ABSTRACT

Hair loss is a common problem for both men and women with the potential to impact negatively the self-esteem and psychosocial functioning of our patients. Scalp micro-pigmentation (SMP) is a camouflage procedure, non-invasive, accessible, and that in a few hours can be used to cover practically 100% of any area of alopecia, like scaring and non-scaring alopecias.
SMP consists of choosing a pigment color that exactly matches the color of the patient’s hair, creating dots and lines that soften the contrast between the hair and the color of the scalp, thus creating an illusion of greater density. Several cases will be presented in which the SMP managed to significantly improve the quality of life of our patients in many of them in a radical way.
