Hair Transplant Options

Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is an incredible alternative to, or complement for, a hair transplant. Whether you’re considering a hair transplant or have already had one, SMP can deliver natural-looking results, boost your confidence, and save time and money.

Although hair transplants are the only way to relocate real hair to different areas of the scalp, they often come with challenges like:

High costs
Hormone medication for life
Painful, patchy results that can take up to six months to settle

Scalp micropigmentation offers a non-surgical solution to these problems. By replicating the look of thousands of hair follicles, SMP creates the appearance of thicker, fuller hair in just 1 month.

It’s quick, effective, and produces an undetectable finish that is timeless and versatile. Whether you choose SMP instead of a hair transplant or to complement one, the results are transformative.

Hair Transplant Density Not Enough

The sad truth is that many are left disappointed with their hair transplant and still suffer density issues, with the main areas needing attention usually being the hairline and crown. Scalp micropigmentation is a fantastic way to finish off and enhance your new look so you can finally wear your investment with pride.

When used together, SMP and hair transplants create a perfect synergy that enhances your overall result. Here’s how:

Enhanced Density: Even after a hair transplant, coverage can look sparse and thin. Expertly placed SMP if fantastic at disguising those thinner areas.
Scar Concealment: Transplants can leave visible scars in both donor and recipient areas. SMP effectively hides these scars, creating a flawless finish.
Direction and Blending: SMP corrects areas where hair direction is misaligned or where transplanted hair leaves exposed patches, delivering a polished and blended result.
Immediate Coverage: Hair transplants take months to fully show results, many transplant surgeons now recommend SMP prior to surgery so that you already have some cover while the hair is growing.

Scar Coverage

Nobody wants to go through hair transplant surgery just to worry about visible scars. Residual scarring can affect your self-image and have an impact on the final result. Because scar tissue is made of fibers, not skin cells, it does not have hairs, sweat glands or blood vessels and generally has a pale or pink shiny appearance.

FUT Scars

FUT hair transplants often leave a long, visible linear scar across the donor area, typically at the back of the head. These scars can widen over time, leading to a noticeable bald strip that forces many to keep their hair longer to hide the scarring. Unfortunately, even with longer hair, these strip scars can remain visible. Additionally, the direction of hair growth above and below the scar often changes, causing the hair on the back of the head to sit unevenly and making shorter hairstyles unsightly.

Several factors contribute to more prominent FUT scars, including:

Improper incision length (either too short or too long) resulting in scars that are too wide or widen over time
A tight scalp or poor surgical technique

Combining scalp micropigmentation with a hair transplant is a great solution for dealing with a surgery scar. SMP can effectively disguise the appearance of the strip where hair doesn’t grow, creating the illusion of fuller, more even coverage – allowing for slightly more freedom around hair styles.

FUE Scars

While most transplants these days use the FUE method, FUE hair transplants are they do generally still leave scarring in the donor area. Although the FUE process is less invasive than FUT, it is still a surgical procedure and involves extracting individual hair follicles using a small punch (typically 0.7mm–0.9mm), which creates tiny scars. When viewed collectively, these scars can give the donor area a “moth-eaten” or patchy appearance, especially if too many hairs are extracted from one area.

Prominent FUE scars can result from:

Over-extraction of hair follicles from the same area (e.g., 2,000–5,000 punches in one region)
Poor distribution of follicle extraction, leading to uneven, patchy donor areas

Scalp micropigmentation is an effective solution to disguise these scars and create more freedom around your choice of hairstyle. By mimicking the appearance of natural hair follicles, SMP seamlessly blends with your existing hair, restoring balance to your scalp and making scars virtually undetectable.
