Scalp Micropigmentation Repair in Melbourne

Lack of experience and insufficient training are two factors that result in unsatisfactory scalp micropigmentation treatment. An untrained professional would take on the job as a task similar to a tattoo session – a trade that is poles apart from SMP. A poor micropigmentation procedure aggravates the situation and puts the patient under more stress as they would now require SMP reparations to fix it. Mediocre scalp micropigmentation can leave a bad impression on an individual, who will be averse to the process in the future. It also damages the reputation of the clinic that is responsible for the botched procedure. In a nutshell, poor results can be caused by various problems such as inaccurate pigmentation depth insertion, inappropriate needle type, incorrect pigment, poor hairline design, and lack of layering or texture.

Every good practitioner will tell you that the success of SMP is mostly determined by the individual performing the therapy. Their expertise with needles and pigments, along with the knowledge, experience, and certification, are some aspects to keep in mind. At Scalp Ink, Melbourne, we frequently receive inquiries from clients who have had to endure poor SMP treatments. The most common question is – “Can anything be done about it now?” The answer is yes. Yes, we can help you fix a bad SMP job with our best scalp repair treatment options.           

SMP is a tattooing technique that uses a stippling pattern to imitate hair follicles cut close to the scalp. It is a relatively new technique that addresses cosmetic issues arising from hair loss. In very few cases, the procedure may be unsatisfactory and require further SMP reparations. Some common causes of a bad SMP treatment are:

1. Incompetent Professionals: If the person performing the procedure lacks proper training, the results are going to be inept. To certify their technicians, many clinics use online or weekend training courses, which is fine. However, a good clinic should have educated technicians who are versatile and familiar with various SMP applications.

1. Pigment mismatch: Poorly applied scalp or head tattoos usually turn green or blue requiring SMP repair. As a patient, it is therefore part of your due diligence to enquire about previous results of the recommended pigment. This will save you both time and money. Aspects to look for are whether the dye creates a natural look, as well as unedited photos or even transparency of communication with a client.

1. Incorrect puncture sizes and the use of inappropriate tools: SMP treatment entails delivering tiny, follicular units into the dermis with minute-sized electronic needless. If the sizes of these follicular units are incorrect, there is a higher chance of the SMP treatment failing. Incorrect follicular sizing occurs when technicians use the wrong needle size or use equipment designed for tattooing or permanent cosmetics.
