SMP for Scars / สักปกปิดรอยเเผลเป็น เเผลปลูกผม

The two most common applications of SMP after hair transplants are from

FUE and FUT treatments.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is where you will see an array of ‘dot’ scarring usually from ear to ear depending upon the amount of the donors hair that is used.

 FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)

          In FUE, hair follicles are extracted from the sides and back of the patient’s head and transplanted into the balding region of the scalp.. Each follicular transplant is extracted with the use of a micro-punch. The scarring left behind by this surgery is extremely small and spherical, measuring up to a millimeter in diameter. The punch instrument, which is used to harvest hair follicles, can leave hundreds or thousands of scars on the skin. After healing, little white patches may appear on the skin. 

From experience, these are some of the easiest scars to camouflage and achieve the best results with SMP as they lay flat and we can blend through to your existing hair.

FUT (Follicular Unit TransplantationExtraction) 

          This process involves removing a strip section of the scalp from the patient, from which thousands of hair follicles will be harvested and transplanted onto the patient’s bald spot. Using sutures, the surgeon puts the wound back together once the strip has been removed. After the wound has healed, patients will generally be left with a more visible strip scar.  

After FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) we usually find a strip scar that is raised to varying degrees. SMP Results from FUT can sometimes take longer to achieve as we slowly build up layers of scalp pigmentation to disguise the scar area.

What methods may we use to conceal hair transplant scars?

          A relatively recent treatment, scalp micropigmentation, has been shown to be beneficial in addressing the cosmetic difficulties associated with hair loss. Scalp micropigmentation is a method similar to tattooing that imitates hair follicles by depositing thousands of tiny pigment dots into the scalp’s epidermis. In recent years, scalp micropigmentation has gained popularity as a more socially acceptable and preferrable hair loss solution. Scalp pigmentation imitates the appearance of natural hair follicles while simultaneously reinforcing and densifying thinning areas of the scalp, all without the need for invasive surgery, creams, medications, or consistent maintenance.
