Does scalp micropigmentation on FUE scars blend with guard #1-#3?

SMP, or scalp micropigmentation, is a painless procedure that uses highly specialized equipment and unique techniques to carefully and expertly inject all-natural, color-tailored pigments into the scalp creating a completely natural look of the patient’s hairline. A typical procedure involves an initial consultation and two pigmentation sessions to achieve the desired results. You can wash your head the fourth day after the treatment and, during that time, avoid any strenuous activity that will prompt undesired sweating. Once the procedure is complete, the results of a Scalp Micropigmentation treatment can last up to five years.
SMP is usually appropriate for FUE scars. However, it is difficult to provide you with useful advice without photographs. Even with photographs you will find varying views and opinions from our community of exceptional doctors. Please upload photographs or visit a surgeon in person for more information.

Scalp MicroPigmentation or SMP is basically a tattoo that can cover the round white FUE scars. Many FUE patients have SMP for the scar.

We have done this for few patients with excellent results. not many develop this problem. There are few people that will need this services, but the ones we have done, they all have had excellent results. I believee we have to evaluate the scar first to be able to assess and be sure you do well with SMP. By the way, we have a technician who is expert in MP treatment. She has been doing this for other part of body including breast and skin of patients with vetiligo.  

It is not impossible but it depends on a few factors. One being your natural hair characteristics. Also how spread was the pattern of extraction of your hair. The closer the extraction pattern will leave more obvious scarring and anything to camouflage will also be more obvious. The wider the extraction pattern the scalp pigmentation will naturally blend better with your surrounding hair and won´t be obvious. 

Scalp micropigmentation on FUE scars is commonly used to blend in the results. A skilled, experienced technician can provide excellent results.
