Scalp Micro Pigmentation by SMP Hair Loss Clinic Newport
Hair loss doesn't just affect appearance. It affects confidence too, which can be distressing when it comes to living a full and enriched life. If you have visible hair loss that is affecting your life in a negative way, but you don't wish to have surgery, then scalp micro pigmentation might be the ideal choice for you.
Scalp micro pigmentation by SMP Newport is a hair loss treatment which is growing in popularity. It is more than just a tattoo on your scalp, which is often a misconception about the procedure. It is a cosmetic treatment which hides the damage that hair loss brings without using costly surgery. In short, it is life-changing.
Used for hair thinning, bald patches, receding hairlines, those going through chemotherapy, those with alopecia, or for any other scalp hair loss you wish to rectify, men and women can both benefit from scalp micro pigmentation treatment. As well as general hair loss, you might want to use scalp micro pigmentation to conceal scars or a birthmark, or for patches where for some reason your hair doesn't grow as thick.
The process of the treatment varies from client to client, but it generally involves a specialised practitioner applying the desired pigment colour or colours onto the area that you wish to treat to create the illusion of a closely-shaved buzz-cut, or the appearance of a full head of hair. Using varying needle sizes, different depths and angles of penetration and changeable levels of distribution across the area that is being treated, many things are also taken into consideration such as the skin tone and colour of hair of the client, and the final look that is desired.
To create the look that you wish to have, natural pigments are applied to the affected area using micro-fine needles. These needles create tiny marks on the area, which can either fill in patches on the scalp, bring a hairline forward or improve around the hair that you've already got. Blending with your skin tone, the layered dots from the needles create natural-looking shadows and hair follicles to blend in with your skin. It is an innovative and new way of recreating the look of hair once you've lost a noticeable amount of it, and is a wonderful alternative to surgery.
The process of SMP typically takes around two to four hours per session. Depending on your level of hair loss, it will take around three sessions to complete the treatment, which are spaced about two to three weeks apart from each other. The treatment is permanent and won't change colour for many years to come. Some light touch-up sessions might be needed from time to time, but only after some years.
Initially, you will have a consultation with an expert scalp micro pigmentation practitioner from SMP Newport. Here, you can go through all of the different options available to you, and your practitioner will answer any questions you may have before you can decide on exactly which treatment you wish to go for. You will then be informed of the initial proceedings. These include details such as the need to shower before each procedure and to not wash or wet your scalp, be under direct sunlight or partake in any strenuous exercise which could mean you sweat, for four days afterwards.
Right before the procedure, a numbing cream will be applied to the area of your scalp which is being treated. However, there might be some discomfort during the procedure, depending on your personal pain threshold level. The procedure is relatively painless and less painful than getting a typical tattoo, and from your initial consultation to your final treatment, you should find the whole process quite effortless and comfortable.
There are many benefits to scalp micro pigmentation. Firstly, your self-esteem and confidence will immediately grow after you see the results of your treatment, which in turn can benefit your life in every area. From feeling confident in the dating world, to having more poise and assurance when doing a presentation at work, you will notice a change in your demeanour after opting for scalp micro pigmentation. As well as elevating your confidence, there are other benefits too – not only is the procedure fairly quick and affordable, it is non-evasive and requires minimal maintenance. It is also safe, using natural ingredients, and is guaranteed to work, unlike other hair regrowth treatments. It is a life-changing treatment of which many are extremely pleased with once completing.
Whatever your reasons for opting for the surgery-free way of getting your hair looking how it used to or how you've always wanted it, you'll be thrilled with the results. The pigmentation used in scalp micro pigmentation won't fade much over time, so you can be confident that your new look will be one that you'll be proud to show off to everyone you meet.
