Like microblading for brows, the ability to produce the illusion of fuller hair on the scalp, the procedure is referred to as Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP).
With increasing hair loss, there is a decrease in the density of hair, and as a result, the scalp skin is more visible due to an increase in contrast between hair and skin. This can be minimized by providing an illusion using various camouflaging or concealing techniques. Camouflaging techniques such as bio fibers, wigs, and concealers like hair powder are all temporary methods. Compared to these modalities, a scalp tattoo is a permanent concealer.
The goal of SMP is to use tiny, layered dots in hues of black to replicate the look of full hair on your scalp. This process may be useful for people who experience hair loss. This includes:
- Post chemotherapy hair loss
- Alopecia
- Thinning hair
- Male and Female Pattern Baldness
- Scars after neurosurgery, head trauma, and Hair Restoration surgery
