What is Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)?

​

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical hair restoration solution that uses tiny, natural-looking pigments to replicate real hair follicles. This creates the appearance of thicker, fuller hair and is one of the most effective treatments for balding, thinning hair, and receding hairlines.

Is SMP suitable for both men and women?

​

Yes! SMP works for both men and women experiencing hair loss, alopecia, thinning hair, or scarring. Whether you want to restore density, redefine your hairline, or conceal bald spots, SMP is a versatile solution tailored to your needs.

How is SMP different from a regular tattoo?

​

Unlike a traditional tattoo, SMP uses specialized scalp pigments and equipment designed to create natural follicle impressions. The pigments are placed more superficially than tattoo ink, ensuring a realistic look that blends seamlessly with your natural hair.

Does SMP hurt?

​

Most clients report that SMP is minimally painful—similar to a light scratching or mild sunburn sensation. Numbing creams can also be applied to keep you comfortable throughout your session.

How long does an SMP session take?

​

An SMP treatment session typically lasts 2–4 hours, depending on the size of the area being treated. Larger or more detailed procedures may take longer.

Are SMP results permanent?

​

SMP is long-lasting but not permanent. Results typically last several years, but touch-up sessions are recommended every 3–5 years to keep your look sharp and natural.

What’s the recovery time after SMP?​

​

There is virtually no downtime after SMP. Mild redness may appear for a day or two, but most clients return to normal activities immediately.

Can SMP be done on all skin types and hair colors?

​​

Absolutely. SMP is customized for all skin tones and hair colors. Skilled practitioners blend pigments that match your natural look for seamless, undetectable results.

Is SMP safe?​

​

Yes. The pigments used in SMP are hypoallergenic and specially formulated for the scalp. Allergic reactions are very rare, but a patch test can be done beforehand for peace of mind.

Can SMP hide scars?​

​

Yes. SMP is highly effective at concealing scars from hair transplant surgeries, injuries, or burns, blending them into the surrounding hair for a natural finish.

How many SMP sessions will I need?​

​

Most clients achieve their desired look in 2–3 sessions, with occasional touch-ups as needed. Each session builds density and ensures natural, long-lasting results.
