Bald Spot Coverage with Scalp Micropigmentation

Spot baldness is believed to be a disorder (with alopecia areata there is no known single cause or cure) that causes the body’s immune system to attack and disable hair follicles. Bald spots occur suddenly as small bald spots. This detracts from hair aesthetics and can cause a lot of psychological stress on the individual.Bald spots can also be caused by scalp infections (ringworm) or when the hair is constantly pulled (trichotillomania). Regrowing hair in bald spots is possible but usually you may need to try different treatments to achieve results such as:

Use of Minoxidil – stronger forms of minoxidil are also available by prescription where side effects such as skin irritation or hair growth on the skin near to the scalp can occur.

Alternative Treatments

Many conventional treatments are available as you can now appreciate, but there are also alternative effective options.

Trying alternative methods might be a viable option for you if you are looking for more natural and non invasive ways to help. Ignoring bald patches has been known to eventually lead to depression, anxiety and social isolation.
