P
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

There are great hair transplant results and bad hair transplant results.  Likewise there are great SMP results and bad SMP results.  There is no way to tell why your have bad results.

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.

Scalp MicroPigmentation SMP risk is similar to the risk of having a tattoo.  The ingredients are variable depending on the clinic.

If you want to know why your SMP turned blue, the first person to ask would be the clinic.  Otherwise it would be almost impossible to tell since your clinic is the only source of treatment.
