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.

"Dr. Serhat is a highly skilled and experienced professional in his field, and extremely successful in his treatments. Although there are many options in my city, I specifically choose to travel from Çanakkale to Bursa to see him. The results are incredibly natural; I remember having hair this thick five years ago. Based on my detailed research, I can confidently say he is one of the best in this field. The process was planned as two sessions, and both I and those around me were very satisfied with the results. The fact that the treatment is undetectable from the outside is the clearest indication of how professionally it was done. He is also extremely responsive and accessible. He provides support at any time of day, instilling confidence throughout the process. Based on my own experience, I believe everyone who chooses him will experience the same satisfaction."
