Scalp Micropigmentation, or SMP, is a treatment / procedure, that is suitable for all stages of hair loss as well as all genders, ethnicities and creeds. The treatment can also be performed on people of all ages from the age of 18. It is a treatment for male pattern baldness, thinning hair on both men and women, scar camouflage, as we effectively conceal FUT and FUE transplant scars. SMP can be used on both completely bald heads and can be used to add density to thinning hair. When performing a density fill, we always inform potential clients prior to the beginning of the treatments that SMP only covers the area that they are suffering with hair loss. Should they lose more hair, they would need to book in another appointment to add more density in the new areas of hair loss. We always query the clients if shaving the head to a buzzcut look is an option.
Other candidates for SMP include people who undergo cancer treatment, as they can also experience hair loss. This is a common side effect of chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, and bone marrow transplant. While working to kill the cancer cells, the hair cells are also damaged.This hair loss occurs all over the body. Once the treatment ends, the hair regrows for most people. It may be thinner or leave bald patches. If your treatment required surgery to the head or brain, you will have a permanent scar. This shaved style micropigmentation approach allows individuals to choose where to create their new hairline. This impacts the framing of your face. This technique makes thin hair look stronger and bald areas denser.
SMP is also available for people who suffer with Alopecia Areata. The medical term Alopecia Areata is another word for hair loss. Treatments sessions for customers who suffer from Alopecia Areata may be longer and will be discussed with potential clients during they consultations.
As discussed in a previous blog, Vincent, one of the co-founders of Ultra Scalp Ink, has suffered with hair loss from his early 20’s. It was a big blow to his ego when it was pointed out by family and friends that he was losing his hair at such an early age. He suffered with a low self esteem and confidence issue for over 20 years until his Wife, Angela, suggested he look into the Scalp Micropigmentation procedure. She has has several members of her own family as well as friends who have had the procedure. Vincent adds “I noticed the difference after only my first session.” It was incredible how clearly you can see the improvement after only a few short hours! By the time I was finished with all three sessions, I had an extra skip in my step! Personally, I love how undetectable it is. I have not had anyone question me – it just blends into my natural hair follicles.
Scalp Micropigmentation will give you instant and natural looking results in a very short span of time!
