Scalp micropigmentation is always a better option than removal, but we will discuss the best treatment for you during your consultation. There are a few instances where SMP correction is not possible, including:
• The hairline is too low
This is where the SMP hairline goes below your natural hairline would have been. This can make the forehead look shorter and out of proportion. Unfortunately, there is no acceptable way to disguise this. This type of problem highlights the importance of having a skilled SMP technician who can measure your features and visualise the result correctly.
• The SMP pigment dots have spread

During the SMP process, tiny dots of pigment are injected into the skin to create the
appearance of hair follicles. If these dots are too big, the result does not look realistic.
Pigment dots can also spread due to a few reasons:
o The needle used was too thick.
o The dots were placed too close together.
o The pigment was injected too deep.
Unfortunately, there is no way to hide or correct dots that have spread, so this will require
removal and correction.
• The colour has turned blue/green
Scalp micropigmentation is usually carried out with similar colours – dark grey for dark haired clients and a lighter grey for fair haired clients. Unfortunately, dark grey tones can look cool, especially if the pigment is injected too deep, because there are so many layers of skin above. The SMP dots can also turn blue/green if the pigment was not formulated properly or warmed up before use.
The pigments used for scalp micropigmentation are very concentrated and contain higher levels of carbon than standard tattoo ink. As your body breaks this down over time, carbon-based pigments can appear blue/green/grey. Experienced SMP artists avoid this by using a little red pigment to counteract the effect.
Once colour has been applied to the scalp, there is no easy way to correct it. The best option is to remove it and reapply the micropigmentation.
