Scalp Micropigmentation in Dubai:

Scalp micropigmentation is a non-surgical cosmetic tattooing technique in which a fake hairline is designed or the illusion of hair is created on a bald scalp using colored pigments. This is a durable hair restoration alternative that creates dots of different sizes and spaces for natural light and shadow on the scalp. The pigments are made up of carbon-based ink without any iron oxide. 

What makes SMP popular in Dubai?

A majority of the population in Dubai prefers non-surgical hair loss procedures to reduce any complications of hair transplant surgery. Scalp pigmentation comes in a hope where all other options like PRP and laser therapy are not working. This virtually pain-free solution camouflages different kinds of alopecia and can effortlessly create a globally trending buzz cut look. A majority of individuals prefer SMP because it is best suited to the hot climate of the UAE to provide the safest and most durable results.

How is scalp tattooing done?

Scalp Numbing:

A topical numbing cream is applied to the scalp and left for 30 minutes. This step will help to manage pain. The area will be cleansed properly after anesthesia.

Dots Creation:

The expert will utilize a medically graded SMP machine with fine microneedles. The tiny dots of pigment will be deposited into the upper scalp layer. 

Hairline Creation:

During the first session, the practitioner will create a hairline and a slighter density layer. Minor pigment dots will be created to assess your skin’s reaction to them. 

Layering Adjustment:

During the second session, the expert will add more layers of dots for the desired results. The dots are placed in multiple directions to create the illusion of naturally looking hair. 

Aftercare Journey:

Healing timeline (day 1 → 3  months)

• Day 1-3: There will be redness on your scalp, and the color of your pigment will appear darker with some swelling. 
• Day 4-7: Your redness will reduce, but the formation of tiny scabs will start. They will fall off within 5 to 6 days. 
• Week 2-3: Your pigment will start settling, and the area will heal. The follow-up sessions will be arranged to adjust the required intensity. 
• Months 2-3: The scalp will heal after the first month, and the pigment will settle within 3 months.
  

Summer SMP Care:

Hot climates can affect the longevity and results, so for the first 10 days, do not allow direct sunlight to reach your scalp. Avoid sweaty activities and stay in cool temperatures as much as you can. For long-term care, do not skip sunscreens, maintain cleanliness, and keep your scalp hydrated. 

Optimal Winter Care Tips:

In winter, there is a risk of dryness, so if you are taking this treatment in winter, then make sure to avoid harsh indoor heating and overheating for 10 days. For long-term protection, wash your scalp with lukewarm water and apply a non-greasy moisturizer to prevent dryness. Do not skip sunscreen in any case. 

Results – Before & After

Additional Tips to maintain the results:

• Cover your head with a hat during sun exposure. 
• Do not harshly rub or scrub your scalp. 
• Take touch-up sessions to refresh the color of the tattoo. 

Does SMP create the best hairline for Men?

Yes, SMP creates the best possible hairline for men, resembling a closely shaved buzz cut look. The best hairlines are never straight, and our experts use pointillism for soft and slightly irregular edges that naturally break up at the skin line. The hairline is also carefully crafted according to the age of the individual. The hairline of a mature man is slightly receded, while a youngster chooses a sharper line with bolder styles. 

Alternative Hair Revival Options:

• PRP: The patient’s own blood is centrifuged and injected into the scalp to stimulate follicles and boost hair productivity. 
• Low-level laser therapy: The expert utilized a special device that emits red light to stimulate cellular activity and hair density. 
• Hair transplant: This is a hair restoration surgery that relocates live hair follicles from one portion of the scalp to another to promote their growth.
