Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a cosmetic hair loss solution that involves tattooing tiny dots on the scalp to create the illusion of a full head of hair. One common concern among potential SMP clients is whether the procedure is detectable. In this blog post, we will explore this issue and share some insights from someone who has undergone SMP.

I’ve worked in many different corporate environments, here’s my take.

Is SMP Detectable?

The short answer is that SMP is virtually undetectable. I’ve had this procedure for about 4 years, and no one from corporate environments, family, or romantic partners had noticed until I told them. If you take proper care of your scalp then it will make it that much more impossible to detect, yes you have a hand in this too.

Proper SMP Aftercare

To keep your SMP looking natural and undetectable, we recommend the following aftercare tips:

  1. Protect your scalp from the sun: Sunburns can cause fading, so it’s essential to apply sunscreen with a high SPF (about 50+) or wear a hat when going out in the sun.

  2. Keep your scalp moisturized: Lotion can help prevent dryness and flaking, which can make SMP more noticeable.

  3. Keep your hair short and tight: If you’re already bald, keeping your hair short and tight can make it more challenging for people to detect your SMP.

Factors That Can Affect SMP Visibility

While SMP is generally undetectable, certain factors can affect its visibility. One of the most important factors is lighting conditions. In certain lighting, your scalp can appear too shiny, which can make your SMP look unnatural or off.

To combat this issue, we recommend using a matte product like Zero Shine 2.0. This product is specially formulated to reduce shine on the scalp and create a more natural, realistic look. Additionally, proper aftercare, including regular moisturizing and sun protection, can help maintain the look of your SMP and prevent it from premature fading or appearing too shiny.

Conclusion

Scalp micropigmentation is a safe and effective solution for hair loss that can provide a natural-looking, undetectable result. It is a great option for those who are experiencing hair loss and looking for a way to restore their confidence and self-esteem. If you are considering SMP, it is important to find a qualified and experienced artist who can create a custom solution for you.

Elegant SMP is the place to get your scalp micropigmentation if you are interested in quality technique. Not all SMP is the same and your practitioner's training really does matter. For me, understanding how my artist could achieve an authentic looking hairline was very important, and very few SMP artists have the training to achieve that. Tommy at Elegant SMP is a true professional who understands how to get a natural looking result that is difficult to replicate - which is a true testament to his training. My SMP results exceeded my expectations and I would recommend Elegant SMP to anyone who is interested in getting the highest quality work the first time, or repairing SMP work that missed the mark.
