How Scalp Micropigmentation Is Done: Pigment Dots, Session Spacing and Matching Your Hair Shade

The barber tilts the mirror so you can see the back of your head, and there it is again: the crown you keep forgetting about until someone else holds up the glass. You have already tried the shorter cut, the matte powder, the caps. Then a friend mentions he had “the dots done” and asks whether you have looked into the scalp micropigmentation procedure.

It is a fair question, and a surprisingly hard one to research. Most of what comes up online is written by the people selling it. The medical literature is thin. Family and friends have opinions but not much detail about what actually happens in the chair, how the sessions are spaced, or why the color has to be chosen so carefully.

This explainer walks through the whole thing in the order it happens, with the evidence graded honestly, so you can bring better questions to whoever you eventually sit down with.

What is the scalp micropigmentation procedure, in plain language?

Strip away the marketing and the scalp micropigmentation procedure is a specialized form of cosmetic tattooing. A practitioner uses a fine needle to place very small deposits of pigment into the scalp, one dot at a time, so that from normal viewing distance the skin looks like it is covered in closely shaved stubble. Pigment simply means a colored particle that stays in the skin rather than being absorbed. The technique is often shortened to SMP, and you will also see it called a hair tattoo or hairline tattoo.

Three ideas separate it from a conventional tattoo. First, the dots are tiny and deliberately irregular, because real follicles are not arranged on a grid. Second, the pigment is placed shallower than most decorative tattoos, which affects how it ages. Third, the work is built up gradually across more than one appointment so that the practitioner can judge how your skin has held the color before adding more.

It is worth being clear about what it is not. It does not stimulate hair growth, it does not treat the underlying cause of hair loss, and it does not change the way your hair sheds. Hereditary hair loss, the most common type, continues along its own path regardless of what has been added to the skin, as Mayo Clinic notes in its overview of hair loss causes. SMP is a visual solution, in the same family as camouflage fibers or a well-chosen haircut, but with the advantage that it does not wash out in the shower.

The best way to think about it is as a long-lasting optical illusion. Knowing that up front makes every later decision about shade, density and hairline shape much easier.

How does scalp micropigmentation actually work under the skin?

Skin has layers. The outermost is the epidermis, a thin sheet of cells that constantly renews itself and sheds. Beneath it sits the dermis, the thicker, more stable layer that holds blood vessels, nerves and the roots of your hair. Pigment placed only in the epidermis would flake away within weeks as those cells turn over. Pigment placed deep in the dermis, where most body tattoos sit, tends to spread over years and can turn a blue-green tone. SMP aims for the upper part of the dermis: deep enough to stay, shallow enough to keep a crisp, small dot.

Each dot works on the same principle as pointillism, the painting style where separate specks of color blend into a single image when you step back. Up close, a finished scalp is a field of individual marks. From a conversation away, the eye merges them into the even gray of a close shave or into background shading that makes existing hair look fuller.

Why does your body let the pigment stay? When a needle deposits particles into the dermis, immune cells called macrophages move in and swallow them. The particles are too large for the cells to break down, so they sit there, held in place. That is the same reason ordinary tattoos are long-lasting. Over time, some particles are slowly carried away through the lymphatic system and others sit within cells that are replaced by new ones, which is one reason the dots soften and lighten.

Nothing about this process touches the hair follicle itself. The needle passes between follicles, not into them, and the hair that is still growing keeps growing through the pigmented skin.

Who is scalp micropigmentation usually for, and who is usually asked to wait?

The people most often considered are those with hereditary pattern hair loss who already keep, or are willing to keep, a very short or shaved style. Pattern loss is the gradual thinning that follows a predictable shape, a receding hairline and thinning crown in many men, and a widening part in many women, and it is by far the most common form, according to the NHS. For them, SMP recreates the look of a full shaved head without the contrast between bare scalp and remaining hair.

A second group keeps longer hair but has visible scalp showing through the top. Here the dots are not trying to look like stubble; they are darkening the skin so it stops reflecting light, which reads as density. A third group wants to camouflage a linear scar from a previous strip hair transplant, or the small round scars left by follicular extraction.

Practitioners commonly ask certain people to pause or seek medical advice first:

• Anyone with active scalp inflammation, infection, psoriasis or eczema in the treatment area, because pigment does not settle predictably in irritated skin and the procedure may worsen the flare.
• People whose hair loss is patchy, sudden, or accompanied by scaling, soreness or hair loss elsewhere on the body. The NHS advises seeing a GP for these patterns, since they can point to alopecia areata, an autoimmune condition, or to a scarring form of hair loss that needs a diagnosis before anything cosmetic is planned.
• Those with a history of keloids, the raised, overgrown scars Mayo Clinic lists among tattoo risks.
• Anyone taking medicines that affect clotting or wound healing, who should check with the prescribing clinician first rather than stopping anything on their own.
• People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, where the usual cautious approach is to defer elective skin procedures.

Age is less of a barrier than stability. A hairline drawn on a twenty-two-year-old whose recession is still moving may look misplaced in a decade, so the conversation often turns to whether the pattern has settled.

What happens on the day: hairline design first, then the pigment dots

The first hour of a first session is mostly pencils, not needles. The practitioner studies your existing hair, the way your natural hairline used to sit if you have old photographs, and the shape of your face. They will draw a proposed hairline directly onto the skin, usually slightly softer and higher than the one you had at eighteen. A hard, low, dead-straight line is the single most common reason people dislike their result later, because no adult hairline is a ruler. Expect to look in the mirror, disagree, and redraw. This is the moment to be fussy.

Shade selection happens next, and it gets its own section below. Once design and color are agreed, the scalp is cleaned and, in some settings, a topical numbing cream may be used. The choice of any numbing product and how it is applied is the practitioner’s call, based on your skin and history.

Then the dots. The practitioner works methodically across the area with a handheld device that drives a very fine needle to a controlled depth. Each contact leaves one dot. On a full shaved-look treatment that can mean many thousands of individual marks placed over a few hours, usually in a lighter first pass rather than the final density. Most people describe the sensation as a scratching or light stinging, more noticeable at the temples and above the ears, where the skin is thinner and closer to bone.

You will see the result immediately, and it will look darker and more defined than the finished version, because fresh pigment sits close to the surface and the skin around each dot is slightly red. That day-one intensity fades over the following week, which is exactly why the work is spread across sessions rather than done in one sitting.

How many sessions does scalp micropigmentation take, and why are they spaced out?

There is no NHS, CDC or professional guideline that sets a standard number of sessions for SMP, and it is worth saying that plainly, because clinic websites often present their own protocols as if they were rules. What practitioner literature commonly describes is a first session that establishes the hairline and lays down a light base, a second that adds density and corrects any spots where pigment did not hold, and sometimes a third for fine-tuning. The typical range quoted in that literature is two to four sessions. Treat that as a description of common practice, not a medical standard.

The spacing is where the biology matters. After each session the dots go through a predictable cycle: bold on day one, then scabbed and slightly raised, then flaking, then noticeably lighter as the epidermis heals over the pigment and the surface redness settles. Only once that cycle finishes can anyone see the true retained color. Adding a second layer before then means guessing, and guessing tends to produce a patchy result: too dark in places where the first pass held well, too light where it did not.

Practitioners therefore commonly leave at least one to two weeks between appointments, and sometimes longer for people whose skin heals more slowly or who scabbed heavily. Again, that interval comes from practice, not from a trial. General tattoo healing guidance from Mayo Clinic supports the underlying logic: the skin needs time to close over the pigment and for any early irritation to resolve before it is worked again.

One practical point people rarely plan for: every session is followed by several days of avoiding sweat, sun and soaking. If your work or sport makes that hard, the spacing may need to stretch, and a candid practitioner will build that into the plan rather than rush it.

How is the pigment matched to your hair shade and skin tone?

Ask someone with a shaved head what color their stubble is and they will probably say black or brown. Look closely and it is neither. Cut hair viewed against skin reads as a gray, because you are seeing a tiny dark cross-section surrounded by a great deal of skin. That is why SMP pigment is almost never applied at the full darkness of the hair itself. The practitioner starts with a pigment several shades lighter than your natural color and, once the first session has healed, decides whether to go darker.

Skin tone shapes the choice as much as hair color does. Pigment is seen through a layer of living skin, so the same dot placed into fair, olive and deep skin will look different in each. Undertone matters too: a cool gray pigment can look faintly blue on some skin, while a warm brown can look orange on others. Experienced practitioners test a small area, let it heal, and check it under daylight rather than only under clinic lighting, because artificial light exaggerates warmth.

Gray and white hair is a particular challenge. Pigment cannot be white, and even a very light gray dot placed among white stubble can look darker than the hair around it. People with mostly gray hair are usually advised to keep the scalp shaved very close or to accept a slightly darker overall look. Blond hair sits in a similar territory; the palette is limited, and the honest answer is sometimes that the match will be approximate rather than exact.

Finally, color should be planned for the future, not just for today. Hair continues to gray, and pigment slowly lightens. A shade that is a near-perfect match now may drift from your hair over the years, which is one reason many practitioners favor erring slightly light and adjusting at maintenance visits.

Hair tattoo healing time: what the first two weeks usually look like

Healing after SMP follows the same broad path as any small skin wound, because that is what each dot is. The timeline below reflects general tattoo aftercare guidance from Mayo Clinic and MedlinePlus and the commonly reported experience of people who have had SMP; individual skin varies, and your practitioner’s instructions should override anything written here.

The first day or two bring redness and a feeling of tightness or mild sunburn across the treated area. The dots look dark and sharply defined. Some people notice a little clear fluid on the surface. Sleeping on a clean pillowcase and keeping the scalp dry are the usual instructions.

Between roughly day two and day five, tiny scabs form over each dot. This is the phase where results look worst, and where the temptation to pick is strongest. Picking removes pigment along with the scab and is the most common cause of patchy spots that need correcting at the next session. Sweating heavily, swimming, saunas and direct sun are generally avoided during this window because moisture softens scabs and sun can alter fresh pigment.

Around a week in, the scabs lift on their own and the dots suddenly look much lighter, sometimes alarmingly so. This is normal. The epidermis has healed over the pigment and the surface redness has gone, so you are now seeing the true retained shade rather than pigment plus inflammation. Most practitioners schedule the next session after this reveal for exactly that reason.

By two weeks the surface has typically settled, gentle washing has resumed and light moisturizing may be advised. Shaving with a razor is often held off a little longer than washing. Any redness that is spreading rather than fading at this stage, or any pain that is increasing rather than easing, falls outside normal healing and belongs in the “When to call your doctor” section further down.

How long does scalp micropigmentation last, and what happens after 10 years?

The honest answer is that SMP is long-lasting but not permanent in appearance, and no large study has followed people for a decade to measure exactly how it changes. What can be said with confidence comes from how tattoos age in general. Pigment held in the upper dermis is gradually cleared by immune cells and lymphatic drainage, sun exposure accelerates fading, and the sharp edges of each deposit soften as particles migrate slightly outward. Mayo Clinic’s tattoo guidance describes fading and blurring as expected over time rather than as a complication.

Because SMP pigment sits shallower than most decorative tattoos, it fades faster than a body tattoo would. Practitioner literature commonly quotes several years, often four to six, before a refresh is wanted to restore density and darkness. That figure is a practice observation, not a guideline number, and it varies with skin type, how much sun the scalp gets, and how dark the original work was.

So what does a ten-year-old treatment look like? Extrapolating from tattoo behavior, expect three things. The dots will be noticeably lighter, perhaps to the point that the hairline is soft rather than defined. Some dots may have spread slightly, which can make an area look like shading rather than stubble. And the hair around the pigment will have changed: more gray, possibly further recession beyond the original treated zone. Most people who keep SMP long term have had at least one maintenance session by then, which resets density and lets the practitioner adjust the shade to match grayer hair.

Two cautions. Very dark pigment placed too deep is the scenario that ages worst, sometimes drifting toward a blue tone, which is a strong argument for the lighter-first approach described earlier. And if you decide you no longer want it, laser tattoo removal is possible but usually needs multiple treatments and is discussed later under downsides.

What are the downsides of scalp micropigmentation?

Every honest conversation about SMP should spend as long on the drawbacks as on the appeal. They group into three categories: medical risks, aesthetic risks, and lifestyle commitments.

The medical risks are those of any tattoo, and Mayo Clinic lists them clearly: skin infection when hygiene is poor, allergic reaction to pigment ingredients that can appear months or years later, small inflammatory lumps called granulomas that form around pigment particles, raised overgrown scars called keloids in people prone to them, and bloodborne infection when equipment is not sterile. Reputable practitioners use single-use needles and sterile technique; you are entitled to ask to see this. Pigment inks in many countries are regulated as cosmetics rather than as medicines, so ingredient disclosure varies, which is why a patch test is a reasonable request for anyone with a history of skin allergies.

There is also a small MRI consideration. Mayo Clinic notes that some tattoo pigments can cause swelling or a burning feeling during magnetic resonance imaging and can occasionally affect image quality. It is rare, and it is not a reason to avoid needed scans, but you should always tell radiology staff that you have scalp pigmentation.

The aesthetic risks are more common than the medical ones. A hairline that is too low, too straight or too dark is difficult to soften. Pigment placed too deep can spread or turn blue-gray. Color that matched well can drift from hair that has since grayed. Correction is possible but slower and less predictable than the original work, and laser removal of scalp pigment typically requires multiple treatments with a risk of temporary or lasting hair loss in the lasered area.

The lifestyle commitment is the one people underestimate. If you have the shaved-look treatment, you are choosing a shaved head for as long as the pigment is visible. Growing your hair out reveals the mismatch between real stubble and dots. Sun protection becomes a daily habit if you want the color to last. And maintenance sessions are part of the deal, not an optional extra.

Scalp micropigmentation vs hair transplant vs medicines: a side-by-side view

People rarely choose between these options in isolation; many end up combining two. The table summarizes how they differ in what they actually do to the scalp. Medicines are described here by class and mechanism only, and any decision about starting, stopping or combining them sits with a prescribing clinician.

Feature	Scalp micropigmentation	Hair transplant surgery	Licensed hair loss medicines
What it does	Adds pigment to skin to imitate stubble or reduce visible scalp	Moves living follicles from the back and sides to thinning areas	Slow further loss or partially reverse miniaturization of follicles (NHS, Mayo Clinic)
Grows hair?	No	Yes, in the transplanted zone	Can, to a variable degree; does not create new follicles
Time to visible result	Immediate, refined over sessions	Gradual; NHS notes transplanted hair sheds first and regrows over months	Months of continuous use before change is judged (NHS)
What happens if you stop	Slow fading over years	Transplanted hair usually persists; surrounding native hair may keep thinning	Benefit is generally lost after stopping (NHS, Mayo Clinic)
Main risks	Infection, allergy, poor color or design, fading	Surgical risks, scarring, unnatural density if donor supply is limited	Class-specific side effects discussed with the prescriber
Hair length needed	Very short for the shaved look; longer hair for density shading	Any, once healed	Any

A few observations from the table matter more than the rest. Only a transplant and medicines change hair itself; SMP changes only how the scalp looks. Medicines require ongoing use to hold their effect, while SMP fades slowly whether or not you do anything. And the combinations that practitioners most often see are SMP over a healed transplant scar, or SMP shading beneath hair that a medicine has stabilized. None of this is a recommendation for any route; it is a map of what each one is.

Does SMP for thinning hair, scars and alopecia areata work the same way?

The needle and the pigment are the same. Almost everything else about the approach changes with the goal.

For thinning hair that is kept at a normal length, the aim is not to imitate follicles but to tint the scalp so that less pale skin shows through the hair. The dots are placed between existing hairs, often in a slightly softer, more diffuse pattern, and the shade is matched to the hair’s root color so that parting the hair does not reveal a different tone. This version depends heavily on how much hair is still there. Where hair is very sparse, shading can look like a stain rather than density, so practitioners often set expectations accordingly or suggest a shorter cut.

For scar camouflage, the challenge is that scar tissue behaves differently from normal skin. It can be paler, shinier and less able to hold pigment evenly, so it often needs more sessions and more conservative depth. The linear scar from a strip transplant is the classic case; pigment dots along and around it break up the pale line so it blends with the surrounding shaved scalp. Scars from burns, surgery or injury can sometimes be treated the same way, though raised or very recent scars are usually asked to mature for a period first.

Alopecia areata, the autoimmune condition that produces smooth round bald patches, raises a different question: predictability. The NHS describes it as a condition in which hair often regrows within a year but can also recur in new areas. Pigmenting a patch that later regrows hair is harmless but pointless, and leaving untreated skin next to a treated patch when a new one appears defeats the purpose. Most practitioners want a dermatologist involved and a stable pattern before proceeding. For people with the extensive forms in which most or all scalp hair is lost and stable, full shaved-look SMP is sometimes considered, and that decision belongs in a shared conversation with the treating team.

What people often get wrong about scalp micropigmentation

Because so much information about SMP comes from people who sell it, a handful of misunderstandings circulate widely. Here are the ones worth correcting before you sit in the chair.

“It is a hair growth treatment.” It is not. SMP changes the color of skin. It has no effect on follicles, hormones or the rate of shedding. Anyone who describes it as regrowing, restoring or thickening hair is describing an illusion, which is fine as long as everyone knows it is one.

“One session and you are done.” A single session leaves an intentionally light base that will lighten further as it heals. The layered approach exists because skin retention of pigment cannot be predicted in advance. Treat any promise of a complete result in one visit with caution.

“It is permanent, so once it is right it is right forever.” The pigment is durable but the appearance is not fixed. Fading, softening and changes in your natural hair color all continue. Budget time for maintenance rather than assuming a one-off.

“Darker is better because it will fade anyway.” This is the logic behind many regretted results. Very dark, deep pigment ages toward blue-gray and is hardest to correct. Starting lighter and adding later is the more forgiving path.

“It hides the fact that you have lost your hair.” Good SMP reads as a deliberately shaved head, not as a full head of hair. If your goal is for nobody to know you ever lost hair, a very close shave with pigment is still a shave. People who are at peace with the shaved look tend to be the most content afterward.

“Any tattoo artist can do it.” The skills overlap but are not identical. Depth control, needle selection, dot randomization and hairline design are specific to the scalp. Ask how much of a practitioner’s work is scalp work.

“It is regulated like a medical procedure.” In most places SMP is regulated as tattooing or cosmetics, not as medicine. That puts more responsibility on you to check hygiene standards, training and pigment sourcing.

Questions to ask your care team before you book

A good consultation should feel like an interview in both directions. These questions tend to separate careful practitioners from confident salespeople, and the answers will tell you as much as any portfolio photograph.

• How is my hair loss likely to progress, and does my hairline look stable enough to design around? If they are not sure, would they want a dermatologist’s opinion first?
• Can I see healed results, not day-one results, on people with my skin tone and hair color, including some that are several years old?
• What pigment do you use, what are its ingredients, and can I have a patch test given my skin or allergy history?
• How do you decide needle depth, and how do you avoid the pigment spreading or turning blue over time?
• How many sessions do you anticipate for me specifically, how far apart, and what happens if my skin does not hold pigment well between them?
• What shade do you propose, why is it lighter than my hair, and how will we adjust it as my hair grays?
• What is your sterilization process? Are needles single-use, and can I see them opened?
• What are your aftercare instructions in writing, and what would you consider a reason for me to contact you or a doctor?
• How do you handle correction if I dislike the hairline, and what does laser removal involve if I ever want it gone?
• Should I tell my own doctor about this beforehand, especially if I take medicines that affect bleeding or healing, or if I have a scalp condition?

Write down the answers. If two practitioners give you very different session counts, shades or hairline designs, that is not a red flag in itself, but it is a signal to ask each of them to explain their reasoning. The decision to proceed, and any decision about medicines or scalp conditions that come up along the way, should sit with you and the clinicians who know your history, not with the person holding the needle.

When to call your doctor after scalp micropigmentation

Most people heal from SMP without any medical involvement. Redness, tenderness, tightness and light scabbing during the first week are expected. The following signs are not, and they warrant a call to your doctor or, where indicated, urgent care, rather than a message to the practitioner alone.

• Redness or warmth that spreads outward from the treated area after the first two days, especially with swelling, increasing pain or a foul-smelling discharge. These are the classic signs of skin infection that Mayo Clinic and MedlinePlus describe for tattoos and wounds.
• Fever, chills or feeling generally unwell in the days after a session.
• Pus, yellow crusting that keeps returning after gentle cleaning, or open sores.
• An intensely itchy, bumpy or blistering rash over the pigmented skin, whether it appears in the first week or months later; delayed pigment allergy is a recognized reaction.
• Firm lumps or nodules forming around the dots, which can indicate granulomas.
• Raised, thickened scar tissue developing along the treated area, particularly if you have had keloids before.
• Red streaks tracking away from the scalp, or swollen, tender glands in the neck.
• Sudden new hair loss, scaling or soreness in untreated areas, which needs a diagnosis rather than more pigment.

If you have a weakened immune system, diabetes, a bleeding disorder or take medicines that affect clotting or immunity, mention any of these signs early rather than waiting to see whether they settle. And if you need an MRI at any point, tell the radiology team about your scalp pigmentation before the scan; the risk of discomfort is small, but they can monitor for it.

A responsible practitioner will want to know about any of these problems too, but diagnosing and treating infection or an allergic reaction is a medical task, and it belongs with your doctor.

Frequently asked questions

What are the downsides of scalp micropigmentation?

The main downsides are the risks of any tattoo, the chance of a poor aesthetic result, and the lifestyle commitment. Mayo Clinic lists infection, allergic reaction to pigment, granulomas, keloids and rare MRI discomfort among tattoo risks. Aesthetically, a hairline that is too low or too dark, or pigment that spreads or turns bluish, is hard to correct. You also commit to a shaved style and periodic maintenance sessions.

How long does micropigmentation last on the scalp?

It lasts years rather than months, but it is not permanent in appearance. Because the pigment sits in the upper dermis, it fades faster than a decorative body tattoo as immune cells slowly clear particles and sun exposure lightens color. Practitioner literature commonly describes a refresh being wanted after several years, often quoted as four to six; that is a practice observation, not a guideline figure, and varies with skin type and sun habits.

What happens to scalp micropigmentation after 10 years?

Based on how tattoos age, expect lighter dots, slightly softened edges and a hairline that has lost definition, plus surrounding hair that has grayed or receded further. No long-term study has measured this precisely. Most people who keep SMP long term have had at least one maintenance session by then to restore density and adjust shade. Very dark, deeply placed pigment is the scenario most likely to drift toward a blue tone.

How much does scalp micropigmentation usually cost?

This article does not quote price figures, because they vary widely and change often. What you can do is ask each practitioner for a written estimate that spells out how many sessions are included, whether touch-ups within the first months are covered, what future maintenance involves, and what correction would cost if you dislike the result. Compare those documents rather than headline numbers.

What is the hair tattoo healing time after each session?

The visible healing cycle usually runs about one to two weeks. Redness and tightness dominate the first day or two, small scabs form over each dot by around day two to five, the scabs lift on their own near the end of the first week and the dots suddenly look lighter, and the surface settles by roughly two weeks. Timelines vary by individual, and your practitioner’s aftercare instructions take priority.

Does SMP for thinning hair look natural if I keep my hair longer?

It can, provided there is still enough hair to sit over the shading. In this version the dots tint the scalp so less pale skin shows through, rather than imitating stubble, and the pigment is matched to your root color. Where hair is very sparse, shading can look like a stain instead of density, so practitioners often suggest a shorter cut or set expectations accordingly.

Which scalp micropigmentation downsides are hardest to reverse?

Design and depth mistakes are the hardest. A hairline placed too low or too straight, or pigment driven too deep so it spreads or turns blue-gray, cannot simply be lightened at a follow-up. Laser tattoo removal on the scalp is possible but usually needs multiple treatments and can cause temporary or lasting hair loss in the lasered area. Infections and allergic reactions are treatable but should be seen by a doctor.

Is scalp micropigmentation painful?

Most people describe it as a scratching or light stinging rather than sharp pain, more noticeable at the temples and above the ears where skin is thin and close to bone. Some settings offer a topical numbing product; whether and how it is used is the practitioner’s decision based on your skin and history. Tell them beforehand about any skin conditions or medicines that could affect bleeding or healing.

Can I have an MRI after scalp micropigmentation?

Yes. Mayo Clinic notes that some tattoo pigments can cause swelling or a burning sensation during magnetic resonance imaging and occasionally affect image quality, but these reactions are rare and are not a reason to avoid a scan you need. Always tell the radiology team that you have scalp pigmentation so they can monitor for discomfort and interpret images with that in mind.

Should I see a doctor before booking scalp micropigmentation?

It is a sensible step if your hair loss is patchy, sudden, itchy, scaly or sore, if it started recently, if you have a scalp condition such as psoriasis or eczema, or if you take medicines affecting clotting, immunity or healing. The NHS advises seeing a GP for these patterns because they can signal conditions that need diagnosis first. For stable hereditary thinning in healthy skin, many people proceed after a thorough consultation.
