Guides Scalp Micropigmentation vs Transplant
Scalp micropigmentation (Direct MPG) and hair transplantation solve different problems—but they complement each other well. Understanding both helps you choose a plan that matches your lifestyle, budget, and expectations.
When SMP shines. If you want the appearance of density quickly, prefer a closely shaved look, or need to mask thinning between clinical treatments, micropigmentation adds immediate visual fullness. It is also an option when medical reasons limit surgery.
When transplant is primary. If you want to grow real hair that you can style longer, Direct Hair Implantation™ moves your own follicles to thin areas. Results evolve as new hair cycles through growth phases.
Combination therapy. Many clients blend MPG for optical density with DHI grafts for authentic length and coverage—especially at the hairline or crown. Your doctor will map a safe sequence so healing and pigment stability stay predictable.
