Scalp Micropigmentation

So What Is SMP?

The modern hair loss solution

Hair loss has been a constant issue for men and women for years. Unfortunately, there is no cure for hair loss, but there is a solution.

SMP (scalp micropigmentation) has become the world’s leading hair loss solution, helping people restore their hairline and confidence worldwide. Using a cosmetic handheld machine, pigment is deposited into the scalp to mimic the natural hair follicles and create the look of very short shaved hair. This technique can be used on men, women, those suffering alopecia, and those with scalp scarring.

For men, scalp micropigmentation can give them the look of a full head of closely shaved hairs, giving the appearance of a buzzcut. Men most commonly suffer from hair loss due to male pattern baldness, a genetic condition that has affected men for generations as they mature. Male pattern baldness is measured using the Norwood scale to determine the extent of the hair loss and what areas need to be covered during the treatment.

SMP FOR woMEN

hair loss for women can be devastating

Hair loss for women is far less common than for men, but that does not mean that it is not happening. Women tend to pay much more attention to their appearance than men, which is why it is so devastating for them when they begin to notice hair loss. Women, like men, also can suffer from pattern hair loss. They do not usually experience complete hair loss like men do but instead start to notice their hair is thinning and their scalp becomes more noticeable. You may not think this is common, but many women manage to hide these symptoms due to hairpieces, wigs, and hairstyles.

With scalp micropigmentation, we can implant the pigment between the existing hair follicles to reduce the contrast between the hair and the scalp and leave clients with thick, fuller-looking hair while helping them regain some of their confidence.

The only alopecia

solution

Alopecia is a well-known autoimmune disease that causes unexpected hair loss. Unfortunately, there is no cure for alopecia and sufferers have to wait and see whether the hair grows back or if the alopecia will progress to more severe symptoms. The most common alopecia we see is alopecia areata; this is where the hair loss appears in small coin-sized patches on the scalp. These patches can connect, creating a more extensive balding area. With scalp micropigmentation, we can conceal the patches and help the clients appear to have a full head of hair, even if they are experiencing total hair loss.

SMP FOR Scarring

FUT & FUE Scarring Covered

An injury or surgery usually causes the main reasons why someone may have a scalp scar. The most common surgical scars we see on the scalp are that of hair transplant donor areas. There are two different types of hair transplant scars, FUE and FUT.

FUE is follicular unit extraction, which involves removing tiny individual grafts from the scalp’s back or side, creating many small individual scars.

FUT is where the grafts are removed altogether in strip formations. FUT will leave a strip scar in the donor area (as you can see in the picture to the right).

By using the scalp micropigmentation technique, the scars can almost be camouflaged entirely in amongst the existing hair follicles by implanting pigment in and around the scarred area. Not only does scalp micropigmentation conceal the scars, but the technique can also contribute to restoring some health to the injured skin.
