Scalp Micropigmentation: will the look be affected by different types of lighting?

Question

As a musician who is under different types of stage lighting, will SMP still look natural?

Christine M. Shaver, MD · Answer

Since SMP consists of small, pigmented dots, on close inspection and especially with bright lighting, the pigment may not look totally natural.

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

SMP is not magic.  SMP is not real hair.  Under certain lighting and angles SMP may not look "perfect" as you may want.  Same goes for your natural wrinkles and blemishes. SMP also depends on the quality of the work.A bad Scalp Micro Pigmentation SMP can make you look like Lego Man or helmet head. Scalp Micro Pigmentation is a combination of art work and technical skill. Not everybody doing SMP can pull off a realistic look.

Scalp micropigmentation shows best under incandescent light.  Fluorescent light for example gives a bluish tinge. Please use this information when consulting in person with an experienced certified micropigmentation specialist.

Of course, lighting impacts anyone, even with a full head of natural hair and no balding. That is why make-up people do things to make sure that the hair looks full. SMP is a concealer which is like what make-up people use to make your hair look full, but it is a permanent concealer and would work well for anyone with thinning or see through hair.
