How Does SMP Work For Scars?

The process of camouflaging scars with scalp micropigmentation involves a blending of the linear aspect of the offending site.

It means we will need to smooth out the discrepancies with natural and specialised pigments of varying colours. The pigments will be administered into the scar tissue itself, yet it also needs to harmonise into the surrounding zones.

This requires a razor-sharp accuracy to ensure fully artistic concealment. Depth of pigments is also a consideration as the classic sweet spot where pigment hits dermis is a decidedly trickier process when it comes to scar camouflaging.

Scars are formed when damage occurs to the dermis layer of your skin. This is the second layer which sits under the outer waterproof skin tier which is known as the epidermis.

The result is the marking we know as a scar. Scar tissue has a tendency to form its own identity over time. For this reason, it’s not always possible or advisable to treat brand new scars.

What Are the Risks of Micropigmentation Scars on the Scalp?

Provided you are a candidate for scalp micropigmentation treatment, the known risk factors of the procedure are actually extremely minimal.

However, there are radical cases, but they are acutely rare. These are usually associated with allergies to pigments. Yet these are predominantly linked to inappropriate pigments being used.

Scalp Nation only uses SMP pigments that are specifically designed for the process and that is also wholly natural.

This diminishes any risk factor but if you are concerned about the possibility or you are prone to allergies, a patch test is always available at the request of the client.

Other potential risk factors are generally linked to poor clinic practices. Scalp Nation is an accomplished clinic using solely sterilized equipment and the highest quality products.

If you are worried about any distinct risk factors, please don’t hesitate to voice your concerns at our clinic. We are always on-hand to listen and advise.

Is scalp micropigmentation the same as a tattoo?

In short yes, it is the same as a tattoo, however it has subtle differences. i.e the technique, needles that are used and the depth we implant the ink.

Does it hurt?

Minimal pain is felt during SMP. Most say 3/10 in comparison to a traditional tattoo. However, everybody’s pain threshold is different. We advise clients to have eaten and drunk well on the day of the treatment. Further information can be found on our pre-treatment forms.

Does the treatment fade or discolour?

Over time (2-5 years) the treatment will naturally fade down, at this point a touch up is recommended. We only use carbon based black pigments so you can be sure the impressions will not turn blue in colour.

How long will it last?

Our treatment will usually last anywhere between 2-5 years before any touch up is required. The touch up is a quicker procedure in comparison to your initial treatment. Please enquire regarding prices on touch ups.

Will it look real?

Scalp micropigmentation will give you the illusion of that 5 o’clock shadow/buzz cut look. Through training with some of the best artist in the world rest assured that our finish is undetectable.

How long does it take?

Our treatment times generally last from 2-4 hours depending on the condition of the scalp and the area that needs covering.

How long will the redness last?

Everybody’s skin type is slightly different but we usually say 24-72 hours. Please follow post treatment guidelines.

How does scalp micropigmentation on a scar work for hair transplant scar camouflage?

The procedure adds pigment to the scar area, hiding the contrast between the scar and the surrounding scalp.

Is scar micropigmentation effective for old scars?

Yes, the procedure can effectively mask both old and new hair transplant scars.

Is it possible to completely hide a scalp scar with SMP?

Complete concealment depends on the type of scar and the technique used, but the results can be very natural.

What is the difference between fue scar camouflage and fut scar cover up?

FUE masks punctate scars, while FUT masks linear scars, and both techniques use different pigmentation methods.

Can I get a hair transplant scar camouflage tattoo on a new scar?

It is recommended to wait for the scar to fully heal before the procedure.
