Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that replicates the appearance of hair follicles using specialized pigments and microneedles. It’s like a tattoo—but with medical-grade precision and a natural look. Whether you’re dealing with thinning hair, bald spots, or a receding hairline, SMP creates the illusion of a closely-shaved scalp or added density.
💡 Benefits of SMP
Non-surgical: No downtime or scarring.
Low maintenance: No creams, medications, or daily routines.
Long-lasting results: Typically lasts 4–6 years with minor touch-ups.
Immediate results: Noticeable difference after the first session.
Safe & Effective: Proven to work for all skin tones and hair types.
👨🦲 Who Is SMP For?
Men with male pattern baldness
Women with thinning hair or alopecia
People with scars from hair transplants or injuries
Clients wanting to add density to longer hair
Anyone who wants a clean buzzed look without worrying about hair loss
🧑🔬 What’s the SMP Process Like?
Session 1 – Foundation:
We begin mapping your hairline and applying the first layer of pigment. You’ll walk out already seeing results.
Session 2 – Build & Blend:
We add density and detail, blending pigments for a seamless look.
Session 3 – Final Detail (if needed):
Touch-ups and refinements to perfect the finish.
🧴 Is It Painful? What About Aftercare?
Most clients describe it as mild discomfort—similar to a light scratching sensation. Aftercare includes avoiding sweating, sun exposure, and washing the scalp for a few days. Full healing usually takes about a week.
💰 How Much Does SMP Cost?
Pricing depends on the areas covered, but full treatments usually range from $1,500 to $3,000. It’s a one-time investment that saves years of spending on hair loss products or treatments.
📈 Why More People Are Choosing SMP
With rising demand for natural-looking, non-surgical options, SMP has become the go-to solution for both men and women. It’s discreet, affordable compared to transplants, and delivers results you can see immediately.
