Could I have SMP treatment for scars?

Question

I'm a heathy young person and I had SMP to cover my FUE scars year ago, I had 3 sessions which all completely faded back to zero each time. I was told by the practitioner that some people's skin and scars cannot accept SMP pigment. Going forward, I'd like to know if I could have these done successfully . I'd like to find a suitable clinic to do this. Is it possible that SMP will work for me or are some people actually immune to it?

Applying scalp pigmentation to your FUE scars may not give you the best results. By this, I mean that coloring in your scar tissue will not cause them to appear unnoticeable.

People may still be able to see them. Why? Because there is still hair surrounding these scars. Others will notice the empty areas due to the difference in texture (i.e. smooth areas versus surrounding areas with hair).

Instead, a much better approach would be to have new hair follicle grafts inserted into the scar tissue to blend in with the rest of your head.
