Scar camouflage for hair transplant scars
Scalp micropigmentation blended into and around surgical scars so they fade into the surrounding scalp, for a more natural, uniform look after a hair transplant or restoration.
How scar camouflage works
Scar camouflage is stippling of the skin. Pigment is placed into and around the scar in tiny impressions that match the follicles around it, so the scar stops standing out as a pale line or patch.
It's a good fit for men who have had hair restoration or hair plugs. Nikki uses different needle sizes to get the look you want.

Scar tissue keeps changing while it heals. Waiting a full year means pigment goes into stable skin and blends predictably. If your procedure was more recent, Nikki can still assess it and plan the right timing.
Scars it can help with
Every scar is different. At your free consultation Nikki will look at yours and talk through what camouflage can realistically do.
Linear strip scars
The long horizontal line left by strip (FUT) harvesting at the back of the head.
FUE dot scars
Small pale dots from follicle extraction that show when hair is cut short.
Older plug procedures
Uneven, pluggy-looking areas from earlier hair restoration methods.

How old does my scar need to be?
Scars need to be at least one year old before a scar camouflage procedure.
Will the scar disappear completely?
The goal is to reduce its appearance so it blends with the surrounding scalp. How well a scar blends depends on its size, texture and color, which Nikki will assess at your consultation.
Can I combine scar camouflage with SMP?
Yes. If you have had a hair transplant or restoration procedure, SMP can help create a more natural, uniform look across the whole scalp.
What kind of scars can be treated?
Scar camouflage is designed for surgical scars on the scalp, including those from hair transplants and hair plugs.
