Scalp micropigmentation is a non-surgical technique that deposits organic, plant-based pigments into the scalp’s dermal layer. These pigments mimic hair follicles, creating the illusion of a full head of hair. Whether you’re completely bald and want a natural shaved look or have thinning hair and desire more density—even after a hair transplant—SMP is the ideal solution for you.

Scalp micropigmentation typically requires at least two treatments, scheduled one week apart. This is because the skin, as the body’s largest organ, naturally sheds some pigment after the first session. While significant results are noticeable after the initial treatment, the second session ensures a more complete and refined outcome. In some cases, a third session may be recommended 1–2 weeks after the second treatment to apply finishing touches.

Each session typically lasts 2 to 4 hours, depending on the scope of work. The first session is usually the longest, as it involves creating the frontal hairline and establishing the foundation layer. Follow-up sessions are generally shorter, though the duration may vary based on how well the previous treatment has been retained.

Several factors influence the ideal frontal hairline for you. We customize the hairline to suit your unique features, ensuring the most natural and flattering result. Your personal preferences are also a key consideration, as there are various options for achieving a natural look tailored to each individual.

Scalp micropigmentation is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure with no downtime. You simply need to follow the 4-day aftercare guidelines. Many of our clients get treated and return to work the very next day.

Most clients find SMP less painful than a traditional tattoo, though pain tolerance varies from person to person. Your comfort, health, and safety are our top priorities, and our practitioners will make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

During your consultation, we will evaluate your hair loss and determine which hair loss class you fall into. Based on this analysis, we’ll recommend a treatment plan and style that best complements your SMP procedure.

For clients classified as Norwood Hair Loss 6-7, maintaining a shaved look is typically recommended. This is because the SMP treatment creates coverage on the top of the head, and as the hair on the back and sides grows out, it may create a visible contrast between the natural hair and the SMP.

It’s important to note that SMP is a permanent cosmetic procedure that replicates hair follicles with pigmentation, which won’t grow or create a 3D texture. For clients looking to enhance density in an existing hairline or crown, we offer filler treatments, which blend seamlessly with the surrounding natural hair for optimal results.

Yes! Scalp micropigmentation isn’t just for male pattern baldness. It’s also an effective solution for concealing scars from surgeries or injuries. SMP can effectively camouflage both FUE and FUT transplant scars.

To ensure optimal results and prevent fading or contamination, it’s crucial to follow our 4-day post-treatment guidelines. Avoid touching, washing, cutting your hair, or exercising during this period. However, you may wear a hat immediately after each session.
