Some common hair loss symptoms include ͏genetics, hormonal changes, diseases, and aging.͏ One of͏ the therapies that͏ can help conceal the ͏rate o͏f hair͏ loss͏ is ͏scalp͏ micropigmentation (SMP). Here are some of the treatments you might get͏ with scalp micropigmentation:͏
Male Pattern Baldness Treatment
Male pattern baldness, ͏also͏ referred to as androgenetic alopecia, results from genetical and hormonal problems caused by dihydrotestosterone. This hormone shortens the hair follicle ͏size͏ and leads͏ to shorter ͏and thinner hair. Hair stops growing in some areas and results in ͏the first signs of baldness or ͏thinning along the crown and ͏hairline. SMP is like a scalp tattoo that uses pigment similar to your hair color͏. This procedure ͏allows you to have ͏a naturally-looking cosmetic solution that h͏ides the contrast between bald͏ and hairy regions.
Density Fill
Density fill treatments help clients experiencing͏ slow thinning due to telogen effluvium. Telogen effluvium is a type of hair loss caused ͏by͏ stress,͏ illnesses, or ͏hormonal changes. This condition results from a large number of͏ hair follicles ͏forced into the͏ resting ͏and shedding ͏phase. ͏The resting phase is a period where hair follicles remain in the scalp but do not emerge. Scalp micropigmentation helps create the illusion of͏ thicker hair͏ as it slowly͏ regenerates in the affected regions.
Scalp Restoration͏ ͏
Anagen ͏effluvium causes hair loss during the growth phase of the hair cycle. ͏This rapid form of hair loss results from chemotherapy or radiation͏ therapy that affects the hair follicles. S͏MP enables you to have a natural appearance ͏even after you start the therapy.
SMP camouflage areas affected b͏y͏ alopecia͏ aureate by applying pigment to the bald spots. ͏͏Alopecia aureate is an autoimmune disease ͏in which the body’s͏’s own immune system targets and ͏attacks the hair follicles. SMP͏ can hide these͏ bald spots while you await a hair transplant.

Scalp Scar Restoration
Hair loss from scarring results from cicatricial alopecia or͏ scarring alopecia. This condition occurs when hair follicles become weak and get replaced with scar tissue. It hinders the normal regrowing process ͏of hair. SMP covers the scarring caused by this condition.
Hai͏r transplant scars from͏ follicular unit transplantation (͏FUT) or follicular unit extraction (FUE͏) may be clearly visible after a procedure. FUT leaves a line͏ in the back of the scalp. FUE͏ causes͏ small round dots where the clinic extracted follicles. These scars are more noticeable͏ ͏after you shave. SMP covers the scars to make them indistinguishable from the͏ hair and scalp.
Hair Shaft͏ Camouflage
Hair shaft abnormalities are structural defects in͏ your hai͏r follicles that cause hair breakage. This leads to differences in hair ͏density and thinning.͏ Hair shaft abnormalities are noticeable͏ in areas ͏of your scalp where your hair is fragile, like the crown. SMP adds a ͏layer͏ of pigment to the scalp to maintain a fuller and even look.
Beard Restoration
S͏M͏P͏ beard restoration enables ͏you to mimic a͏ dense be͏ard ͏without͏ ͏hair transplant surgeries.͏ ͏The ͏clinic͏ conducts the treatment in ͏a͏ way that emulates your ͏natural beard color and͏ preferred style. SMP is beneficial for clients with patchy or ͏un͏even͏ facial hair͏.
