About the Clinic

Skalp is a scalp micropigmentation practice with a Los Angeles location, offering a non-surgical treatment in which pigment is deposited into the scalp to replicate the appearance of hair follicles, creating a new hairline, adding the look of density to thinning hair, or camouflaging scarring from previous hair transplant surgery. Treatment is carried out over three sessions, each lasting one to four hours depending on the area treated, with one week between the first and second sessions and the third about a month later; color, density and hairline shape are built up gradually across the sessions. The treatment is classed as permanent, though a short touch-up is recommended every three to six years. Consultations are available in person at a clinic or by video call and include a virtual mockup of the hairline from the client's photos.

Procedures Offered

FUE
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area using a small circular punch tool. The harvested follicles are then carefully implanted into the balding or thinning areas of the scalp. This method leaves tiny, nearly invisible scars rather than a linear scar, resulting in faster healing and the ability to wear shorter hairstyles. Because of this, FUE is the most popular hair transplant technique today.
FUT
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), also known as the "strip method," involves surgically removing a narrow strip of scalp from the donor area, typically the back of the head. The strip is then carefully dissected under a microscope to separate individual hair follicles, which are implanted into the recipient areas. While this technique leaves a linear scar that requires longer hair to conceal, it allows surgeons to harvest a large number of high-quality grafts in a single session, making it cost-effective for patients needing extensive coverage.
