Hair Tattoo
Hair Tattoo /Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a cosmetic procedure designed to address hair loss and create the illusion of a fuller head of hair. It is a non-invasive and non-surgical technique that involves the application of tiny, simulated hair follicles on the scalp using pigments. SMP is often employed as a solution for individuals experiencing various forms of hair loss, including male and female pattern baldness, thinning hair, or those seeking to camouflage scars on the scalp.
The SMP process typically follows these key steps:
-
Consultation: Before the procedure, a consultation is conducted between the client and the SMP practitioner. During this discussion, the client's goals, preferences, and expectations are explored. The practitioner assesses the client's scalp condition, discusses the desired hairline appearance, and determines the appropriate pigment color.
-
Color Matching: The practitioner works with the client to select a pigment color that closely matches their natural hair color or achieves the desired aesthetic result. Multiple shades may be used to create a realistic and multidimensional appearance.
-
Design and Planning: The practitioner maps out the hairline and density of the simulated follicles on the scalp. This design is personalized to the client's facial features, head shape, and desired hair pattern, ensuring a natural and harmonious look.
-
Micropigmentation Application: Using specialized equipment such as a tattoo machine or micro-needles, the practitioner meticulously applies the pigment to the scalp. Tiny dots are strategically placed to replicate the look of hair follicles, creating the appearance of a closely shaved or fuller head of hair.
-
Layering and Density Adjustment: The practitioner carefully adjusts the density and layering of the pigmented dots to achieve a realistic and three-dimensional effect. This attention to detail is crucial for a natural-looking result.
-
Healing Process: After the procedure, the scalp goes through a healing process. It is common to experience some redness or mild swelling initially. As the scalp heals, the pigment settles, and the final results become more evident.
-
Multiple Sessions (if needed): Depending on the client's goals and the extent of hair loss, multiple sessions may be recommended. These sessions allow for the gradual buildup of pigmentation and provide an opportunity for adjustments to achieve the desired outcome.
-
Aftercare: Clients are provided with aftercare instructions to promote proper healing and preserve the longevity of the results. This may include guidelines on scalp care, sun protection, and avoiding activities that could impact the treated area.
