If you’ve been exploring options for hair loss treatment, you might have heard about Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP). SMP is a specialised tattoo technique that creates the appearance of natural hair follicles on the scalp, and here at MicroHair® (with clinics in Liverpool and Manchester), we’re proud to offer this revolutionary treatment. But what makes SMP better than other hair loss solutions, like hair transplants? Let’s dive into why SMP is the best option available today.
A Natural-Looking Solution
One of the main reasons why SMP is so effective is that it looks incredibly natural. Each microdot, or ‘tattoo,’ is expertly applied to replicate individual hair follicles, giving you the look of a closely-shaven head or fuller scalp if you’re blending with existing hair. The effect is a realistic, natural appearance that frames your face and can make you look seven to ten years younger.
No Scarring, No Hassle
A major drawback of hair transplants is the potential for scarring. With a transplant, especially the traditional “strip” method, scarring can occur at the back of the head where hair is harvested. Even modern techniques like Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) leave small scars that may still be noticeable, especially if you keep your hair short. SMP, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive process that leaves no scarring at all, ensuring a clean, natural look.
Avoiding the Risks and Limitations of Hair Transplants
Achieving full density with a hair transplant can be quite difficult. For many clients, multiple procedures are necessary to get close to the desired look. However, even after all that, it’s not uncommon for the hair on the crown of the head to thin over time, eventually leading to a return of the balding look. Hair transplants often struggle to provide lasting results in that area.
Many clients are also required to take medications, such as finasteride, to maintain their hair transplant results. Unfortunately, these medications can have serious side effects, including hormonal imbalances, reduced sex drive, depression, or even gynecomastia (breast growth in men). For some, these risks can outweigh the benefits of a transplant.
Why SMP is the Best Hair Loss Solution
At MicroHair® in Liverpool and Manchester, we believe SMP is the best solution for hair loss on the market today. Scalp Micropigmentation eliminates the need for invasive surgery, minimises the risk of complications, and provides a truly natural look.
