Can SMP Camouflage Hair Transplant Scars?

Quick answer: SMP can be used to make some scars, including linear scars from strip hair transplant, less noticeable by adding pigment that blends with surrounding hair. Results depend on the scar’s texture and colour, so an assessment is needed first.
- Scar assessment: Healed, stable scars are easier to work with.
- Expectations: Camouflage reduces visibility; it does not remove the scar.
- Next step: Ask Folli-Doc at a free consultation. See SMP Kuala Lumpur.
