Scar camouflage uses SMP to break up and blend scalp scars, including FUE and FUT hair-transplant scars, into the surrounding hair. Pigment is matched to the follicle pattern around the scar until it stops catching the eye.
A smooth, hairless scar stands out because it has no follicles to interrupt the light. Transplant strip scars, old surgical scars, and injury scars all read as a bare line against textured hair.
SMP fills that line with the illusion of follicles. We stipple pigment across and around the scar so it blends into the density beside it, which is often enough to make it disappear at a normal conversational distance.
We check the scar’s texture, color, and the hair around it to confirm SMP is the right fit and to set realistic expectations.
Pigment is matched to the surrounding follicles and layered so the scar reads as density rather than a line.
A follow-up pass fine-tunes the blend. The result is stable for years with the occasional touch-up.
It makes most scars very hard to see at a normal distance by filling them with the look of follicles. Results depend on the scar’s texture and color, which we assess honestly at your consultation.
Yes, scar tissue can hold pigment differently than normal skin, so we work in careful layers and may need an extra pass. This is exactly why hand-placed technique matters.
Scar work starts at $600 depending on the size and number of scars. You will get a firm quote once we have seen the area.
Most clients find it very tolerable. Scarred areas can feel different than normal scalp, and we adjust our approach and use numbing to keep you comfortable.
