Scalp micropigmentation can work for many types of hair loss, including: Male pattern baldness: Scalp micropigmentation works very well for concealing a receding hairline and balding crown. Scarring from hair transplants: SMP can help mask visibility of scarring by blending the pigment to your natural hair and skin tone. Alopecia: For patchy or diffuse hair loss from alopecia, SMP provides a uniform look by blending any bare areas or spots with your existing hair. The key is that you still have hair follicles in the treated areas, even if most of the hair has been lost. The pigment is applied directly to the scalp to mimic hair follicles, providing an appearance of shaved hair. For completely bald areas with no hair follicles, SMP may not produce natural-looking results. It is best to discuss your specific hair loss with a specialist to determine if you are a good candidate for scalp micropigmentation. Scalp micropigmentation offers a viable solution for hair loss when hair transplants are not an option or for concealing scarring from other hair restoration procedures. By choosing an experienced clinic and technician, SMP can produce very natural-looking results and help restore your confidence in your appearance.
