learn Scalp Micropigmentation

Will scalp micropigmentation damage my existing hair or follicles? Providers say SMP sits above the hair follicles and does not harm them. No study has tested this, and infection or scarring from any tattoo can affect the skin.
Can scalp micropigmentation be removed? SMP can be lightened or removed with laser, usually over several sessions and at considerable cost. Removal may be incomplete and can leave scars.
Does scalp micropigmentation hurt? Providers say SMP usually causes mild discomfort, often described as light scratching. No published study has measured pain during SMP.
