Scalp Micropigmentation provides many positive results but what are the benefits?
1. Long term usage – Hair loss solutions and treatments like transplants require appointments to be made for follow ups within four to six months to keep the hair follicles in good condition. SMP can be used for up four – six years without inspection and little maintenance needed before a top up is required.
2. No need for extra maintenance – Scalp Micropigmentation makes use of ink to create the illusion of the thickness of hair follicles, but it does not involve the actual use of real hair. As there is not any real hair on the scalp, Scalp Micropigmentation does not require any sort of special maintenance procedure appointment.
3. Safe and secure – Hair loss treatment is usually frowned upon and avoided by people due to fears of chemicals, surgical procedures, and potential side effects. Scalp Micropigmentation does not involve the use of chemicals in any way.
All that is needed for the pigmentation is an electric tattoo needle. The process requires no incisions, so there is no need for any cutting or surgical instruments.
4. Economical – Scalp micropigmentation is relatively cheap as it does not involve any type of surgery or surgical equipment. It is also much less expensive than a hair transplant (nearly 500% cheaper) which needs post medications and additional care products for your immune system and scalp.
5. Minimal invasion – The process of micropigmentation is sometimes referred to as acupuncture for the scalp. This is because its process does not involve the breaking of the skin. Instead, it works by integrating the pigmentation seamlessly with one’s skin tone with the use of small needles.
6. Quick procedure and healing period – Scalp micropigmentation has little to no recovery time. It does not involve any invasive procedures, so there’s no healing period, only a few days will suffice. The micropigmentation is almost painless (on average of a 3 on a scale of 1-10) and only takes a few sessions. There are no wounds to heal or stitches to change in between these sessions, only a routine thorough cleaning of the scalp after. Each session takes a few hours to be completed, and results are already visible after the first session.
7. Realistic look – Scalp pigmentation hair loss treatment, when performed by a certified professional, gives the impression of natural hair, providing a near perfect replication of the hair texture, colour, and skin tone producing a look of closely cropped hair. It helps add more density to thinning areas of the scalp where hair growth is stunted and parts of the hairline that have receded. The results of scalp micropigmentation also help cover imperfection on the scalp like scarring from incisions during surgery, such as a hair transplant.
8. Youthful appearance – There is a certain stereotype that goes along with hair loss and hair thinning. It’s assumed that the sufferer is old or older than he/she is. This condition could sometimes lead to a plummeting self esteem. One feels like others are staring at their bald spots and assuming they are ageing.
