Scalp Microblading FAQ
What is scalp microblading?
Scalp microblading is a non-invasive treatment that uses micro-needles to deposit pigment into the scalp (similar to microblading for brows). The result creates natural looking strokes to replicate the appearance of real hair and conceal any thinning areas of the scalp.
How many treatments should I expect?
Scalp microblading should never be considered a one treatment process. Most clients can expect between 3-5 sessions to complete their treatment depending on the extent of hair loss or scarring. These treatments are usually spaced about 4 weeks apart.
How long does scalp microblading takes?
The scalp microblading treatment typically takes about 3-4 hours per session depending on your degree of hair loss. Most clients can expect between 3-5 sessions to complete their treatment depending on the extent of hair loss or scarring. These treatments are usually spaced about 4 weeks apart.
How long do the results last?
After completion of your treatment (3-5 sessions) a client should expect the strength of the color to last for many years. Over a longer term, a client will very gradually begin to notice slight lightening (not discolor) of the treatment. When this occurs they can undergo a brief “touch up” session to restore any fading and secure many more years of their style.
Is scalp microblading detectable?
Scalp microblading has become such an effective hair loss solution because of its consistently natural and undetectable results. Gold Permanent Makeup prides itself on the ability to seamlessly replicate each individual hair to create a perfect match for each client.
Do I need to take time off from work?
Scalp microblading is non-invasive and requires no down time. In most cases, you will not need to take any extended time away from work, school, or other functions. After treatment, it is common to notice slight redness on the scalp for 2-3 days post session. This redness subsides quickly and most clients return to work either right away or within a couple days. Clients are also allowed to wear hats or headwear should they feel the need.
How do I choose a hairline?
If you are unsure of what style or type of hairline will work for you, your treatment specialist will be there to help. With artistic experience on how to fit a hairline to head shape and age, your specialist can help recommend what’s best. Over the course of your sessions you can also tweak and adjust the hairline for a perfect result.
Is scalp microblading permanent?
Scalp microblading is a form of permanent cosmetics or permanent makeup. Often referred to as a cosmetic hair or scalp tattoo, this treatment typically lasts 4-6 years. After that time, a client may experience some slight fading, to which they can come back in for a quick touch up. This cosmetic solution will not wash off but can be tweaked as years go on. We always recommend meeting with our team of experienced expert practitioners to discuss your treatment options.
Will it change color like tattoos?
No. Scalp microblading is a form of permanent cosmetics, but unlike tattoo ink, the permanent makeup pigment is designed to fall within the same color spectrum of short cut hair. The pigment contains no additional colorants or additives and will only lighten, not discolor over an extended time.
Scalp microblading also utilizes different equipment as compared to traditional tattooing, ensuring the needle and machine are designed specifically for micropigmentation of the scalp and other paramedical procedures.

If I have long hair, can I leave it long?
Depending upon the pattern and extent of the thinning hair, clients are able to maintain a longer length of hair. Scalp pigmentation can help thicken areas so that less of the scalp is seen showing through. However, if there is a strong pattern of hair loss or just not a lot of hair density left, the client is recommended to keep it longer.
If I am lighter or darker skin tone, will this treatment still look good?
Yes! We are able to match the shade of our pigment to a wide range of skin tones. Whether you are Caucasian, African-American, Hispanic, Asian, or Pacific Islander and much more...scalp microblading can work for you.

There are many different brands and designs and equipment includes a digital power source, a hand-piece, and a disposable micro needles for the insertion of pigment. Most technicians of scalp microblading use different equipment than standard tattoo artists to ensure the deposits are delicately placed at the appropriate depth in the skin.
Can I still use Propecia and/or Rogaine after my treatment?
Clients can continue using Propecia during and after their scalp pigmentation procedure. Rogaine (topical minoxidil) should be suspended during the course of treatment and for 30 days post your final session. This is to ensure the proper healing and settling of pigment without interference of the chemicals found in Rogaine foam.
Can scalp microblading camouflage my transplant scar?
The scalp microblading strokes replicate the appearance of real hair and conceal any thinning hair. However, it does not conceal the scars and surgical marks unlike the scalp micropigmentation procedure. In this approach, by replicating tiny hair follicles inside the scarring and blending the color around the scarring area, transplant and surgical scars can see massive improvement in concealment.

Look for clinics and technicians that have been operating for several years, have a vast and dynamic portfolio of results, and help answer any questions you have.
