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.
