SMP for Scar Coverage

When to Consider SMP for Scar Coverage

SMP may be suitable when scalp scars remain visible despite hair regrowth. Common cases include:

• FUE donor scars visible with short hair.
• FUT linear scars showing even with longer hair.
• Injury or burn-related scalp scars.
• Surgical scars from dermatologic or neurosurgical procedures.

SMP can be combined with Scar Hair Restoration or regenerative therapies for improved blending. Outcomes depend on scar type, skin tone, and hair characteristics.

Planning Treatment and Combining Options

After assessment, factors like scar size, depth, colour contrast, and scalp health are reviewed. Dr. Sahoo may recommend combining SMP with regenerative treatments such as Autologous Cellular Micrograft Therapy, SVF Therapy, or Advanced Cell + PRP Hair Restoration to boost hair density near scars. Hair transplant revision may be advised if more volume is needed.

Patients are informed about procedure steps, pigment matching, and session intervals. Photos are taken and shared only with consent. To book, contact the clinic, bring relevant medical history, and follow preparation guidelines, such as avoiding certain topical products before treatment.

During and After the Procedure

SMP sessions are spaced to allow pigment settling and shade adjustments. Sterile equipment and medical-grade pigments are used. Aftercare includes shielding the treated area from sun, gentle cleansing, and attending follow-ups. Maintenance may be needed to keep colour match as hair and skin tones change.

SMP can be combined with hair loss treatments like topical medications or low-level laser therapy to maintain scalp appearance. Patients receive guidance on timelines and realistic expectations.
