What is SMP? - Scalp Micro Pigmentation
SMP - Scalp Micro Pigmentation, also known as a medical tattoo, is a permanent treatment, created for people who suffer from hair loss. Micropigmentation is recognised as the most effective hair loss treatment because its results are visible immediately after the 1st session and the process is much less expensive than a hair transplant. SMP has many advantages :
- prompt results
- great value for money
- natural results - no visible difference between hair and SMP
-no side effects
-a little discomfort, compared with transplantation
-you can go back to work the day after the session
-SMP could be your permanent hair loss solution with only gentle touch-up after 3-6 years to refresh the look of SMP. During this advanced process, the SMP pigment is injected into the skin by Microneedles forming the illusion of hair follicles all over the hair loss area. SMP treatment gives a fuller hairstyle effect for those whose hair is thin or receding and revitalises the front hairline and density for those with advanced baldness or complete baldness. Scalp Micropigmentation works for both men and women and various types of hair loss including Alopecia, thinning hair, receding hair, crown hair loss, male pattern baldness, scars, post-transplant scars, genetic or stress-related hair loss. A professional SMP technician will provide a detailed examination of the client’s skin condition before the treatment and explain the predicted outcome. During the 1st session, the pigment is patiently implemented all over the hair loss area with the low-density application. After this, the skin is left untouchable for a few days. The healing time depends on the skin condition and personal abilities to heal. The average waiting time for the next session is around 7 days. The second treatment session is more intense due to the higher micro-pigmentation density. SMP is very flexible, any subtle changes to the shade of the pigment or the shape of the hairline can be adjusted within this session. Healing time after this session is slightly longer - around 10 days. When the skin is fully healed practitioner will work with the final touches in the 3rd session. For the best results of smp and its longevity, it is necessary to follow the Short Term Aftercare advice between sessions and Long Term Aftercare given by the technician. After the healing of the final treatment session, SMP should not be recognisable. It means there will be no visible difference between existing hair and smp. That is why choosing the right specialist is essential if you are looking to achieve the most natural SMP effects.
