Scalp Micropigmentation

What is Scalp Micropigmentation?

Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) deposits specialized pigment into the scalp to replicate the appearance of hair follicles. This non-surgical solution creates the illusion of density, camouflages scars, and works for men and women with various hair loss patterns—from thinning to complete baldness.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: Plan your sessions 7-14 days apart to allow healing between treatments. A typical full SMP requires 2-4 sessions over several weeks.

⚠️ Insider Note: Results depend heavily on artist skill. Review portfolios carefully—look for healed results, not just fresh work which always looks perfect. Healed photos show true outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is SMP a tattoo?

Similar technology but distinctly different. SMP uses specialized pigments formulated for scalp, smaller needle configurations, and techniques that create natural hair follicle replicas—not solid lines or blocks of color.

How long does SMP last?

4-6 years typically before requiring touch-ups. Fading is gradual and natural-looking. Sun exposure and skin type affect longevity. Touch-up sessions are affordable.

Is the procedure painful?

Mild discomfort with topical numbing—most patients rate it 3-4/10. The scalp numbs well. Most find it very tolerable, describing it as scratching sensation.

Will it look natural?

With skilled artists, absolutely. Natural results depend on proper pigment color matching, appropriate dot size, and correct density. Poor work can look artificial—choose your artist carefully.

Can I shave my head after?

Yes—SMP is specifically designed to look natural with short buzz cuts or completely shaved heads. Many patients maintain a close-shaved look.

Does it work on bald heads?

Yes—excellent results. Creates the appearance of a freshly shaved head with intact follicles. Particularly effective for those embracing the shaved look.

What about sun exposure?

Protect treated areas from excessive sun to prevent premature fading. Use sunscreen on your scalp or wear a hat when in direct sunlight for extended periods.

Can SMP cover hair transplant scars?

Yes—excellent for camouflaging FUT strip scars, donor area thinning, and FUE dot scars. Many hair transplant patients use SMP to enhance density and hide visible scars.
