Why You Should Go for SMP Instead of a Hair Transplant
When dealing with hair thinning and hair loss problems, you don't want to take a shortcut that promises results but doesn't deliver.
So many people go with hair transplants, only to end up with scars and other side effects. Scalp micropigmentation has been making headlines for its safe and phenomenal results.
But the million-dollar question is: what makes scalp micropigmentation different from hair transplants? Why should you go for SMP instead of a hair transplant?
We've addressed all of these questions below:
The Results Look Natural
Unlike hair transplants, one of the best things about SMP is that the results will always look natural.
The practitioner will replicate your hair follicles by adding pigment through a special hand tool. This hand tool is similar to the one acupuncturists use. It has a tiny needle that will implant the pigment into your scalp.
Since the average human being has 100,000 follicles, they will implant 1,250 pigments by hand. They will then add definition, density, and shading to make it look like real hair.
With hair transplant, the doctor will extract hair follicles from the back of your head and implant them into the hairline. This doesn't cover all of the areas and often times, the results look 'odd' or 'out of place.'
It's Affordable
One of the reasons why people opt for SMP is that compared to hair transplant procedures, it's fairly affordable. The starting costs is approximately $1800 and can go up to $4500 but this depends on how much needs to be covered and whether or not you will need special care (which can cost extra.) If you have scars that need to be covered, you might be charged extra.
But with hair transplant procedures, the starting cost is $5000 and can go up to $7000. Sometimes the doctor isn't able to cover the area and additional treatments are needed, which can rack up your bill.
It's Not Painful
Unlike hair transplants, SMP is not a painful procedure. Since the practitioner will not be extracting your hair follicles, and will be using a handheld tool to implant pigment, it will be similar to getting a tattoo. The only difference is that the pigments used for tattooing are different for SMP, the practitioner will apply topical aesthesia so there isn't any pain.
So, there you have it! SMP is a better option because it's painless, affordable, and more feasible option.
