Is SMP right for me - here are the facts!

What is Scalp Micropigmentation?


Scalp micropigmentation is a cosmetic procedure that uses tattooing to create the appearance of hair. It's often used by men and women who have lost their hair due to illness or medication, but it can also be used to cover scars on your scalp.\

In this procedure, an artist draws individual hairs onto your skin with an inkjet machine. The ink is injected into the dermis layer of your skin, which makes it permanent and resistant to UV rays (sunlight). The pigment is placed in tiny dots close together so they look like natural strands of hair growing out from your scalp.


The Benefits of Scalp Micropigmentation


Scalp micropigmentation is a non-invasive procedure that uses pigment to create the appearance of hair. The results are long-lasting, natural-looking and cost effective.


Who Should Consider Scalp Micropigmentation


If you are experiencing balding, thinning hair or alopecia and are looking to hide the appearance of your scalp, scalp micropigmentation may be right for you.\

If you have had hair transplant surgery and want to cover up any scarring or irregularities left behind by the procedure, scalp micropigmentation could also be a good option.


The Process of Scalp Micropigmentation


The process of scalp micropigmentation involves the following steps:


* Consultation. During this consultation, you will meet with a hair loss specialist who will discuss your options and help you determine whether scalp micropigmentation is right for you.

* Procedure. The procedure usually takes around two to three hours to complete, but some patients may require more time depending on the amount of coverage required.

* Post-procedure care: After getting your new look, it's important to follow these guidelines so that your tattoo looks its best at all times: - Do not wash or scrub your head until after 24 hours have passed since having gotten it done; - Avoid swimming pools/hot tubs/saunas/steam rooms; - Do not use any types of hair products (shampoos etc.) other than those recommended by our team; - Avoid direct sunlight exposure for at least one week after having gotten this treatment done because UV rays can cause fading in some cases (this depends on each person);

The Cost of Scalp Micropigmentation


The cost of scalp micropigmentation is a major factor in deciding whether or not to get it done. The price varies depending on several factors, including:

* The number of sessions needed for completion (the more sessions you need, the higher your overall cost)

* Your location (the closer you are to an artist's studio, the less travel expenses)


Scalp micropigmentation can save you money by reducing or eliminating future hair transplants and/or medications that may be necessary if you have alopecia areata or other forms of hair loss.


Choosing a Provider for Scalp Micropigmentation


When choosing a provider for scalp micropigmentation, it is important to research their work and ask for references. You can also read reviews online from other customers who have had their hair loss treated with scalp micropigmentation.

The most reputable providers will have plenty of photos showing the results they achieve with this procedure, as well as before-and-after photos so you can see what your own results may look like.


FAQs About Scalp Micropigmentation

The longevity of your scalp micropigmentation depends on the person, but it is generally a semi-permanent procedure.
