Scalp micropigmentation involves injecting natural pigments under the outer barrier of the skin. The pigment is injected by using an electric tattooing device with a very fine needle. This needle is perfect for creating tiny dots under the skin which can imitate the look of hair follicles. Usually, different shades of pigments are used to achieve a more natural look.

1- Your journey of scalp micropigmentation in Istanbul starts with a consultation session. In this session, you will be discussing the details of your SMP procedure and deciding on where you need micropigmentation. Once you agree on the final appearance, you are ready for your next step.

2- Before the SMP process, your surgeon will do a patch test of the ink to see if you react to the pigment. If you clear out from the patch test the micropigmentation procedure can start.

3- Your surgeon will apply a topical numbing cream and disinfectant to the area before starting the tattooing process. Natural pigments are injected into the pores by using a fine needle.

4- Your surgeon will pay great attention to the shade and the natural growing direction of your hair throughout the application.

Who is a good candidate for micropigmentation?

People who suffer from regional hair loss, thinned hair, or male or female pattern baldness can be suitable for an SMP procedure.

The micropigmentation technique is not only suitable for covering up the tinned or bald areas, but it can also be utilised to conceal problem areas in your beard and eyebrows. Furthermore, this technique can be a great way to cover up the scars left from accidents or unsuccessful surgeries. If you have a scar on your scalp, beard or eyebrows; micropigmentation can get rid of the undesired appearance.

You should also note that scalp micropigmentation might not be as suitable for people with blonde or red hair. Also, few people are allergic to the pigments used in the procedure which makes them ineligible for micropigmentation.

What makes scalp micropigmentation in Turkey such a popular treatment? SMP procedure is advantageous in terms of reliability and quick healing period. If you get a scalp micropigmentation treatment, the results are predictable and reliable.

Scalp Micropigmentation or hair transplantation

Both treatments are in fact relevant and interoperable for those looking for a permanent result for hair loss. Scalp micropigmentation and hair transplant complement each other and can be applied to the same patient with at least one year in between the treatments.

While scalp micropigmentation does not create or transplant any hair follicles, it helps to complete the look of thinning areas. You can think of it as a complementary touch to create the final appearance. It is the filling process of thinner areas with less hair density with tattoo-like pigments that are natural. As a non-invasive solution to the problem, scalp pigmentation is a fast and secure method.

Hair transplant, on the other hand, is an operation where hair grafts are harvested from your own scalp or body and transplanted to desired areas one by one. Although there are different techniques for the procedure, the most preferred method is called FUE. In this method, the first part of the procedure is to harvest the hair grafts from donor areas. The second part involves making incisions on the recipient sections after which hair grafts are transplanted with utmost care. Regardless of the technique, hair transplant costs in Turkey are generally higher than SMP treatments.

In terms of overall comparison, scalp micropigmentation is a lower-cost long-term solution while hair transplantation is more expensive permanent option.

Is it okay to get scalp micropigmentation after a hair transplant?

Getting a scalp micropigmentation after a hair transplant can be a good idea for various reasons. If you had a FUT hair transplant operation, scalp micropigmentation can be used to cover up the strip scar left in the donor area. This way you won’t have to worry about the irregular look at the back of your head.

Furthermore, scalp micropigmentation can be used to create a denser look at the target area after any hair transplant including Ice FUE, DHI and eyebrow transplant methods. In a hair transplant operation, the hair density at the target area depends on the available hair follicles in the donor area. If the number of healthy hair follicles in the donor area is not enough to create the desired density, scalp micropigmentation can come to the rescue.

If you are considering getting a scalp micropigmentation after your hair transplant, it is advisable that you wait at least a year after your surgery to allow for complete recovery and see the full result.
