What can I expect when pursuing scalp micropigmentation to hide FUE scars as somebody who tans easily?

sfishmon
I am looking into SMP to cover my FUE scars. They are fairly visible under a #2 cut and I want to go shorter. My main concerns with SMP- Is SMP for scar repair only the dark dots that resemble hair, or is there also skin tone pigment being added to the scar? If there is scin pigment, is that faded into the surrounding skin? I tan easily and skin tone flunctuates throughout the year, is this going to cause problems?
