Scar camouflage, using micro-pigmentation? (Photo)

Question

I have a scar from a transplant that didn't even work. I'm interested in having camouflage using micro- pigmentation. If it's successful I may have the remainder of my scalp done too.

Scalp Micropigmentation SMP can be used help disguise the scar but it does not make the scar invisible.  If you keep your hair short, you will still see a "step" of hair and scar boundary.

SMP into scar tissue can work very well. Pigment can take to scar tissue differently to virgin skin. It may take more sessions to build up a solid foundation for the pigment. Possibly the pigment will not be as stable. It is important to ind an experienced SMP technician in scar repairs.

Hello Momo. Scalp Micro Pigmentation is our preferred method to camouflage the scars from those type of surgeries. Most of our patients are very satisfied with the results and even have opted to do the whole head to replicate the look of hair growing

Scalp Micro pigmentation is the best way to camouflage scars from previous surgeries. If done right, the scar will blend nicely with your donor area.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

IF you are considering another transplant, then the scar should be removed with the next transplant. Scalp micropigmentation (see below) works once all of the transplant work is completed
