Scalp micropigmentation is a ground-breaking and innovative treatment that is transforming the hair restoration industry daily. Also known by its abridged version, SMP, it doesn’t promote new hair growth, like transplants and medication, but instead, conceals the problem at hand. But how does scalp micropigmentation work? And what do you really need to know before taking the plunge and booking your first SMP appointment?
What is Scalp Micropigmentation?
Scalp micropigmentation is a cosmetic treatment that covers up the damaging effects hair loss brings. It works by a trained SMP artist implanting natural pigments lightly underneath the skin’s waterproof surface. This is carried out using a machine that has been fitted with a microneedle.
The pigments are administered in a series of tiny dots across the scalp that represent imitation hair follicles. Once the treatment has healed, you are left with a look, in the case of pattern baldness, that is tantamount to that of the iconic buzz-cut.
How Long Do SMP Treatments Last?
Because treatment is only lightly administered underneath the epidermis layer of your skin and doesn’t penetrate deeply into the Dermis, over time fading will happen. This usually occurs after three to five years provided the treatment is correctly administered. In addition, to ensure the longevity of treatment aftercare routines should be carefully respected and adhered to.
Does Scalp Micropigmentation Look Fake?
Absolutely not. The idea behind the treatment is to achieve an appearance that is indistinguishable to that of an ultimate natural hairline. It isn’t a statement look and returning to your normal daily lifestyle with the minimum of fuss is key.
What Hair Loss Conditions are Suited to Scalp Micropigmentation?
There are several different conditions that scalp micropigmentation can treat. Anyone suffering from the following conditions is potentially eligible to reap the benefits of SMP :
- Pattern baldness is probably the number one reason people search for scalp micropigmentation treatments. Working for both men and women alike, the result is an appearance of the iconic buzz-cut for men or underlying shading in the case of diffuse thinning for either male or female clients.
- Also known as patch baldness, alopecia is a condition affecting many and can attack at any age. Working through the existing hairline, a technician will administer pigments to conceal the devastating effects of this confidence-crushing disorder.
- An ideal solution for any who has received chemotherapy or radiation treatment. It works by bridging the gap between hair loss and regrowth.
- SMP is truly revolutionary in concealing the linear aspects of scars and blemishes. Using carefully selected pigments of varying colors, they are implanted with a razor-sharp precision across damaged tissue resulting in a seamlessly polished finish.
