SMP removal / Trico fading

[ZML88]

Hi,
I'm seriously considering getting either SMP or tricopigmentation done. There is a lot of information available online about both but very little evidence of removal / fading. I like the idea of trico so I can at least sample the look on myself before potentially going the permanent route, but only if it fades 100% (and evenly). And I like the low maintenance and low cost of the SMP, but I figure that in 10 - 20 years I may not want it anymore.
I'm yet to see a photo of somebody who's just had laser removal on SMP or somebody who has let their Trico fade completely. And it makes me wonder, are these procedures removable?
Any replies will be greatly appreciated, especially photos or personal experiences. Thanks

I haven't seen any pics myself of someone who has had it removed completely and not had any further SMP or HT work done afterwards but i have read posts and seen pics of people who have had bad work removed, hairlines adjusted and temple points changed etc by using laser first to remove it then re doing it........ I think the importance of choosing a good clinic will lesson the chance of you wanting it removed but it is a good question.

I've seen good and bad experiences with laser removal. Smp is harder to remove and after many sessions his scalp was damaged heavily from all the laser


There is a thread recently about repair of bad smp

Research a lot before getting this done

I have video and pictures of clients who had to have permanent Scalp Micropigmentation removed. I'm happy to share them with you if you like. Just send me an email [email protected]

My clinic only uses temporary pigments. I've had the procedure done myself and it without a doubt disappeared 100%. Our pigments are only injected at .5mm (upper dermis). The particle size and shape in our pigment is also responsible for it being temporary.

Would it be possible to share some on here if you block the faces out? would love to see some examples of removal.

bullitnut,
Here is a picture of one client who had permanent done at a local competitor. The work is obviously poorly done and not consistent. Lucky for him it was not covering every inch of his head. I watched this client get the work lasered and it literally worked like an eraser. I have video also that I'll post after I block his face out. The technician said the darker spots that lingered should disperse over time. The laser (Picosure) explodes the pigment, which is why it's so painful, and the body absorbs whatever is left. This was after 1 session of laser. He will have to wait 3 months before having another one, and then a few more months before we do temporary.
