Scar Camouflage

There are many cases of scalp micropigmentation (SMP) being applied to scars on the scalp. Prior to the existence of SMP, hair transplantation was the only proven method for permanent hair restoration. A follicular unit transplantation (FUT) procedure leaves clients with a strip scar in the back of the head where the donor tissue was taken from. This causes embarrassment and self-consciousness in many men, especially when they prefer to keep their hair short. More recently, a less invasive transplantation technique called follicular unit extraction (FUE) has become mainstream, primarily because it does not leave a large linear scar on the head. However, it can leave small visible white scars in the extraction sites; and in cases where the donor area has been overharvested, the remaining hair in the back of the head can look very patchy and thin.

With SMP we are able to effectively conceal FUT and FUE transplant scars by depositing pigments into the scar region and blending it in to the surrounding hair. The amount of concealment we can guarantee is determined by the aggressiveness and texture of the scar. The more raised or indented the scar is, the more likely clients would need to keep their hair at a longer length in order to effectively conceal the scar. Clients can typically expect the color of the scar to match the surrounding hair after the SMP treatments, but any existing texture of the scar will not be affected. The end result is a 65-90% concealment of the scar.

SMP is more effective at concealing transplant scars than any other available method. Scar reduction surgeries aim to create a thinner scar, but they do not address the contrast between the scar tissue and the surrounding hair. Hair transplantation into a scar also tends to be ineffective, since the fibrous scar tissue tends to reject the transplanted grafts. With SMP, we are able to create excellent concealment of the scar with instant results, no surgery, and no downtime.
