Although the results of Scalp Micropigmentation can last for many years, the process isn’t permanent. Depending on the amount of hair you’re losing and your lifestyle, you’ll need to have touch-up sessions every two to three years. Generally, the treatment will last from two to eight years, though this varies. It’s essential to moisturize your scalp daily and avoid the sun as much as possible.

A licensed Scalp Micropigmentation practitioner should be well-trained. These practitioners may work at a dermatologist’s office or a medspa. They’ll know what pigment to use and how to match it to your skin tone. Before your appointment, make sure your scalp is clean and avoid alcohol. It’s also essential to check the procedure’s success rate. You may want to see some before-and-after photos of the procedure.

People who have hair transplants can use Scalp Micropigmentation to cover up thinning hair. It helps with hair density by covering a large area of the scalp. This procedure also creates an illusion of hair density by injecting pigment between existing hairs. Because this process uses natural ingredients, it can be safe and effective for people with hair loss. It is recommended to have Scalp Micropigmentation treatments at least 12 months after a hair transplant to give you the best results.

The process of Scalp Micropigmentation is not unlike that of hair tattooing. The only difference between a tattoo and a scalp micropigmentation is that the former requires no surgical procedures, no downtime, and scars. It can even be used as a hair restoration procedure since the results are permanent. In addition to providing a natural-looking look, Scalp Micropigmentation can also help those with hair loss regain their confidence and self-image.

As with tattooing, SMP requires extensive scalp knowledge and its diseases. A level 4 qualification from a recognized body would be appropriate for this type of tattooing. The training would not be appropriate if the practitioner were trained to perform the procedure on other body parts. The professional body requires a level four qualification in the technique of a Scalp Micropigmentation practitioner. This qualification is equivalent to a diploma in tattooing.

SMP is a popular cosmetic tattooing procedure that uses a natural pigment on the scalp. The pigment is intended to replicate hair follicles and provide a fuller head of hair for the client. Many people have hair loss due to genetics or alopecia, and Scalp Micropigmentation provides them with a natural-looking hairline. The technique has become extremely popular and is a natural hair restoration solution and can also be used as a confidence booster.

While Scalp Micropigmentation has numerous advantages over hair transplants, most procedures are limited to the donor’s hair. Some people don’t qualify for a hair transplant, and the scars left by FUE or strip scar surgery can be visible and leave patients with insecurity. Scalp Micropigmentation can prevent these scarring issues by concealing the scars, enabling the patient to choose a style that matches their lifestyle and personal needs.

To avoid pigment bleeding, most practitioners prefer laser treatment. The laser treatment itself requires two to four sessions. Although the treatment is still stressful for the operator, this minimizes pigment bleeding. The procedure can also involve several different pigments, such as red or pink. This procedure may take a few weeks, so it is best to plan your treatment. The cost of Scalp Micropigmentation can be significantly less than other types of hair removal.

Although Scalp Micropigmentation is a permanent procedure, touch-ups may be necessary for the long run. It is important to remember that your hair color should match your scalp pigment color. You’ll need to dye your hair if it grays after a few months. So, it’s important to consider all the risks before deciding on Scalp Micropigmentation. However, it can be worth it for the results!
