Scalp Micropigmentation..

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is the leading non-surgical hair loss solution that creates the appearance of natural hair follicles using tiny micro-dots of pigment. This advanced cosmetic treatment is suitable for men and women experiencing baldness, thinning hair, receding hairlines, or scalp scarring — helping you look fuller, denser, and confident without surgery.

Whether you’re beginning to notice recession, dealing with diffuse thinning, or have complete hair loss, SMP can restore a look similar to a short, barbered hairstyle or add density to existing hair.

What Is Scalp Micropigmentation?

Scalp Micropigmentation, often called SMP, is a specialist cosmetic technique that uses natural-looking pigment to replicate the appearance of hair follicles on the scalp. A finely controlled device places tiny dots of colour into the skin, creating the illusion of a full head of close-cropped hair or thicker density across thinning areas.

Unlike traditional tattooing, SMP uses scalp-specific pigments and placement strategies to ensure a natural result tailored to your hair colour, skin tone, and desired look.

How SMP Works

  1. Consultation & Design
    You’ll begin with a personalised consultation to define your ideal hairline and treatment goals.
  2. Pigment Application
    Using precise micro-needles, pigment is deposited into the scalp’s upper layers in tiny, deliberate “follicle” points.
  3. Layering & Sessions
    Results are built over multiple sessions to refine density and create seamless realism.
  4. Healing & Aftercare
    After treatment, there’s minimal downtime, and we’ll provide clear aftercare guidance so your SMP heals cleanly and beautifully.

What Does SMP Treat?

Baldness & Receding Hairlines

SMP creates the look of a full head of hair or a defined, natural hairline even if you’re completely bald.

Thinning & Density Enhancement

Pigment placed between existing hairs boosts the appearance of volume and thickness where hair is thin.

Scar Camouflage

It can mask the appearance of scars from transplants, injuries or previous surgeries by blending pigment into the scar area.

SMP Treatment Overview & Expectations

How Many Sessions? – Most clients complete their SMP transformation in 2–4 sessions, spaced several weeks apart to build depth and perfect the look.

Session Length – Individual sessions can last between 2–4 hours depending on the size and detail of the area being treated.

Longevity – SMP results can last for many years, with occasional touch-ups recommended as pigment softens over time.

Is Scalp Micropigmentation Right for You?

SMP can benefit anyone looking for a natural hair restoration look — whether you’re dealing with pattern baldness, general thinning, or scarring from past procedures. It’s important to work with experienced practitioners who understand scalp anatomy, pigment behaviour, and realistic hairline design.

SMP does not regrow hair, but it conceals the visual effects of hair loss with a natural, low-maintenance aesthetic solution.

FAQ’s

Does scalp micropigmentation look natural?

Yes. When performed by an experienced practitioner, scalp micropigmentation is designed to closely replicate the appearance of natural hair follicles. Pigment colour, dot size and placement are carefully matched to your skin tone and hair colour to ensure realistic, subtle results.

How long does scalp micropigmentation last?

Scalp micropigmentation is a long-lasting solution and can remain visible for several years. Over time, the pigment may gradually soften or fade, and a maintenance touch-up can be carried out if required to refresh the appearance.

Is scalp micropigmentation painful?

Most clients describe SMP as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. Sensation levels vary depending on the area being treated, but the procedure is generally well tolerated and far less uncomfortable than traditional tattooing or surgical hair restoration.
