The Technique

Learn how scalp micropigmentation can help you

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that can be used to camouflage scars on the scalp. The treatment involves using a specialized tattooing technique to implant small dots of pigment into the scalp, creating the appearance of hair follicles.

SMP can be an effective solution for patients who have scars from hair transplant surgery, injury, or other causes. The technique can be used to match the color and texture of the patient’s existing hair, creating a natural-looking result.

The SMP procedure typically involves multiple sessions, with each session lasting several hours. During the procedure, the provider will use a small, handheld instrument to deposit the pigment into the scalp. The procedure may be uncomfortable, but most patients report minimal pain or discomfort.

After the SMP procedure, patients may experience some redness, swelling, or discomfort in the treated area. These side effects typically subside within a few days. It’s important to follow the provider’s aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible outcome.

SMP can be a long-lasting solution for scar camouflage, with results lasting for several years or more. However, touch-up sessions may be required to maintain the desired look.

It’s important to choose a qualified and experienced SMP provider to ensure the best possible outcome. Patients should also have realistic expectations about the results of the procedure, as SMP may not completely eliminate the appearance of scars but can significantly reduce their visibility.

FAQs

Questions & Answers about our scalp micro-pigmentation (SMP) treatment

What is scalp micropigmentation (SMP)?

Scalp micropigmentation is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves the use of tiny needles to deposit pigment into the scalp to create the appearance of a fuller head of hair. SMP can be used to conceal baldness, scars, or thinning hair.

Is SMP suitable for everyone?

SMP is suitable for most people who are experiencing hair loss, but it’s best to consult with a licensed SMP practitioner to determine if you’re a good candidate. Some factors that may make SMP unsuitable for certain individuals include severe skin conditions, certain medical conditions, and allergies to pigment.

Is SMP painful?

Most people report that SMP is not particularly painful. However, some people may experience discomfort during the procedure, especially in more sensitive areas of the scalp. SMP practitioners can use topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort during the procedure.

How long does SMP last?

SMP can last for several years before requiring touch-ups. The longevity of SMP depends on a variety of factors, such as the quality of the pigment, the skill of the practitioner, and how well the individual cares for their scalp after the procedure.

What is the recovery time for SMP?

There is usually no downtime associated with SMP, and most people are able to resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, it’s important to avoid exposing the scalp to direct sunlight, excessive sweating, and other irritants for a few days following the procedure to promote healing.

What is the cost of SMP?

The cost of SMP can vary widely depending on the geographic location, the experience of the practitioner, and the extent of the procedure. On average, SMP can cost anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars.

How do I find a qualified SMP practitioner?

To find a qualified SMP practitioner, it’s important to do your research and choose a practitioner who is licensed and experienced in performing the procedure. You can start by reading online reviews and checking the practitioner’s qualifications and certifications. It’s also a good idea to schedule a consultation with the practitioner to discuss your options and ensure that you feel comfortable with the practitioner’s approach.

Can SMP be reversed?

SMP can be removed or corrected, but the process can be time-consuming and costly. It’s best to choose a qualified SMP practitioner and carefully consider your options before undergoing the procedure.

What are the risks associated with SMP?

SMP is generally considered safe, but there are some risks associated with the procedure, including infection, allergic reactions, and scarring. These risks can be minimized by choosing a qualified SMP practitioner and following proper aftercare instructions.

Can SMP be used to create the appearance of a buzz cut?

Yes, SMP can be used to create the appearance of a buzz cut or shaved head by depositing pigment at a very short length. This can be a good option for individuals who prefer a low-maintenance hairstyle or who have receding hairlines.

" This review is for my mom who doesn't have a yelp. I wish we had taken a before picture, but she was too embarrassed. She still has hair but it is thinning and very blonde right in the front. Cisco did such a good job! She said it didn't hurt and also that he was so nice. I couldn't believe how great it looks. It now looks as though she has dark roots growing. She is actually wanting to go back to do more. We highly recommend Redlands SMP. It seems like something that might be scary, but it really is worth it!"
