SMP for Afro Hair

Scalp Micropigmentation for Afro Hair 

At TrichoSynergy Hair & Scalp Micropigmentation Clinic in London, we specialise in SMP treatments for Afro textured hair loss conditions.   SMP can be used to cover any gaps on the hairline where the skin looks ‘shiny’ to minimise the look of balding. 

Partings can be filled out using the diffused technique,  giving the hair a fuller appearance. 

It works particularly well when there is still some hair surrounding any bald patches to add texture to. This is truly a life-changing treatment, and after one appointment any thinning has been erased.  At least two treatments are required and sometimes a third to balance or top- up where necessary.


We treat both male and female patients with a range of scalp and hair loss conditions. 

Creating a fuller look with SMP - This is the ideal treatment for women with thinning hair and hair loss due to menopause. 

Scalp micro pigmentation is perfect if you are a black woman who is thinning on the top or across the crown section of your head.  The micro pigmentation treatment helps to create density and the appearance of a natural, full head of hair.  SMP adds the look of density to the scalp to cover and thinning areas and assist longer hair by concealing this and allowing it to look healthy and full.


We also assist women with Afro textured hair transitioning from relaxers (growing out the chemically processed/straightened hair) back to their natural curly/textured hair preventing hair breakage. 

SMP for Male Afro Hair Loss

SMP is a great solution for a thinning afro hairline or temples, and black male thinning hair. The key here is to keep it looking as natural and unaffected as possible. During the consultation, we will discuss restoring the hairline to a reasonable position, whilst taking all facial and age-related features into consideration. 


Where male pattern baldness is prolific, the issues will be addressed section by section.  Ultimately, the hair will have to be shaved close to the scalp (which is on trend), so the procedure will look natural and blends effortlessly. When expertly executed, SMP is an excellent solution for Male Pattern Hair Loss and can be extremely rewarding.  The hair appears to have thickened and grown in afro hair, especially black hair thinning at the crown.  Your hair will be looking like the freshest trim ever!


The SMP treatment will need to be ‘topped-up’ at around 6 months’ intervals, but not only does this keep you looking fresh, it helps to manage the overall cost in the long term.

A 3D shaved effect appears during the maintenance phases, when the initial dots have slightly faded out and the new ones are more prominent, creates the illusion of randomness and depth. 


Since the scalp skin varies from one person to another, from 3mm to 8mm the scalp micropigmentation needle passes through the epidermis to deposit pigment into the superficial dermis at a depth of 0.5mm.


If a wig, prosthesis or topper is used, then it must only be worn during the day and without glue for one month after the SMP Treatment. 


If scarring is present due to long term infections, such as folliculitis, then it may be possible to cover and lessen some of the damaged surface of the scalp, and make it look less unsightly.  It usually requires several sessions of SMP to accomplish a natural, blurred finish when the scalp is scarred.


Please note: Corrective work is undertaken by Victoria Elliott, where an unsuccessful SMP treatment has been carried out elsewhere, and you are unhappy with the result. I’m happy to see if I can rectify this for you.


SMP is useful for topping up the appearance of hair volume after a hair transplant procedure.  Where a patient has had the maximum available grafts, but the scalp is not as dense as required, then SMP can fill in the spaces and the added hair texture makes for a very pleasing, natural looking result.

"Do you need an Afro Caribbean Hair  Trichologist."

African type textured (afro hair) is very fragile, it knots and tangles easily, especially in climates such as the UK's which lacks humidity.  TrichoSynergy Consultant Trichologist, Victoria Elliott is a black hair loss specialist.

Afro Hair Loss SMP Treatments for women

Hair loss is a common condition affecting Black women. Wigs, weaves, and over-use of relaxers and other harsh chemicals are the main causes of female Afro hair loss problems.


Victoria Elliott says about Afro Hair - "Commonly, I am seeing many black women with what is deemed Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia. It is a common type of scarring hair loss seen in black women of 35+. Affecting the hair at the front/top of the head and fanning out to the sides (the vertex). 

Also, during the menopause and post menopause the plummeting oestrogen levels impact the hair volume and hair thinning is commonplace.  This compounds the balding in this already traumatised area of the scalp.


SMP offers various solutions for thinning black hair, afro natural hair and black hair, afro, textured hair thinning at the crown for African/Caribbean women. 


Here at TrichoSynergy, I treat women looking to regain their confidence and feel better about how they look. All you need to do is make an appointment for an in-depth consultation with Victoria Elliott, Consultant Trichologist, black hair, afro hair loss specialist – don’t delay a moment longer.


Before and After

SMP for short hair

 

In the first image (Before SMP) you can see the hairline has receded due to traction alopecia.


The second image (After SMP) shows the natural looking results and a defined hairline where SMP has been carefully done to normalise this persons appearance. 

 

 

  

SMP for women with thinning hair or Female Pattern Hair Loss 

 

In this image (Before SMP) you can see the widened parting which is typical of female pattern balding, where the parting resembles a Christmas Tree.

 

In the second image (After SMP) the hair looks fuller and naturally thicker.   The SMP treatment has blurred the thinning scalp making the parting appear of normal width.   As you can see this is a very natural and satisfying result.

 

 

  

SMP is the answer to concealing thinning hair spots after menopause.

 

A diffuse SMP treatment will cover your scalp in areas where the partings have become widened - giving the appearance of thickening the surrounding hair.
