Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) removal with a laser, will it damage hair?

Hair follicle damage can result from laser removal of the Scalp MicroPigmentation pigment but it depends on many factor.

The main factor is the depth of at which the SMP ink was placed into the skin.  The human body has three layers of skin: the epidermis, the dermis and subcutaneous tissue.  During an SMP procedure, the ink should be placed into the upper part of the dermis just below the epidermis. Many people go deeper and when they do, the inks spread and form a blotch instead of a dot as the ink migrates in the deep fat.

If the SMP ink is placed in the correct location, damage to the hair from laser removal will be minimal because the hair goes much deeper and if the laser is limited in depth to under 2mm, it will not reach the hair follicles.  If the SMP ink was placed to deep into the dermis, then the heat from the laser might damage the hair follicles.
