What is Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)?
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical hair restoration treatment that creates the appearance of natural hair follicles on the scalp. It is an ideal solution for thinning hair, receding hairlines, or complete baldness.
The procedure involves our expert practitioners using specialized micro-needles to deposit natural pigments into the scalp. Each follicle is carefully placed to mimic natural hair growth, creating density, shape, and a realistic hairline. SMP provides long-lasting results, giving clients a fuller, more youthful look without surgery.
The procedure involves the practitioner drawing blood from the client and placing it into a device called a centrifuge. The centrifuge rapidly spins the blood samples, separating components of the blood from the platelets. The completed solution is then injected into the desired areas, achieving similar results to dermal fillers but with additional benefits.
Benefits of Scalp Micropigmentation
Scalp Micropigmentation offers an effective solution for men and women experiencing thinning hair, receding hairlines, bald patches, or complete hair loss. It creates the illusion of closely shaved hair or increased hair density without surgery, medications, or hair transplants. The treatment requires minimal downtime, delivers immediate visible improvement, and provides long-lasting results for several years. SMP is also suitable for concealing scalp scars and enhancing the appearance of previous hair transplant procedures.
Aftercare & Recovery
Recovery after Scalp Micropigmentation is quick and straightforward. Mild redness or slight sensitivity may occur for the first 24–48 hours and usually resolves on its own. To achieve the best healing and pigment retention, clients should avoid excessive sweating, direct sun exposure, swimming pools, saunas, and harsh scalp products for several days following treatment. Our specialists provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting, natural-looking results.
