Hi all,
I am thinking proactively about the future, and how SMP could be used to camouflage FUE donor scars. However if there is one thing I have learned is that I will never ever again jump into something without the proper research beforehand.
We know that there have been tattooing for thousands of years and they are considered to be pretty safe. However, to my understanding SMP is different in two important ways. It is injected into the upper layer of the skin and not the deeper layer where regular tattoos go and the ink used has a smaller molecular structure (although I am not sure about this)
Whether it is temporary or permanent, I have questions regarding their safety and their effectiveness and cosmetic value
Safety:
Permanent SMP:
1: The first and most important: can we be sure that the substance that is injected into the upper layer of the skin will in fact stay there and will not travel anywhere else in the body entering the lymphatic system for example and or can we be sure if it is get's carried away, it will not cause problems down the road like cancer etc?
2: What exactly happens when the ink fades? I would assume it fades because the molecules brake up and some of the molecules get carried away by our system.
3: What happens when we try to remove SMP? I would assume again that the laser breaks down the molecules and the small particles get carried away by our system.
Temporary SMP:
1: what happens when the ink fades, how does it get excreted by our body exactly? Does it enter our lymphatic system? Can we be sure that it will not cause problems like cancer down the road?
2: I have read that temporary ink particles are coated in silicone. To my knowledge, silicone can't be excreted from the body. What happens to the silicone when the ink fades, where does it go? What happens when we are repeating the temporary SMP? Are we accumulating silicone in our body without the knowledge of it's long term effect?
Effectiveness and cosmetic value:
1:How does temporary and permanent SMP work in scar tissue, will it fade or will the ink flow everywhere in the scar tissue creating a smudgy look? Where can we see the photos of stellar results?
2: If an SMP fades and needs a touch up doesn't that mean that you will only get a new layer of ink on top of the faded layer of ink ultimately creating a big splodge on your head?
I would really like if some experts in the field could share his/her knowledge.
Thanks.
