At INKonHair Clinic in Bristol, we provide a range of different aesthetic treatments, but scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is our speciality. A kind of medical hair tattoo, the ink is used on the scalp in order to replicate hair. Today we’re going to look at the benefits of this treatment for hair loss.
It’s Suitable for All Kind of Hair Loss
You can receive SMP treatment however much hair loss you have, whether your hair is thinning or completely bald. This cosmetic technique to imitate the appearance of hair follicles, whether to offer a ‘shaved head’ look, or to increase the density of hair. There may be medical reasons for your hair loss, such as alopecia, or you may have patches due to scars or blemishes, which can be covered with SMP. To compare, hair transplants, for example, are not suitable for those with alopecia areata, as it is designed to promote hair growth, and this is an autoimmune condition that attacks hair follicles.
It is More Affordable Than Other Methods
When you compare treatments for hair loss, although it can cost between £700-1800, depending on the area, when it comes to treating hair loss, it is more affordable than other methods. It only takes around a month for all three treatments to be completed, and so when compared to hair transplants, which can cost anything from £1,000 to £30,000, it is a much more economical solution, yet also offers permanency, in the same way you can expect from other kinds of tattoos.
You Will Know What to Expect
You can view out SMP ‘Before And After’ gallery online, so you can see what kind of results you can expect from SMP treatment. Unlike other treatments, SMP has clear results that are guaranteed to work, so it doesn’t make false promises that it will promote hair growth as the concept is that it covers the issue instead. The pigments of ink work together to create an illusion of a full head of hair rather that claim that it will reverse the hair loss.
It’s a Relatively Safe Treatment
The pigments used for SMP are made from natural ingredients, so it’s considered a safe treatment, and doesn’t run the risks of other hair loss treatments such as hair transplants, which carry a risk simply from being a type of cosmetic surgery. It’s non-invasive and relatively quick to complete. We also make sure to carry out a patch test, in case there are any allergies or adverse reactions you don’t know about, allowing us also to test the shade or colour matches your natural hair, using a low-density SMP blend.
