Scalp Micropigmentation
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses micro-needles to deposit pigment into the scalp.
It creates the illusion of natural hair follicles, giving the appearance of a fuller head or closely shaved style.
It’s ideal for men and women experiencing hair thinning, baldness, or scarring.
Overview And Clinical Background
Creating The Illusion of Hair Density
SMP replicates hair follicles using specialized pigment and fine needles.
It’s suitable for various hair loss causes including alopecia, thinning, or post-transplant scarring.
- Purpose: To restore the visual effect of natural hair growth.
- Performed under topical anesthesia with minimal discomfort.
- Goal: Achieve realistic and low-maintenance hair appearance.
Symptoms, Signs And Presentation
Ideal for individuals with hair thinning, patchy bald spots, or complete baldness.
It also camouflages scars from injuries or prior surgeries.
- Common candidates: Men with receding hairlines or bald crowns; women with diffused thinning.
- Post-hair transplant patients seeking denser coverage.
- Visible concern: Uneven scalp tone or visible scalp areas.
Diagnosis Methods And Investigations
Scalp Evaluation And Shade Matching
A trained specialist assesses scalp condition, skin tone, and remaining hair.
The right pigment shade and density are selected for a natural finish.
- Tests: No medical testing required; patch test ensures pigment safety.
- Tools: Digital scalp analysis may be used for design mapping.
- Pre-treatment consultation defines hairline shape and density level.
Treatment Options And Surgical Techniques
The treatment involves layering pigment dots over multiple sessions to simulate follicles.
Each session refines depth and density for a 3D look.
- Conservative: Hair fibers or sprays give temporary fullness only.
- Minimally invasive: Micropigmentation provides durable visual density without downtime.
- Touch-ups may be done every few years to maintain tone.
Recovery, Risks And Prognosis
There’s no downtime; only mild redness for a day or two.
Results last 4–6 years with gradual fading.
Pigment touch-ups maintain consistency.
