Hair loss can affect anyone, regardless of age or gender. Androgenetic alopecia, also known as male or female pattern baldness, is the leading cause of hair loss. While hair loss can be distressing, there are solutions available, such as scalp micropigmentation (SMP). SMP is a popular hair loss remedy that creates the illusion of a fuller head of hair through small, tattoo-like dots on the scalp. It is a semi-permanent solution that requires minimal maintenance and can last for 3-5 years. But is scalp micropigmentation permanent? Let’s find out.

Scalp Micropigmentation: A Semi-Permanent Solution

Unlike other hair loss remedies, such as creams or medications that require daily upkeep, scalp micropigmentation requires only two to three visits and minimal maintenance. The process of scalp micropigmentation involves applying small, tattoo-like dots to the scalp that resemble a buzz cut, creating the illusion of a fuller head of hair. Many individuals wonder if scalp micropigmentation is permanent or if it requires regular upkeep.

Scalp micropigmentation is considered a semi-permanent solution as it maintains its appearance for 3-5 years before beginning to lighten over time. However, it is important to note that scalp micropigmentation falls under the category of permanent makeup, which means that it is not something that can be removed the next day.

The SMP Process and Maintenance

The process of scalp micropigmentation involves a few sessions that last a few hours each. During these sessions, the technician will use a 3-point micro-needle to deposit ink into the scalp with precision, creating the illusion of hair follicles. The process is almost painless, and the technician will apply a numbing spray to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. After the procedure, it is essential to follow the maintenance routine to ensure the best results.

To maintain the appearance of scalp micropigmentation, it is important to take certain steps to prevent fading. Direct exposure to harmful UV rays can cause skin damage and increase the likelihood of cancer, and it can also cause SMP to fade. To avoid this, it is recommended to apply sunscreen to any exposed parts of the body, including the scalp.

In addition, it is important to moisturize the scalp once a day, even after taking a hot shower, as hot water can dehydrate the skin. A natural tea tree oil-based exfoliating cleanser can also be used to remove dead skin flakes and other debris from the scalp.

Using High-Quality Ink

Another factor that can extend the life of scalp micropigmentation is the type of ink used. At Elegant SMP, we exclusively use Ghost Pigment for scalp micropigmentation procedures. Ghost Pigment is one of the best on the market and is specifically designed for scalp micropigmentation procedures. This organic, carbon-based black pigment is vegan-friendly, contains no animal by-products, and is supplied in a medical-grade sealed bottle to ensure its longevity. Additionally, Ghost has been fully tested by SMP experts and provides excellent retention.

Conclusion

Scalp micropigmentation is a semi-permanent solution to hair loss that can maintain its appearance for 3-5 years. Taking the necessary steps to prevent fading and using high-quality ink can help extend the lifespan of the treatment. If you are considering scalp micropigmentation, it is important to consult with an expert SMP practitioner to see if it will work for you. At Elegant SMP, we offer the most natural-looking and undetectable SMP treatment using a well-sought-after technique around the world by hair sufferers looking for SMP called the faded hairline.
