WHAT IS SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION?
Scalp Micropigmentation (commonly known as SMP or micropigmentation) is a cosmetic procedure that creates natural-looking hair follicles using microneedles and pigments. This gives the illusion of a completely full head of hair, closely shaved to a“buzz cut.” When this procedure is performed by a trained and experienced SMP practitioner, the results appear 100% natural. Your work colleagues, friends and family members won't be aware that you’ve undergone treatment. The most common feedback in this respect is that clients receive compliments of looking younger or healthier. Every month, more and more people turn to this life-changing treatment as their first choice hair loss treatment, combating baldness and achieving that full head of hair. Hair Tattoos really are growing in popularity, and so are the number of un-experienced practitioners.
WHAT IS TRICOPIGMENTATION?
The major difference between the two types of micropigmentation is the type of ink used for tricopigmentation procedures only lasts on average for two years, at which point it needs to be reapplied. While at first this may sound like a disadvantage, this is actually a huge advantage. Tricopigmentation allows for the artificial hair line and overall hair pattern to be reconstructed in a way that’s proportionate to their age. To put it another way, SMP can sometimes leave a fifty-year-old male with the unnatural hair line of a thirty-year-old because it can last for twenty years. Tricopigmentation, however, allows the hair patterns to be readjusted over time so that the procedure remains unnoticeable. This ability to reapply the ink reduces the potential need for costly corrective laser surgeries.
