Hair loss is something millions of people experience. In fact, in the U.S., about 35 million men are currently dealing with hair loss. Fortunately, there are several hair loss treatment options. One of the best modern hair loss solutions is scalp micropigmentation (SMP). If you’ve heard about this procedure before and think it might be right for you, then keep reading to learn a few new facts about scalp micropigmentation.
You won’t grow hair
A common misconception is that all hair loss treatments help the patient regrow their hair. But in reality, there are actually very few options to stimulate hair regrowth. Instead, scalp micropigmentation injects ink into the scalp to mimic the look of real hair follicles. SMP can help create stronger hairlines, fill in bald spots, and overall help you look like you simply have a closely shaven head. The ink is injected in the same direction the hair grows so it looks like true hair follicles.
You’ll need more than one session
While SMP is considered somewhat of a hair tattoo, it isn’t quite like a regular tattoo that may only need one session. For this hair loss treatment to be effective, you’ll need two or three sessions to complete the scalp micropigmentation process. Each session will probably last a few hours and can be mildly uncomfortable. But the great thing about scalp micropigmentation is that touch-up sessions are needed only every few years. Because it uses ink, it’s permanent and can give immediate results.
You can use SMP after other treatments
Sometimes, people may try other hair treatments, like a hair transplant. Unfortunately, these treatment options don’t always work out. If this happens, people may be left with scars or even worse hair loss than before. But, scalp micropigmentation can help fix these mistakes. SMP can actually help cover scars from previous treatment attempts and make balding spots more inconspicuous. So if you try another treatment option that fails, scalp micropigmentation can fix the mistake and give you the results you want.
All in all, scalp micropigmentation is an effective and safe procedure. Patients can see immediate results and won’t have a long, painful recovery time, which makes SMP an immensely beneficial hair loss treatment option.
