Hair Transplant – What It Can and Can't Do
A hair transplant is a surgical procedure in which hair follicles from the donor area (usually the back of the head) are transplanted to balding areas.
- Goal: Fill in affected areas with new growth
- Reality: Sometimes there isn’t enough hair for full coverage
Common issues:
- Donor area doesn't provide enough grafts
- Result is patchy or thin
- Thinning areas remain visible
- Scars from the procedure are noticeable
Many patients are disappointed after a transplant – either due to poor results or unrealistic expectations. But there’s a solution that can complement it.
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) – A Visual Trick for Thicker-Looking Hair
SMP is a non-invasive procedure using pigments to create a shadowing effect on the scalp that mimics the look of denser hair. Up close, it's micro-dots; from a distance, it's the illusion of depth that reduces the contrast between skin and hair.
- Works great for thinning hair
- Enhances transplant results
- Camouflages FUE/FUT scars
- Lasts 2–4 years without surgery or downtime
Important: SMP Has Its Limits
SMP is a two-dimensional solution – it works visually, not physically. It doesn’t add volume but creates the optical illusion of a denser hairline.
If you have large completely bald areas, SMP can’t simulate a full, three-dimensional hairstyle. But it can dramatically improve appearance, reduce contrast, and create seamless transitions between hair and scalp.
Combination of SMP + Transplant = Best Results?
For many, combining transplanted hair with SMP is the key to a complete look.
- SMP fills visual gaps between grafts
- Blends areas with sparse or uneven growth
- Hides donor or crown scars
- Reduces the need for additional surgeries
After SMP, many of our clients are satisfied with their appearance for the first time.
Why Clients Choose SMP
- Visually boosts density in thinning hair
- Complements poor or partial transplant results
- Camouflages FUE/FUT procedure scars
- Ideal for those not eligible for a transplant
