SMP Scar Camouflage Marlow — FUE and FUT Donor Scar Treatment
Scalp micropigmentation conceals surgical scars from hair transplant procedures and traumatic scalp injuries. FUT linear donor scars, FUE extraction scatter patterns, and burn or accident scarring are all treatable using modified technique protocols designed for fibrous tissue pigment uptake.
FUT Linear Scar Camouflage
FUT (strip harvest) leaves a linear scar 25–35 cm in length across the occipital region. SMP camouflage deposits pigment inside the scar tissue and in the surrounding 2–3 mm border to optically dissolve the contrast boundary. Expected result: 70–90% visual reduction over 2–3 sessions.
| Parameter | Standard SMP | FUT Scar SMP |
|---|---|---|
| Machine speed | 80–120 Hz | 40–80 Hz (reduced trauma) |
| Sessions required | 3 standard | 3–4 for scars |
| Expected coverage | 90–95% concealment | 70–90% (scar tissue limits uptake) |
| Typical cost (Marlow) | — | £400–£700 |
FUE Scatter Pattern Camouflage
FUE extraction creates 1,000–4,000 individual circular punch sites (0.8–1.2 mm diameter) across the occipital and parietal donor zones. SMP fills these sites with colour-matched deposits, visually dissolving the circular contrast pattern. Treatment requires 2–3 sessions and achieves 80–90% visual reduction of punch-site visibility.
Minimum Wait Time After Transplant
A minimum of 12 months post-FUT or FUE surgery before SMP scar camouflage is the standard recommendation. This ensures the scar has fully matured and stabilised. Some practitioners require 18 months. Confirm with your Marlow practitioner during consultation.
