Things to Know About Scalp Micropigmentation in Los Angeles

 

Sometimes, the alternative to getting bald is to wear a wig or buy shampoos that promise hair growth in the soonest possible time. However, these so-called "solutions" are temporary, and not all shampoos can deliver what they are promising to their customers. You can know more tips on how you can avoid hair loss in this page here.

It's alarming for many people to wake up one day, look into the mirror, and see a patch of the scalp that does not have any hair strands on it. This means that they are getting older or have some unknown medical condition that needs treatment right away.

If you are one of the people who want to hide a thinning hairline or a balding head, then scalp micropigmentation may be the right solution for you. Of course, there are other restoration techniques but camouflaging your head is way better than buying expensive shampoo every week or getting into expensive treatments like hair transplants. 

What is Scalp Micropigmentation? 


If you want to know more about hair restoration history, delving into SMP may be the first step you want to make. Although getting tattoos has been around for more than 5,000 years, scalp tattooing is a new process in the modern world. 

Of course, other people don't call it scalp tattoos or camouflage. SMP is a different procedure than simple traditional tattoos. Most of the practitioners involved in scalp micropigmentation use microneedles, and they have a set level of penetration to create small dots that is similar to that of stubble growth. 

For many men, the age of 35 is often when they first see signs of hair loss. In the early stages of this alarming process, SMP can make the head appear like it's full of hair strands. While many people may understand the concept of tattoos and how it can relate to the scalp, the fact remains that the SMP process is much more compared to what you see is happening in an ink parlor in Los Angeles. 

Benefits to Consider 


If you are still in the stages of worrying about baldness and researching how you can prevent this, then rest assured that you are not alone in this journey. Other people are also frantically exploring how they can create an illusion that they still have thick hair. 

Whether you have a medical condition or baldness in your genes, SMP remains one of the best options for you in the early stages. You can visit a Los Angeles clinic for the scalp micropigmentation process and see other clients' results. Fortunately, for many men and women, the benefits go way beyond the usual "nipping." 

Combination with Other Haircuts 

Many men can benefit from the camouflage as they can always request signature haircuts from their barbers. They can search for hairstyles that will suit them best, get a robotic hair restoration, and the results will astonish them. Others may prefer the "just shaved" look, and this is the ideal style for those who are looking to have SMP and make their head appear fuller. 

Affordable Option 

The treatment doesn't cost an arm and a leg. It's very affordable and budget-friendly for people who didn't consider getting it in the first place. You can visit a Los Angeles scalp micropigmentation clinic and compare prices if you are tight on your budget. However, it is essential to note that the most expensive is always the best. There are cost-effective options out there that can give you the results that you want in a maximum of three sessions. The touch-ups may also be required every five years so you can save more money in the process. 

You Can Get Back to Work as Soon As Possible 

Many people fear that getting the hair tattoos will need about a week and another day for recovery. The good news is that the process may only last from 2 to 4 hours, depending on the area that needs to be covered. Follow-up treatments may only happen twice, and the healing period may only take 24 hours. 

You can report back to work and reduce your downtime with the scalp micropigmentation treatment, and your colleagues may even be surprised by your new look. The process is also painless, and you may be healed even before you know it, so this is why the process is prevalent for many people. 

The Results are Very Realistic 

The best technicians out there will match your current hair color and suggest other hues that match your skin tone. The results will look more natural, and you can go back to your usual routines without feeling conscious. Experts who are practicing SMP for a long time know how to mimic the natural look of hair strands, and the specialized ink will also contribute significantly to a more natural-looking scalp.

Immediate Improvements 


Buying shampoo and hoping that your hair strands will go back to their average volume will take a lot of time. Before you know it, a good patch of the scalp is already showing, and you may be more conscious as a result. When you get SMP treatment, rest assured that you can see the results and the dot colors even after just a single session. Your head will look fuller, and it won't take months before you see improvements of the scalp that has hair loss.

The benefits that you can get with SMP are numerous, and the results speak for themselves. Other options may only stop hair loss, or some shampoos may be ineffective, but SMP will give you a fuller look every single time. 

If you decide to go for a close trim and certain spots are more obviously thinner than the others, then this is a process that's right for you. Make sure to choose practitioners who use high-definition techniques like scalp camouflaging to hide the balding spots effectively. The right people for the job will make the process a more pleasurable experience.

Starlooks Looksbook Box Review - Revival

If you have been following for while, I am sure you have already seen how my love affair with Starbox. That is something that has been going on for years now. However last month it was taken to another level when I was introduced to Looksbook by Starlooks.

Looksbook is not just a subscription box, it is a lifestyle. Looksbook is a complete look that comes in perfect sizes and in a custom designed little box that keeps everything together and secure in a compact case that fits perfectly in your purse.


This month the Looksbook is called Revival. It contained a Perfect Size Eye Shadow Duo, Mascara and Lipstick. They are all matched by Starlooks to create a signature look.


The look begins with the Agave Eye Shadow Duo. These are earthy shades of red and green. I really like that these are a more matte and in colorful yet nuetral tones. These are nothing like the shimmery chocolate browns and gold tones I usually choose for my eye shadow. I like being "pushed" to try new things. It helps me expand my possibilities.


Step two in the Revival look is the Flora Spectrum Mascara. This is a blueish color. It is not overly bright or dark.It is very unique. I have not seen a mascara close to this shade before. I almost exclusively use black mascara, so I was excited to mix it up with this one. I love it.


Finally, the finishing touch on this fabulous look is lipstick in Rawr. It is a very bold, bright pink color. It is a matte shade, which fits perfect with the other items in this collection. It is very opaque. It is smooth, but not creamy, it feels almost powdery(in a good way) on the lips. Such a daring shade.


None of these shades are ones that I would normally choose for myself and I would never think to combine them in this way. I love that Starlooks creates such unique looks for me with the Looksbook Box, because they know much more about beauty and cosmetics than I do, and I love having expert style advice. They even give specific tips in the Looksbook.


The tips are great. I wish I was better at applying makeup in general, but I love having the looks chosen and the tips laid out for me. It sure makes it more difficult for me to fail(not that I still won't). My completed look is not nearly as nice as these model photos, but with my skill level, I think it looks good, which is a credit to Starlooks for sure.


The Looksbook Box is a must have beauty toolkit. It is like getting a gift in the mail every month. It is exciting and expands your horizons and, best of all, it is only $12 a month, and shipping is free. You can't even get these perfect size products for $12, but you definitely would not get the specialty looks created for you, the perfect fit case for travel and the expert tips. This is amazing value. What are you waiting for? Subscribe now!
*Although I received Looksbook at no cost to facilitate a review, all opinions are 100% my own.*

Starlooks Looksbook Review!

Everyone knows how much I love Starlooks cosmetics and how much I adore my Starbox subscription. I am so excited to have received the very first Looksbook Starbox. The Looksbook box is brand new, and it is awesome. Each month has a different theme. This month is the Resort Edition.


I love that the collection is coordinated to create one cohesive, themed, look. It is so great to have the entire look planned for me, as sometimes I am play it too safe when trying to create a look. With the Looksbook, Starlooks creates fresh, bold, trendy, fun looks for me, so I know it will look great.


The Looksbook even has tips for each product to ensure that I know what to do. I can use all the tips I can get. I am not always comfortable with my skills where beauty products are concerned, so I love to have a guide to help me be sure I am doing it right.


Now on to the actual items included in this month's Looksbook box, they are fabulous. This box contained a fabulous Water Eye Shadow Stick, a Highlighter/Blush Duo, and a Lipstick, all perfectly coordinated for a resort look.

The colors are fabulous. I was blown away by how beautiful they are, especially since the Highlighter/Blush is the only color palate I would have normally chosen for myself. The colors are beautiful, though. After seeing them, I am thrilled to have them in my collection. It's like Starlooks knows me better than I know myself.

The Water Eye Shadow in Aqua is so stunning. The shimmer is divine. I am all about shimmer on my eyes, so that is perfect. I usually opt for dark, nuetral colors, so this light, blueish green color is such a change. I really think it makes my eyes pop, and it is a much more fun look for daytime.


This is the first Water Eye Shadow I have ever used, and I just love it. It is so easy to apply. It is advised to use a small shadow brush, and that works so well. It is also easy to apply with my finger or directly from the stick(and smoothed with brush or fingers). It stays on all day, never smears or goes transparent. It feels lightweight and smooth. One of the best shadows I have ever used.

The Lipstick in Jet Set is so pretty. It is a very true pink with hints of coral. It is such a flirty, fun color. I love that it is opaque but it does not look pasty or like it is painted on. It looks smooth, polished and super moisturized. It even made my lips feel softer after I look it off. It didn't fade, bleed or cake up. I find myself going to this lipstick more and more, slowly replacing my usual faves.


The Highlighter/Blush Duo is stunning. These are the colors I usually reach for, but they are still a step above the other items I own. That gold highlighter will be a staple for me, I can us it on my eyes or cheeks with any look. The blush is such a natural looking color, but with a hint of luminous shimmer. Again, shimmer is my thing, so I love that.


Together, these products create a fresh, bright, flirty fun resort look. This gives a very beachy feel, which is perfect for the beach town I live in here in Florida. Best of all, they are perfectly sized for travel, and they all fit neatly and securely in the Looksbook box. I can toss the entire look in my purse. It takes up minimal space and I never have to worry about the products coming open or getting broken.

I am in love with the Starlooks Looksbook box already. I cannot wait to see what next month will hold. For only $12, including shipping, it is an amazing value. Not only is it a complete, travel friendly, look, but it is a surprise in your mailbox every month. Who doesn't love getting fun gifts in the mail?
