Scalp micropigmentation treatments are a camouflage hair loss solution for men and women. For most treatments on men, SMP® involves replicating the appearance of shaven hair, by introducing thousands of tiny pigment deposits into the epidermis of the scalp.

This remarkable hair restoration technique can be applied to a much wider range of hair loss variations than hair transplant surgery or other traditional hair loss remedies can. From general balding to the hairline recession, to burn or surgery related hair loss, and of course alopecia (most commonly alopecia areata); SMP shows promising results. It can be also utilized to conceal hair transplant scars or blemishes as a result of trauma to the head. The method can even be adapted to blend noticeable birthmarks into the scalp.

When it comes to any hair restoration treatment, there are always potential side-effects. Scalp micropigmentation offers no exception to this rule, with many of the most prominent physical side-effects similar to those associated with standard tattooing.

• • You may experience soreness for a period following each treatment session, while your scalp may also be susceptible to continued bleeding and scabbing.

 

• • In less severe cases, you may also experience itchiness on and around the affected areas, and this may cause significant irritation over a sustained period of time.

 

• • A common side-effect of many types of surgery, post-surgical edema is essentially the build-up of fluid that causes swelling following surgery.

 

• • Hair thinning in the treated area is common, which may cause concern for patients who are wary of losing hair in one area of the body just to remedy hair loss in another.

 

• • Lichen Planopilaris (LLP) is an inflammatory hair disorder that results in excessive scar tissue forming in the transplanted area.

 

• • You may experience numbness post the treatment. It is usually a temporary side-effect that fades over time as the body adjusts to the transplant.

 

• • Typically appearing in the recipient area following extensive transplant activity, cysts can vary in size and will often be purple in color. These cysts are usually benign and will disappear after two or three weeks.

 

Key Takeaway
