A Complete Guide on Scalp Micropigmentation for Women

​

Dealing with hair loss can feel overwhelmingly embarrassing for women. Females who experience hair loss can sometimes feel pressured by modern beauty standards of having lush and healthy hair. With the constant bombardment of these images from the media, it’s no surprise that women will try almost every hair loss treatment to alleviate the issue.

They try wearing wigs and undergo hair transplant surgery, only to experience subpar results. However, another hair loss treatment has been making waves and that’s scalp micropigmentation. Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a procedure that uses permanent pigments to mimic the appearance of a full head of hair. Performed by experienced artists, this procedure offers a safe and effective solution for addressing hair loss problems by women.

Here’s everything you need to know about scalp micropigmentation and how it can benefit females who are experiencing thinning hair, alopecia, and the like.

​

Can SMP work for women with long hair?

​

Yes. Scalp micropigmentation works for long hair. While the treatment was created initially for bald heads, scalp micropigmentation can accommodates females with hair loss issues. The way it works is that it conceals thinning hair by making it look fuller. Pigments are deposited between the hair follicles to blend the rest of your hair together and disguise bald spots.

The artist selects a pigment that blends in perfectly with your hair colour and work around the problem areas. Whether you have long hair or short hair, scalp micropigmentation works both ways to bring back your confidence and self-esteem.

But there are a couple of things you need to know before undergoing SMP. For one, it doesn’t replicate the look of long hair. Secondly, the treatment might appear noticeable if you’re experiencing a receding hairline. To find out if you’re a suitable candidate for scalp micropigmentation, it’s best to consult a trusted SMP artist who can recommend the best option for you.

​

Will your hair follicles get damaged with SMP?

​

Because the pigments are deposited between the hair follicles, it does not damage them in any way. SMP aims to create depth and hair stubble without the needle interfering with the actual follicle. During the procedure, tiny needles penetrate about 2mm deep on the scalp (the epidermis). Even if the artist were to deposit pigments on the hair follicle, the pigment would be sitting only on the outermost layer of the skin. It does not affect future hair growth or damage your already existing hair.

Scalp micropigmentation is a safe procedure for all types of female hair loss. If you experience additional hair problems, all you need is to undergo subsequent sessions to add more pigmentation to your scalp.

​

How is scalp micropigmentation done?

​

Scalp micropigmentation is usually completed in 2-3 sessions. The SMP artist carefully examines the condition of your hair and creates a treatment plan specifically for you. Everyone’s needs are different and the great thing about scalp micropigmentation is it’s highly customisable. The colour of your hair is matched to the pigment to achieve a three-dimensional appearance. A light shade is applied during the initial session to cover up thinning areas and the succeeding sessions are where the details and darker shades are applied to complete the treatment.

If you want to customise your SMP treatment even further, you can request for a third session and have the artist complete your desired look. After the treatment, you’ll experience a bit of redness and slight swelling on the scalp, but should relieve itself within the next few days. From there you want to observe proper aftercare to ensure your treatment looks as best as it can be.

​

Does scalp micropigmentation fade?

​

While scalp micropigmentation uses permanent pigments, the treatment itself generally fades over time. An SMP treatment may last anywhere from 3-7 years depending on how the person takes care of it. Touch-ups are required to restore depth and detail to your hair and should be a quick procedure as opposed to your initial treatment.

You can extend the life of your scalp micropigmentation treatment by using products like sunscreen to protect it from harmful UV rays. You should also use a water-based moisturiser to keep your scalp hydrated throughout the day. Ideally, you want to apply a moisturiser after taking a shower and before going to bed to reduce flaking and fading.

​

What to do after undergoing SMP

​

Observing proper aftercare is just as crucial as finding a reputable SMP artist. There are a couple of things you can do to maintain the look of your treatment and prevent early signs of fading. If you ever had a tattoo before, the healing process is quite similar to scalp micropigmentation. First off, you should avoid direct sunlight exposure on your scalp.. The UV rays can ruin the pigments and cause premature fading. Secondly, you want to avoid excessive sweating as this can make the pigments look blotchy and uneven.

During the healing process, small scabs will appear on your scalp. Do not scratch, pick, or touch these scabs or you’ll risk having an infection and destroy the look of the treatment. Your SMP artist will provide you with an in-depth instruction on how to look after your treatment. Make sure to follow their instructions carefully to facilitate the healing process.

If you’re looking for a hair loss treatment that produces amazing results, then you should definitely consider scalp micropigmentation. The treatment is life-changing and restores not only your hair, but your confidence as well. Don’t let hair loss take control of your life and undergo scalp micropigmentation today!
