FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant): Leaves a linear scar across the back of the scalp.
SMP for Scars: How Micropigmentation Can Hide Hair Transplant Scars
Hair transplant procedures don’t always leave behind the smooth, scar-free results patients expect. If you're dealing with visible scarring from a past transplant, SMP for scars may be the long-term solution you've been looking for.
Scalp micropigmentation for scars offers a non-invasive way to camouflage both FUT (strip) and FUE (follicular unit extraction) scars by replicating the appearance of natural hair follicles. It blends seamlessly with surrounding hair and restores confidence where previous treatments fell short.
What Causes Hair Transplant Scars?
Scars from hair transplants typically result from the following methods:
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): Can leave behind multiple small dot-like scars in the donor area.
While hair transplant techniques have improved over the years, scarring is still common. These scars can become more visible as hair thins or if the transplant results are uneven.
How SMP Conceals Scarring
Scalp micropigmentation for scars uses precision micro-needles and pigment matching to deposit pigment into the scar tissue and surrounding scalp. This helps disguise contrast and creates a uniform appearance across the entire scalp.
Advantages:
Reduces contrast between scar tissue and scalp
Fills in gaps left by previous transplant attempts
Safe for both men and women
Works on all skin tones and hair colors
By strategically placing pigment deposits, SMP visually restores density, hides the scar’s texture, and eliminates the need to rely on hats or hairstyles to cover problem areas.
