What can you do to make sure SMP on a strip scar doesn't turn blue?

Question

can kenalog injection, fraxel laser and dermabrasion improve the scar so smp is less likely to turn blue?

Bernardino Arocha, MD, FISHRS · Answer

Tim Col,Thanks for your question. The best way to avoid the smp from changing colors to blue or green, is to use only organic pigments like those formulated at Beauty Medical. These pigments have the safety of being organic and natural which means that the body will eventually metabolize it, but if the result is not liked it will eventually fade.

Scalp MicroPigmentation or SMP is basically a form of tattoo.  All tattoos turn slightly blue or green under the skin.  This slight blue green color is NOT the green / blue you see in bad SMP or tattoos.To avoid the extreme blue/ green color you have to make sure the clinic is reputable and the best quality pigments are used.  One way for YOU to tell may be to ASK to see former patients.

The key to using SMP correctly is first get a flat scar (steroids are good at helping achieve this) then use the right pigments that are colored correctly and organic pigments.
