Scalp micropigmentation in India
Quick answer
Scalp micropigmentation is a medical tattoo that places tiny dots of pigment to mimic shaved hair or add density to thinning hair. It is non-surgical and usually needs two or three sessions a few days apart. A stay of about a week covers most treatment plans.

At a glance
The technique suits men who keep a buzz cut and people with scars or thinning who want the look of density.
Pigment fades over years, so touch-ups are needed eventually.
How this approach differs
Plan about 7 days to fit two or three sessions. Avoid washing, sweating and swimming for a few days after each session. Avoid sun on the scalp for weeks, as UV fades pigment. Touch-ups in future need another trip.
