What is Scalp Micropigmentation?
SMP (scalp micro pigmentation) is a type of cosmetic tattooing. The ultra-realistic scalp micro-pigmentation ink mimics hair follicles that are ready to sprout, giving the appearance of a newly shaven head. It is a safe, effective, and non-surgical alternative to hair loss.
This technique may be used on the entire scalp, hair loss regions, balding areas (male pattern baldness), bald patches, scars, and even hairlines. SMP is also an excellent method for making thin sections of hair appear thicker. SMP may be used for both short and long hair.
Scalp Micropigmentation is the most effective hair loss treatment for both men and women. This non-surgical precision method, which has been proved to be safe and effective, duplicates the look of natural hair follicles and gives customers the impression of a neatly shaved scalp. Scalp Micropigmentation, often known as a hair tattoo, provides the illusion of a full head of hair eternally.
What are the advantages of scalp micropigmentation?
SMP has several advantages. It’s an excellent method for creating the impression of hair in a very subtle, natural way. Our team consists of highly experienced technicians who utilize specialized tools, inks, and methods to achieve an invisible finish. There’s no need to be concerned about existing hair being damaged because our needles only penetrate the top dermis of the skin.
It is also a low-maintenance therapy with long-term effects. Your technician will give you some aftercare instructions, which you should follow for a few days before returning to your usual routine. Your effects will then persist for years, making it a low-cost, no-hassle therapy.
SMP For Scars from Hair Transplants:
FUE and FUT are the two most prevalent types of transplant scars. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) results in a smattering of ‘dot’ scars that generally extends from ear to ear depending on the volume of the donor’s hair utilized. In our opinion, they are the easiest scars to conceal and provide the greatest results since they lay flat, allowing us to integrate them into your current hair. After three or four sessions of Scalp Micro Pigmentation, excellent results are generally obtained.
Combining Hair Transplantation and Scalp Micropigmentation:
The easiest approach to obtain a beautiful look is to combine your hair transplant with SMP. A hair transplant may restore a significant volume of hair to your head, whereas SMP tattoos can conceal the scars caused by this therapy. If you’re going to invest in a hair transplant, you’ll want to be satisfied with the outcomes. Nobody wants to undergo hair transplant surgery just to be concerned about noticeable scars. You’ll obtain natural coverage all over with scalp micropigmentation. SMP tattoos will provide the appearance of full hair where hair does not grow.
Scar SMP for FUT scars:
FUT is an abbreviation for Follicular Unit Transplant. If you’ve had one of these, you may have noticed visible linear scars. Scars from Follicular Unit Transplants are generally rather big, and they are usually only totally covered if you let your hair grow quite long to cover them. Scalp micropigmentation is another possibility for these scars. Small tattoos will conceal your scars and help them mix in with the rest of your hair. You may enjoy your new appearance without worrying about strip scars using SMP for FUT scars.
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) generally results in a strip scar that is elevated to different degrees. These scars will conceal with various degrees of effectiveness, and customers must realize that because of the nature of these scars, we cannot guarantee the desired outcomes. Results may take longer to accomplish as we gradually build up layers of scalp pigmentation to conceal the scar region.
Scar SMP for FUE Scars:
FUE, or Follicular Unit Extraction, is a less invasive method of hair transplantation. It is frequently marketed as a scar-free therapy; however, this is not always the case. You may have little dotted scars on your scalp if you’ve undergone a hair transplant. Though FUE scars are difficult to detect, they might cause you to feel self-conscious. Even if they are minor, these scars can have a detrimental influence on your image. Fortunately, with SMP, these scars are easily concealed. FUE scars, which are tiny in size and readily blended with tattoos that match your hair color, maybe easily concealed using scalp micropigmentation.
If you’ve previously had a hair transplant but are still experiencing density difficulties, you can have a mix of transplant and SMP treatment done to improve your new look. The crown and front hairline are the most often affected regions. The distinction with this procedure is that the skin can nearly be scarred where the donor’s hair was implanted. This might occasionally necessitate several treatments to obtain the desired outcomes.
A successful hair transplant will almost certainly cost you a lot of money. This is a significant decision that will have long-term aesthetic consequences. When your transplant surgery is over, you’ll be eager to show off your new hair. Residual scarring might influence your self-image and the end outcome. If you want to hide your hair transplant scars, try combining your transplant with SMP. Tiny scalp tattoos, which may be matched to your hair color for a seamless mix, can be used to modify the color of your scars. Anyone who sees your thick new hair will be unable to detect any scars.
Frequently Asked Questions
SMP may help with alopecia, thinning hair, pattern baldness, hairline repair, and other hair loss issues. It gives the illusion of hair follicles or a slight stubble, making it ideal for recreating the image of a newly shaven head.
When having SMP with short hair, it is assumed that there is already existing hair on the scalp, therefore the color will be built up to match up your hair color so it appears entirely natural throughout the procedure. There is no need to be concerned about the color fading or changing since we utilize carbon-based pigment that is diluted to match your skin tone.
In contrast to hair transplant procedures, the outcomes of scalp micropigmentation are immediate. Following the treatment, you may have some pain and redness, however, this should subside within 1 to 2 days depending on your skin type. The treated area must dry heal for four days following treatment, so avoid getting it wet with water, lotions, perspiration, or other liquids. You will be given complete aftercare to ensure that you obtain the greatest possible result from your procedure, with benefits that will last for years.

The price of scalp micropigmentation may increase. This is determined by four major criteria.
Treatment area: The majority of those who choose this treatment to have male pattern baldness (MPB). The Norwood Scale is used to assess the degree of baldness. According to this scale, there are seven phases of baldness, the first of which is the baseline (no hair loss is recorded).
Skin type: Artists use various techniques for different types of skin. Excessively dry, flaky, or aged skin, for example, needs a greater level of dedication, as well as additional care and effort. The same is true for extremely sensitive skin, damaged skin, or skin covered with acne or moles. Aside from that, excessively thick skin may necessitate particular care. Because of this, you should talk with your artist ahead of time to determine whether your skin is sensitive and whether it will impact the pricing.
Scarring: The existence of scarring might significantly raise the cost of your procedure. Hair does not grow over scar tissue, making scalp micropigmentation a difficult process. Even though it is not a tough task, it has a significant impact on the procedure’s cost. Lighter scars, on the other hand, are easier to remove.
Hairstyle and density: Finally, the cost of scalp micropigmentation is determined by your hair density and desired style. If you want to imitate more hair follicles, the price will be greater than for those who merely want to maintain their density.
Do I need a consultation?
Yes, we recommend that you book a complimentary consultation with us. Our skilled practitioners know that you may have worries both before and after the procedure. Your practitioner will review your skin type as well as any problems, such as psoriasis, that may need to be resolved before treatment can begin. You will be given an estimate of how long each treatment will take, how to care for the region, and whether or not repeat procedures will be required to obtain the best potential result.
