Norwich SMP Clinic – SMP Treatment Information

Whilst just about everyone on the planet loses hairs from their head every day (the NHS states that we lose 50-100 hairs a day without us even noticing), there are people who are affected by hair loss more heavily than others. Whether it simply be natural, through stress, or due to medical conditions – such as Alopecia or Thyroid Disease – there are a number of things that can cause hair loss for people.

A person’s hair is also an integral part of how they look and how they feel about themselves, so this hair loss can result in a loss of self-esteem and cause depression. And that is where Scalp Micro Pigmentation comes in. Scalp Micro Pigmentation is a non-surgical treatment to the scalp in which pigments are applied in very specific layers, by skilled technicians to create an on the skin that gives the illusion of a natural, full, shaved head of hair. The general aim of Scalp Micro Pigmentation by SMP Norwich is to replicate the appearance of natural hair follicles and provide a fantastic treatment to the visual aspect of hair loss.

Hair Transplant Scarring, Alopecia, Male Pattern Baldness, Receding Hairlines and Hair Thinning are the most common reasons that someone would look into Scalp Micro Pigmentation. The process of Scalp Micro Pigmentation realistically starts when a client makes their initial inquiry into treatment. A typical single session will often take an average of two or three hours (but it is all dependent on the scale of the Pigmentation required), and the full procedure is commonly done over three sessions, with a ten-day healing period in between each session. The length and number of sessions required is likely to differ between companies that offer it – the price is likely to differ, too.

For the process of the procedure itself. The client will arrive at their session and work with a skilled technician to first decide on what, specifically, it is that they want done. Once that is decided, the technician will continue collaboration with the client in mapping out the area in which the treatment is to be performed – with the most common of these being to bring the illusion of a receding hairline back forward. Then when the time comes for the pigmentation session to begin, the technician will begin the application. Whilst the process may be similar to tattooing, it is not the same. The technician will use single-use needles that are much finer than that of a traditional tattooing needle to allow for greater precision and detail on the technician’s end. The pigments that are used in the procedures are also all natural. Once the session(s) have been completed, the client will be left with the illusion of a shaved head, thanks to the pigmentation now in the skin.

As previously mentioned, there are many reasons why a person would seek out Scalp Micro Pigmentation. And because of those reasons, there are also a number of benefits to be had as well.

Alopecia is a big one. Alopecia is an autoimmune disease that causes a person’s body to think that their hair follicles (most commonly on their head) are a threat to their body, and as a result, will kill them, leaving bald patches on a person’s head. And with a person’s hair often being an integral part of their being, the after-effects of alopecia can be devastating to their self-esteem and overall mental health. If a person does not feel that they look good, they are not going to feel good. While there is no known cure for any type of alopecia, Scalp Micro Pigmentation, at the very least, can be used to cover up the balding spots on their head and give them back the confidence lost with their hair.

A receding hairline is often a natural part of getting older for many men, and for some men, a combover is good enough for them. But when has a combover ever looked good on someone? Never, that’s when. With the use of the pigments in the treatments, the man’s hairline can be brought back forwards, giving the illusion of a full head of hair, as if the hairline never receded in the first place.

The covering of scarring is something that Scalp Micro Pigmentation by SMP Norwich can be used for as well. Often, after receiving a hair transplant treatment, a patient will be left with scarring on the scalp. More often than not, even if you leave a scar alone for years, it will never fully heal and will be left on the skin permanently. That extends to the scars left by hair transplants. Scalp Micro Pigmentation can be used in conjunction with the results of the hair transplant to make sure that the results come out perfectly, and can be used as a cover for the left over scarring so it looks like there was never anything there in the first place.

When you think of hair loss, or thinning hair, unless you actively suffer from it yourself, you are likely to think of a man with thinning hair, are you not? In fact, 40% of women will suffer with some sort of hair loss before 40, and far less women tend to seek treatment for this thinning hair or hair loss than men do. The fact is women have just as many factors, if not more, than men that will attribute to their own hair loss, whether that be dyeing, straightening and curling hair, or just generally the products used on their hair. In the vein of dyeing, some women have light coloured roots, and tie that up with dyed dark hair, once those light roots come in, that can give the illusion of baldness on the head. Scalp Micro Pigmentation can be used to add shade to the scalp to remove that illusion of baldness.

There are many reasons why someone would seek out treatment for hair loss, so, if you’re looking for one yourself, bear Scalp Micro Pigmentation in mind as it can offer an almost permanent solution.
