In scalp micropigmentation, fine colour pigments are introduced into the scalp. In this way, thinning hair can be visually thickened, hairlines emphasised or scars concealed, without a surgical procedure.
Scalp micropigmentation in Düsseldorf: consultation, treatment and aftercare in one place
Consultation room
Your scalp micropigmentation takes place at Klinik am Seestern in Düsseldorf, from the first consultation to the follow-up appointment. The treatment is medically supervised and carried out under the clinic’s hygiene requirements in our treatment rooms, as an outpatient and without an incision.
The clinic is on the left bank of the Rhine in Lörick, in the Am Seestern office district near the B7. The U77 runs directly from the main station to the Am Seestern stop, and there is free parking on site. This also makes the further sessions, at intervals of one to two weeks, easy to reach from all over Düsseldorf, from Meerbusch, Neuss and the surrounding area.

What is scalp micropigmentation suitable for?
for styling a shaved bald head
for visually thickening hair or concealing visible scalp
for concealing scars
for emphasising hairlines and contours
03
Scalp micropigmentation as an alternative or addition to a hair transplant
Scalp micropigmentation at Klinik am Seestern is a procedure in which fine dots of colour are introduced into the scalp. The pigments are biodegradable, and the effect lasts several years. Alongside hair transplantation using the FUE and FUT techniques, we thus offer a treatment method that visually thickens the appearance of the hair without a surgical procedure.
04
How does scalp micropigmentation work?
In scalp micropigmentation (SMP for short, or scalp pigmentation), colour pigments are introduced into the scalp using the Visual Hair Densification technique (VHD for short; in German: optische Haarverdichtung). The procedure is comparable to permanent make-up but places higher demands on professional and technical execution. For this reason, SMP at Klinik am Seestern is medically supervised and carried out under the clinic’s hygiene requirements. The effect lasts several years, is visible immediately after the treatment and requires no incision.
05
Who is scalp micropigmentation an option for?
SMP does not treat the cause of hair loss, but it can visually conceal it, regardless of its type, that is, in hereditary, diffuse, illness-related or alopecia areata hair loss. It can be considered if a hair transplant is not possible for medical reasons or is unlikely to lead to the desired result. Anyone who does not want a surgical procedure or who would like to visually complement the result of a hair transplant can also seek advice about SMP. The areas of application can be roughly divided into three areas:
Areas of application
Full baldness, thinning hair or scars
Three areas in which the pigmentation changes the appearance of the hair visually.
01Full baldnessshort hair stubble
The pigments imitate short hair stubble, similar to a very short shave of about 0.5 mm.
Shaving
in most cases, for the effect of short hair stubble
02Thinning hairvisually denser
In thinning, sparse or fine hair, the areas of the scalp that show through are pigmented in a targeted way, so that the hair looks denser.
Shaving
not strictly necessary
03Scarscolour-matched
Scar tissue can be colour-matched to the surrounding scalp so that the scar is less noticeable.
Shaving
we discuss in the consultation

Aims of scalp micropigmentation
Visual hair thickening over several years without a surgical procedure
Visually denser appearance of the hair when scalp hair is shaved short
Visual complement to a hair transplant
An option for people who wear their hair shaved or want to conceal thinning areas
Treatment without an incision

What we pay attention to in scalp micropigmentation
The hair on your head shapes the appearance of the face. That is why it is important to us that the result suits your type and looks natural. At Klinik am Seestern we rely on individual consultations and selected materials that are used only for SMP.
08
Scalp micropigmentation or hair transplant?
SMP can be used in addition to a hair transplant or as the sole method. Which of the two procedures is better suited to you depends on your hair situation and your expectations.
In this way, SMP can also be used where a hair transplant is not an option, for example if the donor hair in the ring of hair is not sufficient or not suitable, or the hair loss is already far advanced (full baldness). The pigmentation then imitates hair stubble of varying density and thickness in different shades of colour, so that the overall appearance looks denser.
09
The course of scalp micropigmentation at a glance
This is how scalp micropigmentation proceeds at Klinik am Seestern, from the consultation to the refresh:
Step 1
Before the treatment
Individual consultation: Before the treatment, we discuss with you which pigment shade suits your type. We choose the sterile colour pigments together with you. Determining the start of the hair and the hairline: A natural-looking start of the hair is important because this area is noticed most clearly. The recommended hairline is drawn on with a kohl pencil.
Step 2
One week before
Sun, peelings, toupee. Avoid strong sun and UV radiation for one week before the treatment and refrain from peelings or exfoliating treatments. Anyone who wears a toupee must take the hairpiece off permanently one week before the treatment.
Step 3
24 hours before
Nothing stimulating. Do without coffee, tea, caffeinated soft drinks and other stimulating drinks for 24 hours before the treatment. Also avoid vasodilating agents and medicines such as alcohol or acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), as well as seafood, spicy food and large amounts of raw meat.
Step 4
First treatment
Under sterile conditions. The treatment takes place under sterile conditions in our treatment rooms. Shaving the hair is often necessary, and we do this on site. The scalp is then degreased with a lotion and prepared for the treatment. The treatment itself takes between one and three hours, depending on the size and density of the area.
Step 5
After the treatment
Letting it heal. Do not wash the pigmented area during the first three days after the treatment. Do without alcohol, strong UV radiation, sauna and swimming pool as well as dry cold for eight days so that the skin can heal undisturbed. Do not remove the skin crust that forms after the pigmentation by rubbing or scratching.
Step 6
From the fourth day
Care. From the fourth day, for about ten days you apply a care product that we recommend to you.
Step 7
Further treatments
Three to four times. The treatment is repeated three to four times at intervals of one to two weeks.
Step 8
After 1 to 1.5 years
Check-up and refresh. About one to one and a half years after the last treatment, we decide together at the follow-up appointment whether a pigment refresh makes sense. We recommend further refreshes about every four to five years.

What does scalp micropigmentation cost in Düsseldorf? Costs and financing
The cost of scalp micropigmentation depends on your starting situation and the extent of the treatment. Following your consultation at Klinik am Seestern, we will prepare a no-obligation treatment quote for you. Financing is possible through our financing partner; more on this under Financing your treatment.
Does the scalp have to be shaved before scalp micropigmentation?
In most cases, the scalp is shaved before the first treatment, at least in the treatment area, so that the desired effect of short hair stubble can be achieved well. If scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is meant to conceal a scalp that shows through, shaving is not strictly necessary. Whether shaving makes sense is something we discuss with you in the consultation at Klinik am Seestern.
Is scalp micropigmentation painful?
SMP is generally less painful than a tattoo and can usually be carried out without anaesthesia. By cooling the scalp, the pigmentation is often only slightly noticeable. However, how pain is perceived varies from person to person. On request, we anaesthetise the scalp locally.
How many sessions are required for scalp micropigmentation?
As a rule, four sessions take place at intervals of one to two weeks. After about 18 months, it is decided at a follow-up appointment whether a refresh makes sense. After that, further refreshes can be expected at intervals of three to six years so that the pigmentation is maintained.
Is scalp micropigmentation a tattoo?
No. The VHD procedure is based on the permanent make-up technique, in which the pigment is not introduced into the deeper layers of the skin. Unlike a tattoo, the pigments are broken down by the body after some time. The pigmentation is therefore not permanent and has to be refreshed.
What accompanying symptoms should I expect after scalp micropigmentation?
Slight redness may appear after the pigmentation, which usually subsides after a few days. Talk to us about the treatment method that is right for you and let us advise you on the possibilities and limits of SMP.

I am a lipoedema and lymphoedema patient and have been trying to find help for about 10 years. Here it was no problem at all! I was called in quickly, was well looked after, my questions were answered very professionally, and I was able to leave the practice in tears of joy! Many thanks for the support so far.

I had my appointment at the practice for a consultation about my lipoedema, and I really want to leave a review even though I haven't had any surgery there yet. The reason is that this was the first time I felt truly taken seriously during an examination of my lipoedema. Dr. Witt was very friendly and professional from the start, and at the same time incredibly pleasant and humane. He took an exceptional amount of time, examined me very thoroughly and answered all my questions in detail. He is incredibly respectful and explains realistically what could be done and how the whole process would work. I found it particularly positive that at no point did a hectic or unpleasant mood arise. You never had the feeling of being “brushed off” or being under time pressure. Instead, the whole atmosphere was calm, relaxed and trusting. Dr. Witt was very committed, photos were taken of the affected areas and every possible treatment was explained in an understandable way. Dr. Witt explained everything in detail, yet never came across as complicated or distant. Although he is an absolute specialist in his field, I felt at all times that I could speak openly and ask any question. It felt more as if I had been a patient there for a long time. It was also particularly important to me that I never felt pushed towards an operation. It is still not at all clear whether I will have my operation at all, and yet I was taken incredibly seriously and treated with respect. That is exactly what built so much trust in me. I would also very much like to mention the lady at reception, Marris, in a positive way. She was super polite, had a very pleasant and calm manner and immediately gave me a good feeling. Although it was almost 5 p.m. and the end of the working day was approaching, she was incredibly friendly to me and did not seem at all annoyed or stressed. It is precisely such little things that make a huge difference to me personally and reinforced my positive overall impression of the practice. The practice itself is also absolutely impressive. It is extremely modern, high-quality and stylishly furnished. You feel more as if you are entering a luxury hotel than a traditional doctor's practice. Everything seems very well thought out, calm and professional. The organisation around the appointment was also excellent. Even before the appointment, communication was always very friendly, quick and professional. Questions were answered immediately and the whole process seemed perfectly organised. I was also allowed to park in the clinic's car park, which was an enormous relief since everything in the area was completely full. Although it was already later in the afternoon, Dr. Witt even personally saw to it that enquiries were made internally about my question regarding costs. Shortly after I had left the practice, I already received all the information by email. That too simply shows how professionally and attentively they work there. Overall, an exceptionally positive experience, of a kind you unfortunately only rarely have in the medical field. Absolutely fabulous.

Everything was great, just one small remark..... I didn't get any dinner/bread in the evening. The most important thing for me was the operation, or rather everything around it.

I was welcomed and advised incredibly kindly. The consultation takes place on an equal footing and without medical jargon, and what I like best is that they paid attention to what the best treatment is for my concern, and not to what would earn the practice the most money. I took a week to think it over, but actually the decision to choose the clinic was made much sooner.

I had a consultation and felt taken seriously and understood. They took a lot of time for me, and the examination and the conversation were very thorough. In the end, the treatment is too expensive for me, so I won't be able to have it done.

I really liked the super friendly manner of the ladies at reception, and also that the doctor took the time to see and advise me, as well as the nice lady who went through the cost plan with me.

I was welcomed very nicely. The doctor was also very nice and answered all my questions. She also showed understanding that one does not decide straight away.
