What can I do about my SMP disappearing?

Philadlphia871Oct 10, 2016
Ive done smp at vinci clinic in beirut and I done my 3rd session 2 weeks ago. Now scabs are starting to peel and take out the ink. The first 2 sessions made no difference to my scalp at all. Im so upset n dissppointed that i spent $1800 on nothing but pain and waste of time! Note that i was told to moisturize after day 2 for 4 days but after the 3rd sessions i felt that i need to hydrate more so im still applying moisturizer till now. Please tell me what should i do

Many people who have SMP will see the pigments taken away by the immune system, assuming that the pigments used were proper.  We do this under anesthesia and are he medical pioneers of this and teach it to doctors around the world. Write to me. See below

The cost of Scalp MicroPigmentation like any cosmetic surgery is variable.  It also depends on the work involved.  There is no down time but you would likely need more than one session.  SMP is considered permanent like a tattoo is considered permanent.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.   It would depend on your medication as well.
