SMP for Scarring

Many clients come to us seeking our expertise in scalp micropigmentation for scars. Scalp scarring can be the result of various events, such as injury or unsuccessful scalp surgery. We want our clients to know that we have the expertise to help them achieve their desired look.
Surgical interventions may not always produce a client’s preferred natural-looking results, which is where our services come in. This outcome isn’t surprising; hair transplant surgeries aren’t always completely successful and results can vary depending on where you go for your procedure. At Scalpology, our experts are trained to produce the best results possible, and though some scalp scars are unavoidable, we will always work with you to get you to the best version of yourself. We can treat results from completed hair transplants so that they look more natural! We do this by adding a little more density to the area or camouflaging FUE or FUT scars with our micropigmentation process.
Scalp scars from hair transplants can be particularly pronounced due to the rich supply of blood vessels in the scalp, which exists to protect this vital organ. As a result, injuries to the scalp tend to bleed more compared to injuries on other parts of the body, causing scarring. This is precisely why scalp micropigmentation artists undergo intensive training and acquire substantial experience in this specialised field. The technique of scalp micropigmentation (SMP) can work wonders for addressing such scarring, utilising two distinct approaches.

To start, our Scalpology experts will apply natural-looking tattooed follicles directly onto and around the scarred area. This strategic placement significantly reduces the visibility of scars or can even render them entirely unnoticeable. The artist manoeuvres through skin tissue using advanced techniques and equipment, ensuring that the scarred regions receive uniform coverage and seamlessly blend with the rest of the scalp. The end result is an imperceptible scar.

How Can SMP Help You?

If you’ve experienced an injury that has halted your hair growth or your hair growth has stopped due to permanent damage to the hair follicles because of scarring, we have the solution. Our Scalpology scalp micropigmentation experts can perform spot treatments that do wonders, seamlessly hiding your scars amidst your natural hair growth.
The tattooing process itself is quite unique. Using precise and gentle needle pricks, we implant complementary shades of colour into your scalp’s skin. But this process offers more than just a new appearance – it has remarkable effects, allowing for natural-looking coverage.
The controlled needling initiates the release of tough scar tissue, which would have formed to protect the injured area. This starts a healing process under your skin. Our specialised manipulation of the scalp skin, known for being the body’s thickest, triggers a series of changes at the dermal-epidermal junction. This leads to healthier skin. Surprisingly, the scar tissue undergoes transformation as well. The collagen that developed is replaced with healthy collagen, effectively revising the scar. This technique, similar to skin needling, is recognised for its ability to improve scar appearance.

Scalp Micropigmentation for Scars FAQs

Can scalp micropigmentation help with different types of scars?

Yes, scalp micropigmentation can be effective for various types of scars, including those from hair transplant surgeries, accidents, or injuries. Whether your scar is raised, flat, or discoloured, our skilled artists here at Scalpology can tailor the technique to suit your specific scar type and skin texture, making it less noticeable.

Is scalp micropigmentation for scars a permanent solution?

While scalp micropigmentation is long-lasting, it’s not entirely permanent. Over time, the pigments may gradually fade due to factors such as sun exposure and natural skin exfoliation. However, touch-up sessions can be scheduled to maintain the desired appearance and ensure that the pigments stay vibrant.

Does scalp micropigmentation for scars require any downtime or recovery?

There’s usually minimal downtime associated with scalp micropigmentation for scars. You might experience some redness or slight discomfort immediately after the procedure, but this typically subsides within a few days. You can resume most of your regular activities shortly after the session, but it’s advisable to follow the aftercare instructions provided by our experts for optimal healing and results.

Is scalp micropigmentation for scars suitable for all skin tones and hair colours?

Yes, scalp micropigmentation for scars is designed to be versatile and adaptable to a wide range of skin tones and hair colours. Our skilled artists are experienced in customising pigments to match your natural hair colour, creating a seamless and natural look. They take into consideration factors such as skin undertones and hair shades to ensure that the treatment results are personalised and tailored to your individual features. Whether you have light or dark skin, or hair that’s blonde, brunette, or even red, the scalp micropigmentation technique can be adjusted to suit your unique appearance.
