SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION

What is Scalp Micropigmentation?

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a tattooing technique in which minute, metabolically inert pigment granules are implanted below the epidermis with artistic strokes, mimicking the short hair appearance of a closely shaved scalp. It is an ancient Asian beautification practice that has gained popularity around the world. SMP may be used to enhance hair transplants, for hair transplant repair procedures, to camouflage linear scars or in some cases as an alternative to hair transplant surgery. Because it is used to create the look of thicker or denser hair, it is an excellent way to blend scars, hypogonadism or partial alopecia, or filling thinning areas into your natural hair.

Scalp Micropigmentation is bio-absorbable by the immune system through Phagocytosis in approximately two years. If, for any reason, a patient decides to use other treatment techniques, the Scalp Micropigmentation performed earlier, does not create any constraints or deterrents for additional treatments. The pigment simply fades away but does not change color.

The best way to know if you are a good candidate for any kind of hair enhancement is to set up a consultation and to learn about all your hair restoration treatment options.

Scalp Micropigmentation restores a natural, more youthful look, with potentially positive psychological effects, such as a boost in confidence.

Currently, this non surgical procedure is only available in our Beverly Hills and Newport Beach locations.

Dr. Z and all the staff at Ziering Medical,

I would like to send out a special thank you and my deepest appreciation for the work that you have done. You may not know it, but you have played an important part in changing my life forever, and I won’t forget it!

My experience with Dr. Ziering and his entire staff was nothing less than perfection. I felt like I was King for a day. Less than a year later I was able to use a brush and comb again and look 10 years younger. What he did with just 2147 grafts was a surgical masterpiece!!

I went to see Dr. Ziering because I liked the website and what he was trying to do frankly. No referral, I took a risk and I was right: I am thrilled with every part of the process from initial meeting to plan to time with Craig to the actual surgery, follow up and results. Results even better than I thought. EVERYONE says how natural the look is.

The best thing I’ve done in years! Dr. Ziering and Dr. Phipps are by far the best in the business. I’m a Rod Stewart impersonator, and thanks to them I have a great looking head of hair!

My hair was thinning and it was getting to the point where it going to start to be noticeable. At the time, I was working with a Hollywood celebrity. One day he came into the office and said he had gone to Dr. Ziering to have hair grafts, the results were amazing, and that I should do the same.
I filed the idea away and six months later went to see Dr. Ziering. I never did any research about his stature in the field. I operated on the assumption that my boss and his PR team had vetted him (...)

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Dr. Craig Ziering for providing such a FABULOUS TOP-NOTCH eyebrow transplant surgery. The staff was incredible and professional, I felt very welcomed. The procedure was painless. You exceeded my expectations for meticulously implanting each and every brow hair in the most natural angle that only Mother Nature could achieve. The hairs blend in perfectly as if my own genetic code had designed them for my particular facial structure. After res(...)

I wish I had done this sooner. I’m loving it! I have goals now!!
I stopped going to the gym 10 years ago because of my hair loss, but I’m back working out again and I look and feel younger.

As you are aware from my initial visit, I had a substantial number of transplanted “plugs” as they were known many years ago. Over a period of time as my remaining hair thinned, it became more and more apparent the “plugs” looked like clumps and not a natural hairline. Furthermore, the donor sites for those plugs were randomly scattered throughout the backside of my scalp making it difficult to obtain any substantial new donor material.

When I decided to obtain additional transplants I d(...)

I first noticed my hair loss in my mid-twenties. I will never forget my boss (who was 33 at the time and with a full head of hair) who said to me while on a business trip, “you sure are getting thin up there.” Although his comments were completely harmless, it was the first time I started to look differently at my appearance. I could see the thinning in my hair. Over the next four years, I continued to watch it disappear. In my late twenties, I started to look more closely at my options. Af(...)
