The scalp micropigmentation (SMP) procedure typically involves several steps to achieve the desired outcome. Here is a general overview of the procedure:
1. Consultation and Design
Begin with a consultation where you discuss your hair loss concerns and desired results with an SMP practitioner. Together, you'll create a customized hairline design that suits your preferences and facial features.
2. Preparation and Pigment Selection
Before the procedure, your scalp is cleaned and prepared. The practitioner selects pigments that match your natural hair color, ensuring a realistic outcome.
3. Application and Layering
Using a specialized SMP device, the practitioner applies the pigments to your scalp, mimicking hair follicles with precise dots or strokes. Layering and gradation techniques are employed to create a natural and three-dimensional effect.
4. Multiple Sessions and Aftercare
SMP is typically completed over several sessions, spaced a few weeks apart. After each session, the practitioner provides specific aftercare instructions to promote healing and pigment retention.
