Before and after my client, Steve Bees first session.
Scalp micropigmentation is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves tattooing the scalp to create the appearance of a shaved head or fuller hair. It is commonly used to treat hair loss, thinning hair, or to camouflage scars or birthmarks on the scalp. The procedure involves injecting pigment into the scalp using specialized equipment and techniques. The pigment is matched to the client's hair color and skin tone to create a natural-looking result. The process is typically completed over several sessions, with each session lasting a few hours. Scalp micropigmentation is a long-lasting solution, but touch-up sessions may be required every few years to maintain the desired look. The procedure is generally safe, but like any tattooing process, there are risks of infection, allergic reactions, and dissatisfaction with the final result. It is important to consult with a qualified professional and carefully consider the potential benefits and drawbacks before undergoing this service.
Individuals with sensitive or thin skin may be more prone to experiencing a white halo after SMP. Additionally, the skin's healing process and reaction to the pigment can impact how the pigment settles.
