Scalp
Micropigmentation
For SCARRING

Scalp scarring can occur for a multitude of reasons including accidents, medical procedures and the effects left behind from hair transplants. But no matter the reasons behind the scar, learning to live with them on a daily basis is, quite frankly, difficult. Every look in the mirror will be a reminder & albeit some learn to live with their personal markings, others obviously struggle. Scars are often a reminder of traumatic events and when they’re on the scalp they’re particularly visible to the outside world.

Scalp Micropigmentation is particularly effective for concealing scars which deems it as the treatment that’s a real game changer to the life of the sufferer. Because the procedure is gentle and non-invasive it can also be considered as safe. Particular care is taken when administering SMP on scars owing to the delicate nature of the tissue, and it’s this razor-sharp precision being key to its success.

How does smp work
For SCARRING?

Scalp Micropigmentation is a revolutionary procedure that works in a similar way to tattooing. Carefully selected natural pigments are administered using a microneedle in a series of tiny dots at the secondary dermis level into the skin. These pigments are, thereafter, trapped underneath the skin providing an indelible marking that is tantamount to that of a tattoo. Particular attention is taken to ensure the pigment is correctly implanted ensuring the marking doesn’t migrate, resulting in blurring & discoloration.

Whenever Scalp Micropigmentation is used as a treatment for scar camouflage it’s crucial that you choose the right technician. It’s not only an emotional procedure it’s also a highly technical one. Concealing scars with SMP requires acute precision, involving damaged tissue alongside undamaged. Different pigments will need to be selected to work alongside these skin differences whilst taking into account the close proximities of the said contrasts.

scars and smp –
what are the risks?

Scalp scars are a seriously emotional business and because of the sensitive nature, it’s normal to ask questions pertaining to risks with scalp scars and SMP. In essence, there are no risks involved in the treatment of Scalp Micropigmentation. The treatment is a permanent one and has the ability to change the life of a scar sufferer immeasurably. However, if you’re looking to establish risk factors – it’s your choice of technician where you’ll find the differences.

Working with scar concealment is an exceedingly precise science as scar tissue is different from previously undamaged skin. Scar sites are tougher than those sites without damage and they also have a tendency to be uneven. Pigment hold will be different and the proximities involved will be often minuscule. Albeit Scalp Micropigmentation is an incredibly effective solution for scar camouflaging, the intensity of the procedure is complex. Your SMP technician will need to make precision judgments throughout the procedure and has very little room for error. A badly chosen technician can result in a procedure that makes scarring aesthetically worse over better which is why extreme care is key.
