What is SMP Intended for?
SMP is a treatment for anyone struggling with hair loss, hair thinning, and even bald spots. Scalp micropigmentation is a contemporary cosmetic treatment. It works best at concealing the damage of hair loss or hair thinning.
During a scalp micro pigmentation treatment, natural pigments are implanted into the skin using a handheld device. The device has fitted micro-needles. The needles go directly into the scalp during the treatment, making a series of tiny dots. Once these heal, they look like natural hair follicles. Scalp micro pigmentation results give the appearance of a closely shaved head or a “buzz-cut” appearance.
In the case of thinning hair, the provider shades the skin where hair loss and thinning are the most noticeable. This gives the appearance of a full head of hair.
