What Is Scalp Micropigmentation?

Scalp Micropigmentation is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure to mimic the appearance of natural hair. Using specialized pigments applied directly to the scalp. SMP creates little impressions that resemble hair follicles. These impressions simulate the look of actual hair, if you’re looking for the look of a fresh buzz cut, more hair density or even an add-on for thinning hair.

How Is SMP Different From Traditional Hair Restoration Treatments? While traditional hair restoration treatments, such as surgeries or medications, aim to grow hair, SMP aims to give an illusion of thick, luscious hair. It’s not designed to induce hair regrowth, but rather provides a super effective solution to “fill in the blanks” where hair is absent. 

For those with alopecia, this can assist in camouflaging bald spots or creating an illusion of uniformity around the scalp.

Why Scalp Micro Pigmentation is Perfect for Those Suffering from Alopecia?

Alopecia presents in various ways for different people. Some develop small, round patches of missing hair, and others experience total hair loss. Flexibility is what makes SMP stand out. Here’s why it’s emerging as a go-to solution for alopecia patients.

Fully Customizable

The body reacts differently in every case of alopecia. This is what makes SMP designed to suit the needs of each person. A technicians evaluate your scalp’s health and then tailors a treatment plan to your specific goals. They consider your natural hair color, texture, and skin tone for a natural and realistic look. From lightening the appearance of patches to providing a full scalp effect, SMP is customizable to your needs.

Long-Lasting Results

SMP is known for its durability, which is one of the best features of this treatment. SMP remains intact for years compared to temporary solutions, such as wigs or hair fibers. That means you don’t have to depend on daily fixes, giving you a wider range of freedom in daily life. Touch-ups may be required in the future, but the maintenance process is so much easier than other treatment options for hair loss.

Confidence Booster

More than your appearance, hair loss can also have an impact on your mental health. For many alopecia patients, it is an out-of-control situation when it comes to their appearance. SMP helps change that. It often helps people feel confident and comfortable in both personal and social settings by restoring the appearance of a full scalp. You can see the difference, and that is motivating and can boost your self-image.

Non-Surgical and Safe

SMP is a non-surgical treatment compared to Hair transplant, which is an invasive treatment. There’s no risk of scarring, recovery time or surgical risk. It’s a safer alternative when done by trained technicians. Patients can often resume their normal daily activities immediately after each treatment.

How Does SMP Work?

If you’ve never considered cosmetic options for treating alopecia, understanding the Scalp Micropigmentation process is important. Here’s a rundown of what you should expect from beginning to end.

Consultation

Book a consultation with an experienced SMP artist. In this consultation, you will talk about your goals, evaluate your hair loss, and devise a personal plan. When having the procedure done, the technician will guide you in choosing aspects such as pigmentation color and hairline design to produce the most realistic results. It’s also a chance to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

Pigment Application

Then come the treatment sessions, after the consultation. With one of those specialized tools, the technician deposits pigments in small dots all over your scalp, superimposing the look of natural hair follicles. Placement and detail are critical, and each result is handled with care to ensure that it looks realistic and matches nicely with your existing locks or tone.

Multiple Sessions

SMP is usually performed in 2–3 sessions with a few weeks’ intervals. It gives you the chance to build it up gradually, so the look never appears too heavy or unnatural. It also allows the scalp to heal in between sessions for maximum results.

SMP Aftercare

After your SMP sessions are done, the most important thing is your scalp. You’ll be directed to steer clear of direct sunlight, heavy sweating and rough hair products for a week or so. Proper aftercare will keep your results safe, allowing the pigments to settle nicely.
