Answer: Scalp MicroPigmentation is a great alternative for those hair transplant surgery may not be an option.
SMP can fade if the type of ink/pigment is compromised, or if the technician is going super shallow. Please discuss with your doctor if you have any skin condition.
If the goals is to add the look of hair density when the hair is long using scalp pigmentation. Keeping the hair long may slow down the session but achieve a more even result in the longer term. It is possible to identify specific areas they may need a greater concentration of pigment. otherwise...
