A hair transplant might seem like the ultimate fix for hair loss, but the reality isn’t always that simple. Many people expect a full head of hair, only to be disappointed when the density isn’t quite what they hoped for. Whether due to limited donor hair, poor graft survival, or uneven coverage, hair transplants don’t always deliver perfect results..
While hair transplants restore hair to thinning areas, they have limitations. Some common issues include:
Insufficient donor hair – There’s only so much hair available to transplant, which can limit coverage.
Graft survival rate – Not all transplanted hairs survive, leading to patchy or thin areas
Overly spaced grafts – To maximise donor hair, surgeons space out grafts, sometimes making hair look thinner than expected
Progressive hair loss – A transplant doesn’t stop natural hair loss, meaning surrounding areas may continue to thin over time.
For those left with a less-than-ideal result , another transplant isn’t always the best option
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-invasive procedure that creates the illusion of thicker, fuller hair by depositing pigment into the scalp. When used alongside a hair transplant, SMP can:
✔
Increase the appearance of density
– By filling in gaps between transplanted hairs, SMP makes hair look
thicker and fuller
✔
Blend thinning areas
– SMP smooths the transition between transplanted and natural hair for a
seamless look
✔
Offer an alternative to a second transplant
– Instead of undergoing another expensive and invasive procedure, SMP provides a cost-effective, long-lasting
solution
