Condition Addressed

Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to address the appearance of thinning hair, baldness, or scalp scars by creating the illusion of fuller, thicker hair.
This treatment is suitable for individuals experiencing male or female pattern baldness, alopecia, thinning hair, or those seeking to camouflage scars from hair transplant surgery or injuries.
SMP involves the use of specialized micro-needles to deposit medical-grade pigment into the scalp’s dermal layer, replicating the look of natural hair follicles or a closely shaved scalp.
It is an effective solution for both men and women at any stage of hair loss, as well as for those with scalp deformities or skin conditions that have resulted in visible patches or irregularities.

Downtime

Downtime after scalp micropigmentation is minimal, making it one of the most convenient hair restoration options available.
Most people can return to work and daily activities immediately following each session, as there is no need for anesthesia or surgical recovery.
Mild redness or tenderness may be present for a few hours to a couple of days after treatment, but these effects are generally mild and easily concealed with a hat or scarf if desired.
The healing process between sessions typically takes about 4 to 7 days, during which it is recommended to avoid intense sun exposure, heavy sweating, swimming, or activities that might introduce bacteria to the scalp.
Multiple sessions—usually two to four—are required, spaced about a week apart, to achieve natural-looking, layered results.

Outcomes

Outcomes of scalp micropigmentation are immediate and striking, with the treated area appearing fuller and more even after the first session.
Results become more refined and natural-looking with each additional session as layers of pigment are added for depth and realism.
SMP is considered a semi-permanent solution, with effects lasting three to five years or longer before touch-ups may be needed due to gradual pigment fading as the skin naturally sheds.
The procedure is highly effective for concealing bald spots, thinning areas, and scars, offering a realistic and low-maintenance alternative to hair transplants or topical concealers.
Most clients report a significant boost in confidence and satisfaction with their appearance, enjoying the look of a fuller head of hair or a well-defined shaved scalp.

FAQ

What is Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)?

SMP is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses medical-grade pigments to create tiny dots on the scalp, mimicking the appearance of natural hair follicles. It’s ideal for thinning hair, receding hairlines, or bald spots.

How does SMP work?

A technician deposits pigment into the epidermis/upper dermis using microneedles. The dots vary in size and angle to replicate a buzz-cut look or add density to existing hair.

Who is an ideal candidate?

Men/women with pattern baldness, alopecia, or scarring.
Post-transplant patients seeking enhanced density or scar camouflage.
Not suitable for those unwilling to shave surrounding hair (if completely bald).

Is SMP permanent

Yes, but pigments fade slightly over 3–6 years, requiring touch-ups. Results are classified as long-lasting, not lifelong.

Does SMP look real?

Yes—when done by skilled practitioners, it creates a hyper-realistic, shaved-hair effect that blends seamlessly with natural hair.

How many sessions are needed?

2–4 sessions, spaced 7–10 days apart, with each session lasting 2–4 hours.

Is there downtime?

No downtime—resume work immediately. Temporary redness lasts 1–3 days.

Does it hurt?

Minimal discomfort—most compare it to a light scratching sensation. Numbing creams are optional.

Can SMP hide scars?

Yes, it effectively camouflages transplant scars or surgical scars by blending pigment with surrounding hair.

How to prepare?

Avoid blood thinners (alcohol, aspirin) 24 hours prior.
Shave your head 1–2 days before the session.
