Tattoo to Cover Scars on the Scalp


Camouflage Hair Transplant and Injury Scars with Scalp Micropigmentation
Scalp scars — whether from hair transplants, surgery, trauma, or injury — can be difficult to hide, especially when hair is short or thinning. At The Scalp Master, we specialize in SMP scar camouflage, using medical-grade micropigmentation to conceal visible scars and restore visual consistency to the scalp.
Whether you're dealing with FUT linear scars, FUE dot scars, or irregular scars from accidents or surgeries, our non-surgical, highly precise technique delivers long-lasting coverage that blends seamlessly with surrounding hair.
Types of Scars We Treat
Our scar camouflage SMP services help cover:
-
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) Scars
Long linear scars at the back of the scalp from strip removal -
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) Scars
Dozens or hundreds of small dot scars from hair graft harvesting -
Trauma or Injury Scars
Irregular scars from accidents, burns, or scalp lacerations -
Surgical or Medical Scars
From scalp procedures, cranial surgery, or skin grafts
Every scar is different — so every treatment is fully customized.
How Scar Camouflage with SMP Works
Scars are made up of dense, fibrous tissue that may lack pigmentation, feel raised or sunken, and respond differently to treatment than normal skin. That’s why expert application and real-time adjustments are essential.
At The Scalp Master, we use targeted pigment placement and custom ink blending to replicate natural follicles over and around scarred areas. The result? A smoother, more even appearance that reduces the visibility of the scar without surgery or downtime.
What to Expect
1. Private Consultation - We evaluate the size, color, and texture of your scar, as well as surrounding hair density. We’ll determine how well your scar can retain pigment and plan accordingly.
2. Pigment Selection & Test Dot - We select a custom-matched pigment based on your hair and skin tone. In some cases, we apply a test dot to observe how the scar tissue accepts pigment before moving forward.
3. Application in Layers - SMP is applied using fine-point needles to carefully deposit pigment into and around the scar. This builds texture and density, camouflaging the scar with follicle-like impressions.
4. Gradual Build-Up - Scar camouflage may require 3–4 sessions, depending on how the scar tissue responds. Each layer improves coverage and realism.
