Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a great way to camouflage male pattern baldness. It looks great until it doesn't. Fading and sun exposure can now attract unwanted attention to your scalp. Whether you’re looking to touch up a previous treatment or want to start with a clean slate, here are four things to think about before going through with the removal process.

1. Understand the Different Types of Removal Methods

Depending on your individual situation, the removal method that’s best suited for you may vary. The two most common methods are laser tattoo removal and for smaller areas excision and chemical peel. At Unthink Inc. we use the industry-leading pico speed laser, PicoWay. Using photoacoustic laser light energy the ink particles are pulverized and your body eliminates them through natural processes. In most cases, SMP can be resolved in 2-3 treatments.

2. Be Prepared For Multiple Sessions

Any type of tattoo removal is never, "One and done." The laser pulverizes the outer layer of each tattoo molecule. Think of peeling away layers of an onion. After just a few treatments the tattoo particles are gone. The number of treatments depends on the saturation of your SMP.

3. Learn About Any Risks Involved

With any laser skin treatment, there is the risk of pigmentation changes and to a lesser degree, scarring. With the advancements in laser technology and the newest mechanism of action to pulverize the ink, these side effects are rarely seen. Jim at Unthink Inc. is a certified laser operator and has done many successful treatments on both men and women for a variety of hair loss conditions.
