SMP For Women

Hair loss in women and men is a common part of the aging process. Many people experience hair loss for other reasons as well, including medical treatments and hormonal issues. Thankfully, scalp micropigmentation (SMP) can provide a semi-permanent solution to hair loss in women and men. Here, we'll explore how SMP works, why people choose to get scalp micropigmentation instead of using hair sprays and powders, what to expect during an SMP procedure, and how to move forward if you feel SMP is the right fit for you.

What Is Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)?

Also known as scalp tattooing, scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a semi-permanent pigmentation process that works to add color to areas of the scalp that are bald and/or areas in which hair is thinning. The process can create the illusion of a fuller, thicker head of hair. During an SMP treatment, a technician tattoos tiny dots on the scalp. For many people, SMP is a great alternative to hair transplants, as it's less a less invasive option.

Many people (both men and women who are living with hair loss) find that areas of thin hair and/or bald spots on the scalp affect their confidence. Using hair powders and sprays can be time-consuming, and often, not as effective as scalp micropigmentation. Many people who use hair powders worry about achieving the same look day to day, or about being caught in the rain, sweating, or otherwise encountering situations that could disturb their scalp coverage product. With SMP, people who are experiencing hair loss can go about their days without having to worry about covering up thinning or bald patches on their scalp.

Can Women Do Scalp Micropigmentation?

Absolutely! Female pattern baldness is usually more general than male pattern baldness. Most women notice hair thinning along their natural part, as well as around the crown of their head. It's important to work with a technician who is familiar with scalp micropigmentation for women. 

Hair loss in women is normal, but many women report a lessened sense of confidence when they start experiencing pattern hair loss. Hair transplants can be expensive, painful, and require recovery time. SMP for women is a great alternative for women who can't or don't want to take time away from work, and who prefer a less invasive option for camouflaging hair loss. 

If you're thinking about SMP for women, it's important to work with a highly qualified technician. You'll want to make a consultation to talk about your hair loss and the look you'd like to achieve. Your technician will talk with you about what's possible for your look given your current level of hair loss and may recommend a change in hairstyle to accommodate SMP. 

If you're considering SMP, you're on the path to regaining the confidence that you had before your hair loss began. Reach out today to learn more about beginning the scalp micropigmentation process.
