Scalp Micropigmentation for Head Scar Camouflage

Many of our clients have scalp scars they wish to conceal. These scars are usually the result of hair transplant surgery, but sometimes we see clients with neurosurgery scars, accident-related scars and burns.

​

Scalp micropigmentation is an effective camouflage for these scars. For hair transplant patients, SMP can be used on both strip (FUT) and dot (FUE) scars, as well as on plug scars from prior procedures. Other types of scars are camouflaged in the same way.

​

The exact extent of camouflage is hard to predict, but most of our clients see a visibility reduction of 70% or more, rising to 90% under certain conditions. Depending on your individual circumstances, the hair may be kept longer, whereas other clients may need to shave for the best results.

Understanding Scalp Micropigmentation for Head Scar Camouflage

Scalp Micropigmentation for Hair Transplant Scars is a sophisticated, non-surgical treatment designed to effectively conceal the visible scarring that can result from hair restoration procedures. This specialised technique involves applying custom-formulated pigments to the scarred regions, creating thousands of tiny impressions that mimic the appearance of natural hair follicles.

​

The procedure is meticulously performed to ensure the pigment colour matches your natural hair and skin tones perfectly, resulting in a seamless blend between the treated area and the surrounding scalp. This careful approach makes Head Scar Camouflage an ideal solution for those seeking to reduce the visible signs of prior surgical interventions.

Common Types of Scalp Scars That Can Be Treated

Our Scalp Micropigmentation for Head Scar Camouflage treatment effectively addresses various types of scalp scarring, including:

​

  • FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) Scars: These linear scars result from strip harvesting techniques used in hair transplantation, often leaving a noticeable line at the donor site.

  • FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) Scars: Though typically less visible than FUT scars, these dot-like scars can sometimes be noticeable, particularly in patients with certain skin types or where procedures were not performed optimally.

  • Plug Scars: Older hair transplant techniques sometimes resulted in a ‘doll’s hair’ appearance or visible plug scars that can be effectively disguised with SMP.

  • Neurosurgery Scars: Procedures involving the scalp can leave noticeable linear scarring that can impact confidence.

  • Accident-Related Scars and Burns: Trauma to the scalp area can result in irregular scarring or hair loss that benefits from camouflage treatment.
