Comparing Toronto Scalp Micropigmentation and FUE Treatments: Key Differences

When it comes to comparing a Toronto scalp micro pigmentation treatment and an FUE treatment, it is important to consider some of the key differences.

With FUE treatments, patients who are experiencing advanced hair loss or are already bald are generally not good candidates. This is because there is insufficient donor hair to harvest for the recipient site on the scalp.

SMP, however, can be effective even on patients who are in the advanced stages of hair loss or who are bald. Furthermore, there is also a limit to how many FUE procedures one client can undergo as, again, there may eventually be insufficient donor hair to use. With scalp micropigmentation, on the other hand, since donor hair is not a factor, it can even be done on clients who have undergone a previous hair transplant and are unhappy with the results.

On the flip side, SMP is a semi-permanent procedure, which is sometimes viewed as a disadvantage because laser removal may be required to reverse the results of the procedure. Furthermore, since UV rays can cause fading over time, touch-up treatments are often required, whereas with an FUE hair transplant, touch-ups are generally not needed. Also, FUE involves the re-growth of healthy and natural hair, whereas scalp micropigmentation is simply creating the appearance of healthy hair.
