What scalp micropigmentation actually is
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical technique that deposits pigment into the scalp to replicate the appearance of tiny, closely-shaved hair follicles. Done well, it restores the look of a full head of short hair — sharpening hairlines, adding density to thinning areas, and camouflaging scars.
The process
1. Consultation
We review your hair loss pattern, skin tone, and goals — in person or during your free consultation — and set expectations for realistic, natural results.
2. Design
Your hairline or density pattern is mapped out before any pigment is applied, matched to your face shape and natural growth direction.
3. Pigment Application
Using sterile, single-use needles, tiny deposits of pigment replicate the look of individual hair follicles across one or more sessions.
4. Healing & Touch-Up
Pigment settles and softens slightly over 2-4 weeks. A touch-up session refines density and color for a long-lasting, natural result.
Who SMP is for
- Men and women with thinning hair, pattern baldness, or a receding hairline
- Anyone with diffuse thinning or alopecia looking for fuller visual density
- Clients wanting to camouflage scars from hair transplants, surgery, or injury
- Anyone who prefers a low-maintenance alternative to daily hair fibers, sprays, or concealers
