F.A.Q.
Permanent Scalp Micropigmentation:
It is a Scalp Micropigmentation with a longer lasting effect than the temporary version and consequently needs touch-ups much less frequently.
The difference between permanent and temporary solution is the type of pigment used. In both cases we are talking about pigments specific to the scalp, but in the case of permanent SMP we are talking about a pigment that cannot be phagocytosed by our body.
It is aimed at all those who desire a lasting solution. Unlike the temporary solution, which needs reinforcement on average every 6 months, permanent SMP requires less frequent touch-ups.
The frequency of touch-ups depends on subjective factors such as: skin type, sun exposure without sunscreen, personal expectations of the client, etc. We can say that on average reinforcement sessions will be needed every 2-4 years.
Over time it will lose intensity, becoming less and less visible.
The pigment loses intensity due to the continuous and natural regeneration of the epidermis in which the pigment is deposited, this causes a constant lightening over time that will result in the pigment being barely noticeable.
Absolutely not, thanks to our “Micro Point Shadow” technique, the treatment will not undergo any kind of change over the years. This phenomenon only happens if low-quality pigments are used or if the wrong technique is used.
The permanent pigment loses intensity over time, adapting perfectly to the weathering of the hair. In subsequent sessions, it will be sufficient to use a pigment with a softer shade to even out the SMP with gray/white hair.
Certainly, the treatment can be eliminated quickly with new generation lasers. The pigment will be 100% removed without leaving a trace and without damaging the hair and skin.
Temporary Scalp Micropigmentation:
The difference between permanent and temporary solution is the type of pigment used. In both cases these are pigments specific to the scalp, but in the case of temporary we are talking about a pigment that can be phagocytosed by our body and then reabsorbed over time until it disappears.
We recommend the temporary solution for people who want to try this technique, keeping the option more reversible than the permanent solution.
The frequency of touch-ups depends on subjective factors such as: skin type, sun exposure without sunscreen, personal expectations of the client, etc. We can say that on average reinforcement sessions will be needed every 6 months.
The treatment will tend to disappear if it is not touched up again. Disappearance can take a variable amount of time from person to person depending on various factors such as skin type, pigment color, sun exposure, etc.
Yes, the client can decide according to his or her needs, wanting to switch to the permanent solution or alternatively continue with the temporary solution.
Certainly, no one prohibits starting the journey with temporary SMP and then later moving on to permanent SMP. The result will always be 100% natural
General questions:
A significant difference is the depth in which the pigment is deposited; in SMP we work at a shallower depth.
Other differences include specific instrumentation and pigment types.
If the work is well done, the SMP spots will not enlarge. The change in spot size depends on incorrect operator execution and never depends on the type of pigment (permanent or temporary) used.
We recommend discontinuing medications such as Minoxidill at least 7 days before the appointment.
Avoid sunlamp or prolonged sun exposure in the days before treatment.
The front line is decided according to the customer’s needs and the operator’s experience. It will be created with special erasable pencils so that it can be corrected before treatment begins.
SMP creates absolutely no harm to the hair; in fact, the action of the needle gives rise to hyperemia, or a drawing of blood to the surface, which provides benefit for all cases of alopecia.
There are absolutely no problems with performing SMP before a hair transplant.
In case you want to perform SMP treatment after hair transplantation, we recommend waiting 6-8 months postoperatively.
In any case, we recommend seeking medical advice.
Alcohol intake in the hours before treatment is not recommended.
It is very important to choose an operator with years of experience. The photographs and videos will give you a clear idea of the style the operator adopts.
It is also important to verify the operator’s possession of the regional sanitation diploma, without which it is illegal to carry out this activity.
