You may be familiar with the microblading and full brows treatment but there is something similar that can work better for your scalp. This process is called SMP treatment or scalp micro pigmentation treatment which is like creating an illusion that your scalp is full of hair.
In microblading, the eyebrows hairlike lines are created, but in the SMP hair loss treatment, the goal is not to do so. In this treatment, tiny layered dots in various hues of black are used to replicate the look of a shadow on the scalp.
This type of style is known as pointillism and it is done for creating the natural-looking definition and depth in hair. A highly skilled practitioner makes sure that these dots look like natural hair follicles and blend in well with one’s complexion. For best results, a well-known practitioner should be contacted for this process.
This process is beneficial for those people who experience all kinds of hair loss. Some causes of hair loss are hair thinning, alopecia, cancer and patterned baldness in male and female.
Is the process painful? Well, this depends. Before the process is initiated, the practitioner will apply a topical numbing cream on the scalp, but still, there may be some discomfort. The discomfort is directly related to the pain tolerance level of the patient as well.
Those who have scalp acne, different skin sensitivities like psoriasis must avoid this treatment during the acne breakout or when psoriasis is causing a lot of problems. It is because when the scalp is affected it becomes difficult to apply the topical pigment. It is not good for those who have keloids as well.
The SMP Hair treatment price varies on the scalp area that needs treatment. Cohen states that the price of treatment is between 400 to 1000 dollars.
This treatment is considered semi-permanent so the effects may last up to 8 years and the area that is treated will fade over time because the skin exfoliation happens naturally on its own.
Last, but not least, finding a skilled practitioner for SMP is important. When you visit the SMP centers look for SMP training certification. The practitioner must be a licensed body art practitioner as well as per the state requirements.
The environment should be clean and sterile in the center. Proper Barrier protection must be implemented during the treatment like there should be guards on the SMP treatment device, mask, barrier tape, and nitrile gloves.
