Thinning hair in women: how scalp micropigmentation can help

A wider part or see-through crown? How scalp micropigmentation for women adds the look of density at Delaware SMP in Wilmington.

Hair thinning is common in women, but it is not talked about much. A part that keeps getting wider or scalp showing through at the crown can hit your confidence hard. Scalp micropigmentation, or SMP, is one option a lot of women do not know about.

What SMP is

SMP places tiny dots of pigment in the scalp that look like hair follicles. On longer hair, the dots go between your existing hairs. That cuts down the contrast between your hair and your scalp, so your hair looks thicker.

What it does and does not do

• It does not grow hair. It changes how full your hair looks.
• It works well on a widening part, a thin crown and around the hairline.
• You keep your hair long. Nobody has to shave.
• It is usually done over two to three sessions.

Who it is for

Women with general thinning, a wide part, or thinning after stress, pregnancy or treatment are often good candidates. A free consultation is the best way to find out if it fits you.
