Below are answers to the most common MSP Questions

Can MSP be used to disguise hair transplant scars?

Yes. MSP can help significantly in reducing the visibility of scars from previous hair transplant surgery. The degree of scar camouflage does depend on the fibrous tissue itself. However, by blending the scar with surrounding hair it becomes much harder to spot, almost unnoticeable in the majority of cases. Photos of some of our previous clients who have undergone MSP to help disguise scars are available on the Gallery section of our website.

How long will MSP last for?

With care and treatment, including using high sunscreen when outside, MSP will last for years. In a healthy client with a normal immune system, we expect that a full series of MSP treatments will last eight to fifteen years before needing a touch-up. In certain clients who have strong immune systems or who work in outside sun constantly, the treatment may need to be touched up sooner. Because every individual is unique this is not a question that has a definitive answer. If a touch-up is needed, No fee is charged for the treatment.

What pigments or inks are used in an MSP treatment?

Most of our pigments use combinations of metal oxides to replicate the gray scale needed for the majority of our clients. In certain cases where the clients have very fair or red hair, beta carotene additives are also used. We would like to disclose more information about our pigments but Phuket Hair Clinic has spent several years perfecting the MSP treatment and we do not wish to disclose any proprietary secrets to competitors or imitators.

Will MSP fade, smear or turn blue as the years pass?

In healthy individuals, we believe the chances are minimized. Any pigment applied to the dermal layer of the skin will eventually fade, but we expect MSP to last eight to fifteen years or more, before even minimal fading is noticed. Fading is much more prevalent in situations where regular tattoo inks are used to try and replicate MSP. Ultraviolet radiation from the sun often breaks apart some tattoo inks for easier absorption by the body resulting in increased fade rates and slight smearing.  As the inks are degraded this results in a slight color change. Without revealing too many of our trade secrets, we feel that the particular molecular structure of MSP pigments along with their deposition in the upper layer of the dermis provide the best chance for a long lasting and stable treatment.

Is MSP reversible?

Yes. MSP can be removed with an electro-optic Q switched laser, which is used to heat and break up the MSP pigmentation for easier absorption by phagocytes in the dermis. MSP is fairly easy to remove in most cases because the pigment is not deposited as deeply as normal tattoo ink. The electro-optic laser however, is very expensive and therefore, many clinics which advertise laser removal do not actually own one. Phuket Hair Clinic does not do MSP removal at its clinic but by client referrals only. We can say that with the feedback received so far, the amount of clients wishing for true MSP reversal or total removal is less than one percent.

Is receiving a MSP treatment painful?

It depends on the individual. In some cases, clients have fallen asleep while the practitioner completed the treatment. In other cases, clients experienced pain across the temples or above the ears during a treatment. It very much comes down to the individual. Most clients rate their pain on a scale of one to ten, as three to five during a treatment.

How much does MSP cost?

It depends upon the thinning or balding pattern, the area of the scalp to be covered and if any scars are present. The price range for MSP is normally from 25,000 THB to 100,000 THB not counting any application of MSP to scars. The lower price range is for clients who need simple alterations to their hairline or small areas of density added. The higher end of the price range is for clients who have little real hair remaining. Scars are more difficult to predict as regards pricing and can vary depending upon a case by case basis. 5% Surcharge for Paypal & Credit Card transactions.

The MSP process was developed by experts in their field and worked with us to develop a method of replicating hair follicles that was both realistic and low maintenance.  We initially experimented and then perfected the technique that is now standard Phuket Hair Clinic practice.

What client has had MSP the longest?

The Director of Phuket Hair Clinic received MSP in 1998. He is the client with the oldest MSP treatment and continues to proudly display his appearance as he manages Phuket Hair Clinic.

Can I speak or meet with clients who have finished their MSP treatments?

Yes, we encourage it! Understandably, many clients cannot make a decision based upon photo evidence alone; they need to see MSP up close and in person. That is why we encourage any potential client to drop by our clinic if they have the opportunity.

Will I need the consent of my parents or guardians?

It depends on where you live. In the UK and the United States, all clients under the age of 18 must have the consent of a parent or guardian before we will agree to treat them. In other countries the local laws will apply. We are happy to treat young adults if we feel it would be in their best interests and if consent is obtained. In fact we treat many young people, especially those who are suffering with Alopecia or other conditions.
