WHAT IS SCALP MICRO PIGMENTATION

SMP

Scalp micropigmentationis a non-surgical procedure used as a remedy for thinning hair, receding hairline, and baldness. It involves the application of pigments on the scalp (similar to the application of a tattoo) that resembles the appearance of real hair follicles that are growing in the skin. The procedure, which is also called “hair tattoo”, is beneficial for all cases of hair loss or thinning hair, regardless of the cause.It is important for patients to have the right expectations regarding the procedure. A scalp micropigmentationwill not cause hair to grow back. Instead, it will create the appearance of growing hair.

HOW IS SMP PERFORMED

PROCEDURE

A scalp micropigmentation treatment requires 2 to 3 outpatient sessions that are spaced a week apart. Each session takes a couple of hours depending on the size of the treatment area . To create a natural, realistic appearance, specialists carefully select the correct color and density that will achieve the best results. If the patient has existing hair, they also make sure that the results blend seamlessly with real hair . To apply the treatment, the physician will first choose the correct needle group, the right penetration depth, and the appropriate needle angle to use. He then mixes the correct pigment color that will blend well with the patient’s scalp or existing hair. Using the selected needle, he delivers specialized pigments into specific areas of the scalp, carefully forming the correct shape.

WHO SHOULD UNDER GO

ALL MEN AND WOMEN

Scalp micropigmentation  is recommended for individuals with  Scars,  Alopecia,

Thinning hair, Receding hairlines, and Baldness.  The procedure can be performed on both men and women.

RISK AND COMPLICATIONS

NONE

IT IS NORMAL FOR PATIENTS TO EXPERIENCE SOME REDNESS IN THE AREA WHERE THE PIGMENTS ARE APPLIED AND THIS USUALLY LINGERS WITHIN 2 TO 4 HOURS FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURE. OTHER THAN THIS, THE TREATMENT HAS NO KNOWN SIDE EFFECTS, MAKING IT SAFER THAN SURGICAL HAIR TRANSPLANTATION AND HAIR LOSS MEDICATIONS . THE ONLY RISK ASSOCIATED WITH SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION IS A POSSIBLE ALLERGIC REACTION TO THE PIGMENTS OR ANY OF THE OTHER INSTRUMENTS AND MATERIALS USED IN THE PROCEDURE. THUS, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT IT IS PERFORMED BY A TRUSTED AND ACCREDITED CLINIC THAT MEETS ALL HYGIENE AND SANITATION STANDARDS . HOWEVER, SINCE THE PROCEDURE IS FAIRLY NEW, NOT MUCH IS KNOWN REGARDING ITS LONG-TERM EFFECTS. SO FAR, HOWEVER, MOST PATIENTS WHO HAVE UNDERGONE THE PROCEDURE REPORT ONLY POSITIVE RESULTS.
