It can be hard to know how to manage thinning hair. Many people who experience hair thinning don't need a hair transplant but are also tired of using powders and sprays to cover up thin areas. Thankfully, scalp micropigmentation offers a safe, simple, in-office option for people who want to step up their appearance — without going under the knife.
Scalp micropigmentation is a process in which a technician tattoos tiny dots on the scalp, creating the illusion of a fuller head of hair. SMP for thinning hair is less invasive than getting a hair transplant and requires no downtime. Most people need two to four SMP micropigmentation density procedures to achieve their desired look. While scalp micropigmentation for thinning hair is not a permanent procedure, the effects can last for years.
It's a common misconception that micropigmentation is only an appropriate option for those who are bald or have bald spots. Many people who search for more information about grown out scalp micropigmentation with hair are pleased to find that SMP for thinning hair is an option. There's no need to shave or shorten hair prior to an SMP for density procedure.
SMP for density creates the illusion of a fuller head of hair for people who are experiencing hair thinning, with or without bald spots. Scalp micropigmentation density acts similarly to a hair powder or colored hair spray, allowing the scalp to have the appearance of head hair, even in areas where little hair is present. For many people, scalp
micropigmentation for thinning hair creates a renewed sense of confidence, without having to resort to spraying on a scalp cover-up each morning. There's no need to remove or shave head hair before undergoing grown out scalp micropigmentation with hair. Your technician will be able to work around the hair that you have, placing ink on your scalp in places where your hair has thinned.

Your technician will first talk with you about your desired look, and together, you'll discuss areas of concern on your scalp. After you go through a consultation and develop a game plan for your new look, you'll be able to begin your SMP sessions. Your technician will use a device similar to what's used for a standard tattoo, except the SMP device is specially designed to tattoo the scalp.
Your SMP plan will depend on your areas of concern. Most men find that they need more SMP around the hairline, while women often find that their SMP is best concentrated around their natural part and the crown of the head. Since your SMP treatments are spread out over several sessions, you'll be able to talk with your technician at the start of each session about your look, and you can work together to make small tweaks to your plan to ensure that you get your desired result.
Fortunately, most people who get SMP for density report that the discomfort is slight — less than the pain associated with getting a tattoo. No recovery time is needed for most people, in fact, many people who undergo an SMP density procedure return to work immediately after the procedure is complete. Some people experience redness in the treated area, but this usually fades within three to four days. If the redness is concerning, it's fine to wear a hat or other head covering as the area begins to heal. People who receive
SMP treatment are asked to refrain from strenuous exercise for a few days to prevent sweat from interfering with the healing process.
If you're ready to talk with a technician about how SMP can help you get your confidence back, you're making a smart move. SMP for density can help restore the look of a full head of hair, without the healing time required with hair transplant surgery.
