Upon reviewing multiple artifacts and medical experiments, we found some of the most useful research papers on the subject of scalp micropigmentation conducted by medical professionals who actually executed the following SMP procedures on patients and prepared reports of the objective, method, results, and conclusion of the trial. The content provided below is a summary of these experiments.
Scalp micropigmentation : a useful treatment for hair loss
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a highly sophisticated medical tattoo process for balding or thinning hair. SMP looks amazingly simple, but this novel technique must be customized for each patient because the skin in each patient differs with regard to how the scalp reacts as it holds on to the tattoo dye.
There are many variables involved with performing SMP that makes this process more of an art form than a science. SMP is a very labor-intensive process that could require multiple sessions and up to 20 hours of procedural time to satisfy the patient. This review discusses applications and technical considerations of the SMP process.
Micropigmentation as an adjuvant in cosmetic surgery of the scalp
Application of cosmetics for camouflage is time consuming, repetitive, expensive, and seldom satisfactory. Treatment of scalp scars with micropigmentation is now a popular method of camouflaging on your scalp. We want to show that iron oxide micropigmentation of scalp scars is simple, safe, and effective through using a micropigmentation system, sterile needle assemblies, and appropriately colored iron oxide pigments used in all procedures.
Due to the varying textures of scalp scars, greater force is required in some areas to achieve proper needle penetration. Once the scar area is pigmented, the surrounding scalp is also pigmented to obtain a “feathering” effect. Once the procedure is done, the cosmetic improvement after micropigmentation is always dramatic and all patients are pleased with the results. About 22% of the patients request a touch-up of the micropigmentation to reinforce the residual pigment. Based on this experience, we can conclude that Micropigmentation of the scalp is a safe and effective technique for camouflaging scalp scars.

Micropigmentation : tattooing for medical purposes
Micropigmentation, also known widely as tattooing, is being commonly used esthetically to camouflage various medical conditions related to dermatology and plastic surgery.
Our aim is to review the procedure of tattooing and its various latest medical indications through peer reviewing of the literature on micropigmentation done by a MEDLINE search to enumerate its various medical indications. The literature review revealed widespread acceptance of micropigmentation for a spectrum of diseases of cosmetic importance, especially in mucosal vitiligo. Micropigmentation is also being used for various medical indications, such as burn scars, alopecia areata, and nipple-areola reconstruction.
Scalp Micropigmentation procedure
We can conclude that the SMP procedure is relatively easy, provides permanent camouflage, and is generally devoid of any significant adverse effects. However, a number of infections can be transmitted from one patient to another if the universal precautions for sterilization of instruments used for micropigmentation are not adhered to.
The multiple experiments conducted in regards to the Scalp Micropigmentation Technique, popularly used in the beauty industry to enhance the look of your scalp, came to the conclusions that “Micropigmentation of the scalp is a safe and effective technique for camouflaging scalp scars” as well as it “is relatively easy, provides permanent camouflage, and is generally devoid of any significant adverse effects”. That being said, it is still important to maintain your scalp through carefully carrying out the after care instructions in order to avoid any type of possible infection after an invasive treatment.
