What is SMP?
Scalp Micro Pigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to imitate the appearance of hair follicles on the scalp. It involves the use of specialized pigments and techniques to recreate the illusion of a fuller head of hair, making it an ideal option for individuals experiencing hair thinning or baldness.
Role of SMP
SMP plays a vital role in hair restoration and enhancement by addressing common concerns such as:
- Baldness: SMP can create a natural-looking hairline and add density to areas of baldness, giving the appearance of a full head of hair.
- Hair Thinning: For individuals with thinning hair, SMP can camouflage the scalp, reducing the visibility of the scalp through the hair
- Scalp Scars: SMP can also conceal scars from previous hair transplant surgeries or injuries, providing a more seamless and uniform scalp appearance.
How Does SMP Work?
The SMP procedure involves several key steps:
- Consultation: The process of SMP begins with a consultation with a trained SMP specialist. During this consultation, the specialist assesses the patient's scalp condition, discusses expectations, and develops a customized treatment plan.
- Pigment Selection: The specialist selects pigment colors that closely match the patient's natural hair color and skin tone to ensure a realistic outcome.
- Application:Using a specialized micro-needle or tattoo device, the pigment is deposited into the upper layer of the scalp, creating tiny dots or strokes that mimic the appearance of hair follicles.
- Layering Multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired density and coverage. The specialist strategically layers the pigment to create a natural-looking hairline and overall appearance.
- Follow-up Care: After the procedure, patients are advised on post-care instructions, including avoiding sun exposure and following a gentle skincare routine to promote healing and longevity of the SMP results.
