Is the thought of losing your locks causing you to stress? Well, keep your hair on because Hair Density Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP), or Hair Tattoo, is designed to fill in thinning areas and add depth to the scalp.
What is hair density?
Hair Density is defined by the quantity of hair strands growing from each square inch of the scalp. It is said that a person can possess fine hair but have a high number of strands per square inch or own a thick head of hair of wider stands but fewer per square inch – hair raising stuff!
What is scalp micropigmentation?
This permanent, non-surgical medical tattooing treatment is ideal for men and women with any hair colour. It works through thousands of micro pigment dots being delicately placed into the dermal layer (middle layer of the skin) of the scalp to add density and volume to thinning areas.
Introduction to SMP Hair Density
Zoe gives a brief introduction to Hair Density Scalp Micropigmentation treatment.
Hair follicles are not damaged during the process, and little to no discomfort is experienced. The pigment hue is built up during each treatment to give a natural - not harsh or saturated - result to blend with existing strands.
What causes hair loss?
Hair loss can occur for several reasons:
- Age
- Stress
- Diet
- Hormonal changes
- Genetics
- Improper hair care routine - e.g. clogged pores affecting scalp health
How does SMP help?
Hair Density SMP disguises pattern baldness by enhancing the perceived density of balding areas around the temple, hairline and top of the head.
However, as with any tattoo, the ink will gradually fade over time, and a top-up treatment may be necessary to maintain the natural appearance, but the pigment can remain vibrant for 3 to 5 years!
How quick are the results?
Visible results are enjoyed immediately after the first treatment, and downtime is minimal to zero.
Although some redness of the scalp may be visible 24 hours after tattooing, clients have returned to their daily duties the next day.
