Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a cosmetic tattoo procedure where natural pigment is applied to the epidermal layer of the scalp via a needle with the aim to add density and replicate the appearance of natural hair follicles. By camouflaging the surface area of the scalp where hair loss has already occurred, it helps to create a new hairline for the client.
Micro pigmentation is a popular cosmetic procedure for men and women of all skin types who suffer from alopecia or hair loss. Most commonly, Micropigmentation is used to enhance the shape of eyebrows to improve definition. The same process is applied to the scalp as the smudge-free hair loss solution lasts for years to help restore confidence and self-esteem.
SMP is a great hair loss treatment for those who have experienced any form of hair loss including:
> Alopecia areata
> Thinning hair
> Male and female pattern baldness
While it does not cure the cause of hair loss, in conjunction with existing hair, it can help to create the look of a shaved full head of hair.
As well as the obvious boost to a client’s confidence, SMP treatment also offers a way to cover any surgery scars from past procedures. For example, if a client has previously had a hair transplant procedure that brought with it a few complications, SMP can be carried out in order to help camouflage any scars and imperfections.
During your initial consultation, our experienced technicians will help you prep for the procedure and will let you know what you need to prepare ahead of time.
After the final treatment, you may be asked to take certain precautions such as:
- Not swimming
- Avoid saunas and steam rooms for 28 days after the final procedure
- Avoid strenuous exercise for five days after the final treatment
Although the effects of hair pigmentation can be noticed immediately, for optimum results, around 2-3 sessions/treatments will be required with a practitioner after the initial consultation. Each session is carried out within a sterile, comfortable environment ensuring that the patient’s experience is a positive one, meaning clients are assured that their results will be of high quality.
