Scalp Micropigmentation

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) involves the application of ink to the scalp to create thousands of minute impressions that give the appearance of hair. Each impression resembles an individual hair follicle. The effect of this procedure is so realistic, low maintenance and attractive, that many people are choosing it even before they begin to experience thinning or baldness.

During the SMP process, a needle is used to deposit pigment in tiny dots within the upper layers of skin on the scalp. Each dot replicates an individually shaven hair follicle. When combined with thousands of other dots and blended with whatever real hair you have remaining, an illusion of a full head of shaven hair is created.

SMP is considered semi permanent. While the effects may last up to eight years, the treated area will fade overtime since all skin naturally exfoliates itself. The good news is that SMP can be added to and touched up with ease at any time.

It is a common misconception that SMP is only used to treat hair loss and balding. In fact, there are many uses for the procedure.

Thicken The Appearance of Hair:
Even though some people have not lost their hair, they would prefer that their hair is thicker. Fast making it appear that they have a full head of hair. SMP can provide that look whether a person has short hair, long hair or thinning hair.

Add Definition To The Hairline:
In addition to being able to restore a front hairline for full or partially bald heads, SNP can increase the definition of full front, side and rear hairlines. For those that prefer a shaved head look SMP can provide that look in addition to the look of a buzzcut.

Cosmetic Correction:
SMP is very effective at hiding scars and other skin defects. This includes scars from previous surgical procedures, accidents, burns and birthmarks. Also, it can be used to hide bald patches that appear after shaving the head and for fixing botched hair loss procedures.

OTHER BENEFITS OF SMP:
One of the primary benefits of SMP is simply that it can make a person look much younger which can boost a person’s self esteem. Other benefits include:

· No recovery time apart from some redness of the scalp after the procedure.
· Thickens the  appearance of hair and definition of the hairline
· Suited to all skin types and colours for both men and women.
· Very affordable when compared to other procedures like hair transplants.
· Uses no chemicals and requires no incisions or anaesthetic.
· Can typically be finished in 3-4 sessions.
