Scalp
Micropigmentation

Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical, highly effective treatment for hair loss, thinning hair, and scalp scars. Using specialised pigments and ultra-fine needles, we create the appearance of real hair follicles directly on the scalp, giving you the look of a close shave, denser hair, or a restored hairline.

All treatments begin with a complimentary consultation to assess your scalp condition, discuss your goals, and design a hairline that suits your face shape and preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is scalp micropigmentation (SMP)?

Scalp micropigmentation is a non-surgical treatment that uses tiny pigment deposits to replicate the look of natural hair follicles. It creates the appearance of fuller hair or a closely shaved scalp.

Who is SMP suitable for?

SMP is ideal for people experiencing thinning hair, receding hairlines, bald spots, or conditions like alopecia. It’s suitable for both men and women.

Does scalp micropigmentation look natural?

Yes. When performed correctly, SMP is designed to match your natural hair colour and hairline. The result is subtle, realistic, and blends seamlessly with your existing hair.

Is the treatment painful?

Most clients describe the sensation as mild discomfort rather than pain. It’s generally well tolerated and much less invasive than surgical procedures.

How many sessions are needed?

Typically, 2 to 3 sessions are required to build up the density and achieve the desired result. Each session is spaced a few weeks apart.

How long does SMP last?

Results can last several years. Over time, the pigment may gradually fade, and occasional touch-ups help maintain the look.

Is there any downtime?

There is minimal downtime. You may experience slight redness after the procedure, which usually settles within a day or two.

Can I still grow my hair after SMP?

Yes. SMP does not affect your natural hair growth. It simply enhances the appearance of density and fullness.

How do I care for my scalp after treatment?

Aftercare instructions will be provided, but generally you’ll need to avoid excessive sweating, sun exposure, and washing the scalp for a few days after each session.

Is SMP the same as a tattoo?

SMP is a specialised cosmetic treatment, not a traditional tattoo. It uses different techniques, equipment, and pigments designed specifically for the scalp and natural-looking results.

Can SMP fix a receding hairline?

Yes. SMP can recreate and define a natural-looking hairline, giving the appearance of a fuller, more structured look.

How much does scalp micropigmentation cost?

Pricing varies depending on the extent of the area being treated and the number of sessions required. A consultation is recommended for an accurate quote.
