No. It only camouflages the visible scalp with pigment thereby improving the see through effect or by giving a look of a crew cut. There is no transfer or increase in number of hair follicles.

2) How long does it take to do the procedure?

Its a day care procedure which does not require any hospitalisation. Depending upon the area covered it might take 2-3hrs for half scalp sessions and 4 to 5 hrs to complete a full scalp session.

3) Is it permanent or does it require any maintainance?

The color of the tattoo pigment remains for a variable period ranging from 3 to 5years and then a retouch up of the pigment might be required.
