Tricopigmentation in Switzerland: How to Choose the Right Studio

Do you live in Switzerland and want a solution for your hair loss? The word tricopigmentation comes up often. Here is how to compare studios, which questions to ask and how to plan your visit to Geneva, even if you live far away.

Tricopigmentation in Switzerland: what does it mean?

The term tricopigmentation is often used as a synonym for scalp micropigmentation or SMP. The principle: very fine touches of pigment recreate the look of hair follicles on the scalp. For more detail, read our guide to tricopigmentation.

The technique involves no surgery and is suitable for both men and women. It can meet several needs: a shaved effect, a density effect on thinning hair, a redrawn hairline, visually reducing a scar or harmonising the look after a transplant. OneScalp performs micropigmentation, not hair transplants: for a transplant, please see a specialist doctor.

Which words to look for in each region

In French-speaking Switzerland, you will mostly see tricopigmentation, scalp micropigmentation or dermopigmentation. In German-speaking Switzerland, the usual word is Haarpigmentierung. Several names can describe the same family of techniques, so compare the work itself rather than the word on the page. Our guide to scalp micropigmentation explains the technique.

How to choose your studio in Switzerland

Look at real results

Ask for photos of real clients and look at the precision of the dots, the hairline and the shade. You can view our before and after results.

Check who performs the treatment

Ask who will look after you on the day of treatment and how much experience they have with this technique.

Ask how the shade is chosen

The pigment should be chosen according to your hair, your skin tone and the look you want. Take the time to discuss it before the treatment.

Ask for a clear quote

The price depends on your hair loss and the result you want. Find out what affects your quote before you compare offers.

Check that the plan matches what you want

A shaved effect, added density and a new hairline do not meet the same need. Explain what bothers you and what you would like to see in the mirror. The studio should tell you clearly what is realistic in your situation, without promising the same result for everyone.

Ask your questions before booking

That is also what the consultation is for. Ask how the hairline will be drawn, which areas will be treated, what aftercare advice you will receive and whether a touch-up is possible. At OneScalp, the consultation is free and aftercare advice is given before the treatment.

Coming to Geneva from anywhere in Switzerland

Our Geneva studio is at 8 rue Émile-Yung, close to the train station and the airport. It welcomes clients from all over Switzerland and abroad. The complete treatment takes one day, so you can plan your visit around a single date, even if you live in another canton.

Geneva or Paris: which studio should you choose?

If you live in Switzerland, Geneva is often the simplest choice. Our second studio is at 44 rue Jules Vanzuppe in Ivry-sur-Seine, on the edge of Paris. It may be convenient if you are already in the Paris area: take a look at our Paris studio. We welcome clients from all over Europe, and some come from Canada.

How the treatment works at OneScalp

After a free consultation, the hairline and shade are adapted to your face, skin tone and hair colour. The complete treatment then takes one day. A touch-up can be done about a month later, if needed.

How to prepare your quote request

To receive your quote, send us a photo with your first name, last name and phone number. Choose a sharp, well-lit photo so that we can see the area concerned.

Add a few words about your situation: what bothers you today, the look you want and when you could come to Geneva. This information helps us prepare a useful conversation during the consultation.

Planning your diary after the treatment

If you play sport, keep this in mind when choosing your date. We advise against any training or sweating for 4 days after the treatment. Light training can resume from day 5, and normal exercise 10 days after the treatment. Also avoid swimming for at least 30 days.

Sensitivity varies by area: the hairline and temples are generally more sensitive than the crown. To find out more about planning your visit, read our page on the one-day treatment.

What tricopigmentation does not do

Tricopigmentation does not make hair grow back and does not treat the cause of hair loss. Its effect is purely visual, and every result depends on the person. For any medical question, please see a doctor.
