Scalp Micropigmentation ( SMP)
What is Scalp Micropigmentation?
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses micro-needles to deposit pigment into the scalp. This process creates the appearance of tiny hair follicles, giving the illusion of a fuller head of hair. SMP is an effective solution for hair loss, thinning hair, and bald spots, suitable for both men and women.
Benefits of Scalp Micropigmentation
- Natural Appearance:
SMP provides a realistic look of natural hair follicles, enhancing hair density and creating a fuller appearance.
- Non-Surgical:
Unlike hair transplant surgeries, SMP is non-invasive with minimal downtime, making it a safer and more affordable option.
- Quick Results:
Visible results are typically achieved after 2-3 sessions, with immediate improvement in appearance.
- Low Maintenance:
SMP requires minimal upkeep. Once completed, there’s no need for special shampoos or creams, just a regular hair care routine.
- Versatile Solution:
Suitable for various stages of hair loss, including receding hairlines, bald spots, thinning hair, and even full scalp coverage.
Ideal Candidates for Scalp Micropigmentation
- Individuals with thinning hair looking to add density.
- Those experiencing complete baldness or bald spots.
- People with scalp scars from hair transplant surgeries or injuries.
- Individuals seeking to enhance their hairline or create a more defined look.
The Scalp Micropigmentation Process
- Consultation:
A detailed consultation to assess your hair loss and discuss the desired outcome. The specialist will create a tailored plan to match your hair color and skin tone.
- Pigment Selection:
Choosing the right pigment shade to match your natural hair color and skin tone for a seamless look.
- Pigmentation Sessions:
Typically involves 2-3 sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Each session lasts a few hours, where the technician meticulously applies the pigment to create the desired density and appearance.
- Aftercare:
Post-procedure care includes avoiding excessive sweating, direct sunlight, and rigorous washing for a few days. Follow-up appointments ensure the best results.
Is Scalp Micropigmentation Permanent?
SMP is a semi-permanent solution, with results lasting 4-6 years. Touch-up sessions can maintain the desired look.
Does the Procedure Hurt?
The discomfort is minimal, similar to a mild scratching sensation. Numbing creams are used to enhance comfort during the procedure.
How Long is the Recovery Time?
There is no significant downtime. Most people resume normal activities within a day or two, with full healing taking about a week.
Can SMP Be Removed or Altered?
Yes, adjustments can be made during follow-up sessions, and laser treatments can remove the pigment if necessary.
