Hair Transplants and Scalp Micropigmentation : The Perfect Combination ?

Datuk Dr Inder is an aesthetic physician at Klinik Dr Inder in Malaysia .
If you have already undergone a hair transplant but are still experiencing density issues , a combination of transplant and Scalp Micropigmentation ( SMP ) will help you attain your ideal appearance . The most prevalent areas of concern are the crown and front hairline . This treatment differs in that the skin around the donor area may almost appear scarred . This may occasionally demand further treatments to achieve the desired results .
Thin hair is a common issue for both men and women . Scalp micropigmentation techniques can be used to produce the illusion of density by layering treatments and colours of micro-dots around and in between existing hair . For optimal results , older patients with greying or white hair should maintain a darker hair colour .
Hair Transplant + SMP treatment A successful hair transplant will almost definitely be incredibly expensive . This is an important choice with long-term aesthetic repercussions . As soon as your hair transplant process is complete , you will be eager to show off your new hair . Remaining scars may impact your self-esteem and affect the outcome . Combining a hair transplant with SMP is the easiest way to get a wonderful appearance . A hair transplant may return a significant amount of hair to your head , and your SMP can conceal the scars left by this procedure . If you have a hair transplant , you will want to be pleased with the results . No one wants to undergo hair transplant surgery due to scarring concerns . With scalp micropigmentation , you ’ ll acquire natural coverage all over . SMP will provide
the illusion of thick hair in areas where hair does not naturally grow .
What Are the Benefits of Scalp Micropigmentation After Hair Transplantation ?
Cover Bald Spots Following Hair Transplantation As it takes months for new hair to grow in the transplanted area , it will be bald during this period , and SMP may be an excellent solution to conceal the baldness . However , because the scalp is sore following a hair transplant , it requires time to recover sufficiently to permit micropigmentation . Another option is to undergo SMP prior to hair transplantation . There is no requirement for rehabilitation following micropigmentation ; therefore a hair transplant may be performed almost immediately .
Camouflage Scar Scalp micropigmentation is routinely used to cover scars left by a hair transplant on the scalp . Scars can be treated using SMP . The pigment is used to give scars the appearance of hair follicles , so concealing their natural colour .
Treat Thinning Hair After a hair transplant , if your new hair has grown but is still thin , micropigmentation can boost density while retaining a natural appearance .
