Scar camouflage with scalp micropigmentation
A strip scar from an older hair transplant, a field of small FUE dots, or a scar from surgery or injury. SMP places pigment into and around the scar so it blends with the surrounding scalp.
Scar tissue takes pigment differently from normal skin, so camouflage work is slower and more layered than a standard hairline. The first session tests how your scar accepts pigment at a conservative tone. Later sessions build on what held. Expect the scar to soften visually rather than vanish in one sitting.
FUT strip scars at the back of the head are the most common request. With the hair around them cropped short, a well-camouflaged strip scar is very hard to find. FUE dot scars respond well because each dot is small and the surrounding skin is normal.
If you are planning a transplant and want to keep the option of a close crop afterwards, SMP over the donor area is often done later, once the scar has fully matured, usually twelve months after surgery.
