SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION IN LONDON

Unlike other hair loss and balding solutions, scalp micropigmentation looks entirely natural. This is because, instead of growing hair on your scalp or covering it in artificial hair, micropigmentation focuses on creating the illusion of hair follicles. In a session of SMP, hair follicles will be tattooed on your scalp using ink to emulate the natural look; these dots will have different depths. It is a modern and permanent solution used for making very short or thin hair appear denser. The treatment is suitable for both men and women over 18.

If you have been feeling more self-conscious or lacking confidence due to thin hair or bald patches, SMP can help. Whether you are a man or woman, losing hair regularly and at an alarming rate is devastating.

Along with causing anxiety, this can keep you from daily activities such as swimming, going out with friends and family, attending parties and more. Micropigmentation of your scalp prevents you from focusing on your hair loss by restoring the illusion of a fuller head of hair. It will restore self-confidence and help you return to daily life and regular activities.

Our skilled scalp micropigmentation practitioner in London will tell you that this procedure aims to put tiny and layered dots on the skin of your scalp at different depths to create the illusion of natural-looking hair. They will do their best to ensure that the dots blend seamlessly with your complexion and look natural. The procedure is perfect for people suffering from every form of hair loss, including:

• Cancer
• Alopecia
• Genetic hair loss
• Thinning hair
• Male and female pattern baldness

If you are suffering from any of these conditions and are above 18 years, you can choose scalp micropigmentation to regain your hair and lost confidence. Before the procedure, you will go through a consultation session with our SMP specialist. That will help you to better understand the procedure and its benefits.

From the description, it may seem like the micropigmentation of your scalp will hurt. If you ask whether it hurts or not, the answer will be a little vague. This is because each individual experiences the procedure differently. Likewise, people’s pain tolerance varies too, which means whether SMP will be painful or not depends on you. The practitioner will apply a topical numbing agent on the area, but despite that, there will be some discomfort. If you are prone to scalp acne or psoriasis, SMP should be avoided during a flare-up or breakout, as it can cause further pain.

Before going for your SMP session, you should know the guidelines. They will help you enhance your experience with scalp micropigmentation. These points are:

• You must shower before each session because you won’t be able to wash your scalp or wet it for at least four days after each appointment
• Each session usually takes between four to five hours
• The number of sessions you require will depend on the SMP practitioner and what they think is the best
• Your sessions will usually be scheduled a few weeks apart unless your consultant thinks otherwise
• You should not go swimming, use the sauna or steam rooms, or take extremely hot showers between sessions
• Your scalp should not be exposed to the sun for at least four days after the sessions. On the fifth day, you may expose your scalp to the sun, but not for more than an hour. Less exposure will mean better long-term effects from the treatment
• Once the final session is over, you should stay away from swimming pools, saunas and steam rooms for a minimum of 28 days. You should also stay away from the sun for the same period and use sunscreen with SPF 30-50 afterward
• You should avoid heavy exercise for at least five days after the final session and regularly moisturise your scalp after the fourth day of the treatment.

Scalp micropigmentation is considered semi-permanent, which means it will last for years, but regular maintenance is needed. The outcome may last up to 8 years but will eventually disappear with natural skin exfoliation. The colour will fade with time if you do not take proper care of your skin. If you have dry skin, there will be more exfoliation, and the effects will fade faster. If your skin is not that dry, it will take longer.

Despite being non-surgical, certain risks are associated with micropigmentation of your scalp, such as allergic reactions and a chance of infection.
