What is scalp micro-pigmentation (or SMP)?
SMP is a form of less invasive scalp tattoo also called Tricho-pigmentation that can be used on both men and women to camouflage areas of the scalp that are thinning.
It is a non-surgical procedure where a carbon pigment is modified to suit the hair and skin colour of the patient and then applied in many dots in close proximity to replicate hair follicles. Doing so, gives the appearance of a closely shaven head or a denser head of hair in those who have longer hair. It is also used to camouflage scars very effectively.
As opposed to a normal tattoo the pigment is deposited at a shallower depth in the dermal layer. To do this, specialist needles (designed purposefully for SMP) and specialist methods are used by a trained licenced SMP Technician.
Can SMP help me?
SMP is used to camouflage all types of hair loss and burns or scarring in Men and Women of all ages, the illusion of a full head of hair is created for those who have a shaven head or for those with longer hair, although the technique is the same, the pigment is applied between existing hairs so as to create a shadow.
It can also be used in addition to transplant surgery to further allude density or blend in an FUT line (a line made from where donor hair is taken from) after healing.
SMP is an instant confident boost, and a great non-invasive alternative to a hair transplant, it is a permanent solution to hair loss which offers instant results.
