
Capillary micropigmentation is a procedure that, although it does not require surgery, still involves a process of healing and regeneration of the skin in the treated area.
During this crucial stage, it is essential to follow a series of precautions and care to ensure proper recovery and optimal results.
In the first 3 days after the capillary micropigmentation session, it is essential to allow the treated area to rest and recover. Avoid washing or wetting it and avoid touching it as much as possible will contribute to better healing. It is also recommended to avoid shaving your head in this initial period to avoid irritating the newly treated skin.
During the first week after the procedure, it is advisable to follow the following precautions:
- Avoid direct exposure to the sun and ultraviolet radiation.
- Refrain from using accessories such as caps that may rub the treated area and cause irritation.
- Avoid saunas, baths in the sea or swimming pool, as water can affect skin regeneration.
- Avoid intense sports that generate excessive sweating on the scalp.
- Avoid wearing helmets or other accessories that can rub the treated area.
It is important to remember that intense solar radiation and UVA treatments are not recommended throughout the healing process, as they could be harmful to the newly treated skin.
For this reason, it is recommended not to undergo capillary micropigmentation during the summer season, when sun exposure is more intense, or to make sure that the area will remain protected whenever we are outside.
From day 4, it is advisable to start washing the head with a neutral pH shampoo.
Once the first week has passed, it is possible to follow a care routine that will help stabilize the pigment and prolong the effects of micropigmentation, while maintaining the health of the skin.
Finally, it is advisable to always apply full-screen sunscreen creams with an SPF 50 factor on the scalp, as well as use mild shampoos and apply moisturizers to the area.
During this postoperative period of capillary micropigmentation, it is possible to shave the head if necessary.
However, it is essential to follow the indications and recommendations of the Hair Solution specialist to ensure adequate and successful healing after capillary micropigmentation, adapting care to the specific needs of each patient.
Is capillary micropigmentation reversible?
One of the most frequent questions that arise when considering scalp micropigmentation is whether this procedure is reversible.
Unlike other more invasive techniques, capillary micropigmentation offers a significant advantage in terms of durability and retouchability.
Capillary micropigmentation is a semi-permanent technique that is performed by injecting pigments into the superficial layer of the skin of the scalp.
Although the duration may vary depending on the type of skin and aftercare, the most common is that the results remain visible for a period ranging from 4 to 6 years.
The semi-permanence of capillary micropigmentation gives patients the flexibility to adapt their appearance as time passes and their preferences change.
If, for some reason, you want to reverse the effects of capillary micropigmentation before this period elapses, it is possible to carry out pigment removal or color correction procedures.
However, it is important to note that the complete removal of capillary micropigmentation may require several sessions and is a more complex process than the initial application. For this reason, it is essential to consider scalp micropigmentation as a long-lasting treatment and make sure you make an informed and conscious decision before undergoing the procedure.
Micropigmentation: Advantages and Disadvantages
Capillary micropigmentation is an increasingly popular procedure among men and women looking to improve the appearance of their scalp.
Like any aesthetic treatment, capillary micropigmentation has its advantages and disadvantages that it is relevant to consider before making a decision. The advantages and disadvantages of capillary micropigmentation are discussed below:
Benefits of capillary micropigmentation
Capillary micropigmentation offers a number of advantages that make it an attractive option for those who want to improve the appearance of their scalp. Some of its benefits are:
- The pigments used are harmless and bioabsorbable, which guarantees safety and compatibility with the human body.
- It is less painful than a conventional tattoo and, in selected cases, anesthetic blocks can be applied to minimize discomfort.
- It does not require undergoing surgery, as it is a non-surgical procedure.
- The results are immediate, and patients can see the almost definitive effect in just 2-4 days, although the color can take up to 4 weeks to stabilize completely.
- The recovery period is short, which allows you to resume daily activities without the need for sick leave.
- Side effects are uncommon, with skin redness being the most frequent and mild.
- It is an excellent option to improve the results of other treatments, such as hair transplantation or hair mesotherapy.
- Being a semi-permanent procedure, patients have the option of not repeating the intervention if they get tired of the result or using lasers to remove traces of ink.
- The costs are lower than those of a hair transplant.
Possible disadvantages and important considerations
Although capillary micropigmentation It offers multiple benefits, it is essential to consider some disadvantages before undergoing the procedure. Some aspects to consider are:
- Limitation in appearance: If you opt for a shaved effect, it is important to keep in mind that your appearance will remain with that style, since the procedure seeks to simulate the presence of short hair. If in the future you want to change your look, it will not be possible naturally, which can be an important consideration for some people.
- Non-permanent solution: Unlike a hair transplant, capillary micropigmentation is not a definitive solution for hair loss. Over time, the pigments may fade and require touch-ups 4 to 6 years after the initial treatment. Fortunately, these touch-ups are usually cheaper than the first procedure.
- Color blurring: Over time, it is normal for the pigments used in capillary micropigmentation to gradually fade. While this is not considered a negative side effect, it is essential to be prepared for the color to fade over time and may require additional touch-ups to maintain the desired look.
Combination of capillary micrograft and micropigmentation
Capillary micropigmentation, while offering natural and long-lasting results, does not provide the three-dimensional effect achieved with a hair transplant, especially with the FUE technique.
The latter stands out for providing 100% natural and permanent results, since it consists of grafting small follicles from the donor area to the recipient area, achieving effective coverage in bald areas.
The choice between the FUE technique and capillary micropigmentation will depend on the specific needs and conditions of each patient. It is essential to have a professional evaluation to determine the most appropriate option and obtain the desired results.
By combining both techniques, it is possible to achieve an even more complete and natural effect, overcoming hair loss and recovering a rejuvenated and harmonious hair appearance.

Both hair micrografting and capillary micropigmentation are safe and effective procedures that have helped countless people regain their confidence and enjoy an improved hair image.
