Scalp MicroPigmentation can be very effective is disguising FUE scars.  It is best to see  a doctor for a consultation.

If you want to hide your FUE scars, then SMP is a great option to do so. But be ware, there are facilities that use pigments that turn colors over time resulting in a blue or green appearance and will leave you needing to have corrective laser work  and a revision SMP session to correct it. I recommend my patients go to BRAVI in Austin, TX. The staff there have pioneered specific pigments that do not turn blue or green with time and in fact they have clients flying in from around the world to have previous SMP sessions corrected.

SMP
would be a great choice to camouflage the FUE scars.  Make sure you do your research to find a
reputable office as the dyes used for SMP are different than regular tattoo
dye.

Sean Behnam, MD · Answer

How effect SMP can be is really a case by case basis. But generally it is one of the more effective methods to help hide FUE scarring. Consult with a doctor or several to determine what would work best for you, but based on just the picture it seems like SMP would make the most sense.

yes , micro pigmentataion really effective to camouflage those white dots and  it looks quite natural in real.  but remember that you have to remake tattooing because dye used for scalp micro pigmentation will be dissappeared in 2-3 years with phogocytosis.
