Scalp Micropigmentation

What is Scalp Micropigmentation?

There are many reasons that somebody might be looking to Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP). Classed as a permanent cosmetic procedure, SMP is not a decision to be taken lightly but is life changing in the way that it can deliver the appearance of a full head of hair and a completely new you.

From scars, alopecia and male pattern baldness to a receding hairline and hair thinning, the reasons are many and the choices are few. Just how does one combat hair loss? Wigs are somewhat out dated and hard to maintain while hair transplant procedures are expensive and may lead to damaged skin. SMP is the innovative solution that is sure to service your needs.

An innovative treatment that replicates the appearance of having a shaven head of hair, SMP is non-invasive and non-surgical, perhaps most easily explained with a comparison to a traditional tattoo; using specialised equipment, thousands of pigments are deposited directly into the epidermis of the scalp to match your hair colour. The result? In just three hours, clients achieve the most natural look possible and full confidence in their appearance.

The Process

Every head of hair is different meaning that our offering to you is always bespoke and tailored to your needs. The process begins with a free assessment from our highly skilled team to see what may be required. At SMP Nationwide, we offer a series of affordable packages starting from £425 that include a consultation, full area treatment and guaranteed results. We even offer a price promise that ensures we will beat any like for like quote by a full 5%. But what exactly does an SMP session entail?

SMP is similar in appearance to a head tattoo but there are a number of differences with the most important being our certified technicians who have years of experience and hundreds of procedures to their name so that you can rest assured you are in safe hands. After the complimentary consultation by one of the skilled members of our team to identify the area or areas that require treatment, they will seek to replicate the look of a natural shaved head using our single-use needles.

Noticeably smaller than a standard tattooing needle, the pigment involved in SMP is also different, delivering the most natural looking result possible. Each session takes between two and three hours and we ordinarily recommend three separate sessions to achieve the desired result. It is important to note that there is a minimum ten day wait between sessions to allow the scalp time to heal but that the results will become noticeable from day one.

It is important to look after your treatment to avoid premature fading and guarantee maximum impact. Away from the procedure, we therefore offer a dedicated after care team that will be able to help you throughout the process. A live support function is featured on our website and expert advice is available seven days a week. Your results will be long lasting and the benefits too innumerable to count. That being said, there are definitely a few we can list.

The Benefits

Did you know that according to the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, 40% of men will experience noticeable hair loss before the age of 35? Many also endure a steep loss of confidence and a knock to their self-esteem but only 20% will seek treatment. In addition to that statistic, as many as 40% of women suffer from some form of hair loss by the age of 40 and only 12% will look to restore both their hair and their confidence.

With SMP, that not need be the case with fast and effective results within hours of having treatment.

Aside from the cost and ease of procedure, the benefits that one might enjoy from SMP depend on their particular ailment, a few of which we have identified below.

Alopecia

Alopecia is a frustrating and devastating condition for sufferers that sees the body attack its own hair follicles which leads to extreme hair loss. Hair transplants are often difficult to achieve and although there is no cure for either Alopecia Arreata or Alopecia Universalis, SMP is a superb alternative that can conceal the appearance of hair loss and ensure a more confident you.

Hair Thinning

Affecting both men and women, hair thinning can make the scalp appear more visible over time. SMP can add tone to the scalp, delivering the illusion of a thicker head of hair, which allows for easier styling and an enhanced outlook on life.

Hair Transplant Scars

Hair transplants are invasive procedures and can lead to scarring on the scalp. Although with proper healing a scar should fade in time, SMP can help camouflage the procedure and add a base layer of colour to the scar, a treatment that can render the scar almost invisible and allow a huge psychological benefit to the client.

Male Pattern Baldness

Male pattern baldness will affect most men at some point in their lives and SMP can help to conceal the baldness when it occurs by adding pigmentation to the scalp and giving the appearance of a shaven head of hair. Baldness may occur in smaller or larger areas of the scalp. No matter the size, SMP can achieve the perfect blend of pigmentation and secure fantastic results.

Receding Hairline

Like male pattern baldness, a receding hairline can occur at any age with some as young as eighteen becoming frustrated at their appearance through no fault of their own. SMP will deposit pigments across the scalp and can also extend the hairline to deliver a natural look.

These are just some of the benefits of SMP. Although it may take several sessions depending on the severity of your hair loss, we guarantee results and truly believe that friends and family will have no idea where the real hair ends and the SMP begins.
