I have seen the results of scalp pigmentation for people with what I presume to be naturally fair hair, and it seems that the pigmentation, although successfully creating a full look, is very faint and almost invisible in some lighting. Can a patient opt for a darker pigment, and have their real hair ever so slightly longer? Or if not, would a dark blonde/ olive hair colour allow for a darker pigment in the first place?
It is important for you to keep a few things in mind:
- This procedure is absolutely permanent, so too dark may be your destiny if it does not lighten
- There it a good chance that there will be some color change, as the first session often gets lighter when the pigment is absorbed by your body — but then again, there is the chance that it may not change color
- The risk of color change from dark to a tint of blue or green is one that will be accentuated by a darker application. These variations are what create the art of what we do for Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) and we try not to go too light or too dark.
This is why you want a doctor with experience to do the SMP process. The final color will be decided between you and your doctor.
