Scar Camouflage

Scar camouflage using scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a cutting-edge technique designed to conceal scars on the scalp, blending them seamlessly with the surrounding hair and skin. This highly specialized procedure is ideal for individuals with scars caused by hair transplant surgeries (FUE or FUT), injuries, burns, or medical conditions.

How It Works

SMP involves implanting tiny, precise pigment deposits into the scar tissue to replicate the appearance of natural hair follicles. The pigment is carefully matched to your natural hair and scalp tone, ensuring the scar becomes virtually undetectable.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Scar camouflage with SMP is a procedure where pigment is applied to scars on the scalp to replicate the look of natural hair follicles. This technique blends the scar with the surrounding hair and scalp, making it less noticeable.
