Can SMP be performed with hair transplantation?
Hair transplantation uses two different major technics aka FUT or FUE both methods are very similar in basics, However; they are using distinct ways of collecting the follicle and relocating them to areas of the scalp that has lost hair. Hair transplantation needs a rich donor area of the head with healthy follicles to be collected. In ladies’ hair loss patterns general hair thinning happens, donor area does not exist or it’s not rich enough, as result, a female hair loss pattern can not be a good candidate for hair transplant.
In male hair loss patterns hair loss or hair thinning starts from the crown and scatter to the frontal region and sides. In contrast with general female hair thinning, hair thinning does not occur back of the head or sides. as result surgeons use one stripline back for the head as a follicle donor area. However, being a good candidate for hair transplantation does not mean the surgery will work with %100 success of regrowth of all follicles. Based on an article published in haelthline.com reported rate of success after 3 to 4 months of surgery could vary from 10 to 80 percent as results there are some vacancies on the scalp, plus if FUT has been used to collect follicle grafts that will create a scar line on the back of the head.
Scalp micropigmentation is a great treatment to cover all empty areas that follicles did not regrowth from hair transplantation. Also, the best technique for fading scar from surgery is the FUT method. Pixel Pigment’s safe guideline treatment requires the first scalp and scar examination and the client’s medical history must be reviewed for a safe transformation prior to procedure day. SMP that performed with its tools and technique by Pixel Pigment’s standard is highly able to reach a perfect blend between hair transplantation and scalp micropigmentation. Pixel Pigment strongly recommends a density fill procedure after hair transplant has reached its picked regrowth(usually 3 to 6months). Density fill is an SMP procedure that will place pigments in empty or low-density area of the head, dense pigments with the right technique will create the illusion of hair follicles in 3D shape as results severity of hair thinning or hair loss dramatically reduced and it gives a natural blend with hair transplantation.
