What Is Scalp Micropigmentation?
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure where micro-fine dots of medical-grade pigment are deposited into the scalp to replicate the appearance of hair follicles. SMP can create the look of a closely shaved head, add density to thinning areas, camouflage scars from FUT or accidents, and blend seamlessly with existing hair and transplant results — with immediate, natural-looking results matched to your skin tone and hair colour.
Immediate Results
Visible improvement from the first session — no waiting months for growth.
Non-Surgical
No incisions, no grafts, no recovery period required.
Scar Camouflage
Effectively hides FUT scars, accident scars, and alopecia patches.
Low Maintenance
Results last 3–5 years with minimal upkeep between touch-ups.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
When performed by an experienced practitioner with properly matched pigments, SMP is virtually undetectable — even at close range.
Results typically last 3–5 years before a light touch-up session is needed to refresh the pigment.
SMP can be lightened with laser treatments, though complete removal may require multiple sessions. We recommend a thorough consultation before proceeding.
