Scalp Micropigmentation With Different Types Of Hair Transplants
The two most common applications of SMP after hair transplants are from FUE and FUT treatments.
SMP After FUE Hair Transplant
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is where you will see an array of ‘dot’ scarring usually from ear to ear depending upon the amount of the donors hair that is used.
From experience, these are some of the easiest scars to camouflage and achieve the best results with SMP as they lay flat and we can blend through to your existing hair.
SMP After FUT Hair Transplant
After FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) we usually find a strip scar that is raised to varying degrees.
SMP Results from FUT can sometimes take longer to achieve as we slowly build up layers of scalp pigmentation to disguise the scar area.
How Long After Your Hair Transplant Can You Get SMP?
After a hair transplant, it's generally recommended to wait at least 9 to 12 months before considering scalp micropigmentation.
This allows the transplanted hair to fully grow and settle, giving a clearer idea of where additional pigmentation might be needed.
This also gives time for the scars whether it be FUT or FUE to fully heal.
