Frequently Asked Questions

SMP is for men and women dealing with hair loss or reduced density, especially in cases like:

• Hormonal hair loss (androgenetic alopecia)
• Linked to a condition like alopecia areata (patchy hair loss)
• Linked to stress, medical treatment (such as chemotherapy), or scalp trauma,
• Following an unsatisfactory hair transplant or one that left visible scarring.

Yes, absolutely. Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) complements hair transplants in two key situations:

• Before: it can help increase density in certain areas, postpone the need for surgery, or even serve as an alternative if you choose not to—or cannot—undergo a transplant.
• After: it is often used to fill in areas that remain sparse, enhance overall harmony, or camouflage scars left by FUT or FUE techniques.

A full healing period after the transplant is recommended (typically between 6 and 12 months, depending on the case) before considering SMP.

It depends on the nature, location and frequency of your flare-ups. In general:

• If your condition is active, inflammatory, or widespread, SMP is not recommended until the skin has fully stabilized.
• For localized psoriasis or eczema, a medical or dermatological assessment may be required beforehand.
• A Patch Test on a small area can be suggested to observe how your skin reacts.

Your scalp’s health and safety always come before aesthetics.

Yes, it is absolutely possible to undergo SMP while using Minoxidil, but the treatment should be paused for a few days before and after each session (5 to 7 days before and after).

Topical Minoxidil can:

• Increase skin sensitivity
• Make the skin more fragile or prone to irritation during treatment
• Interfere with proper pigment retention if applied right before or after a session

You will be provided with a clear temporary discontinuation protocol to follow, ensuring optimal results and safe healing.

Yes, scalp micropigmentation can be a suitable option to visually restore the appearance of hair after chemotherapy. However, certain conditions must be met:

• The treatment must have been fully completed for several months.
• Your overall health and scalp condition must be stable..
• A written statement from your oncologist will be required, confirming there are no contraindications and that you are cleared for this type of aesthetic procedure.

Each case is unique and will be assessed with the utmost care. This approach can support self-image recovery, but it is always carried out with respect for the body, the healing process, and in collaboration with your medical team..
