Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is rapidly emerging as one of the most sought-after solutions in the hair loss industry. SMP is a specialised form of aesthetic tattooing wherein precision needles are employed to implant thousands of tiny dots into the skin’s dermal layer, expertly replicating the appearance of natural hair follicles.
NON-SURGICAL TREATMENTS
SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION (SMP)
This non-invasive, non-surgical procedure delivers immediate results, effectively concealing the visual effects of baldness and hair loss.
SMP is versatile, catering to both male and female clients, offering solutions for various hair loss concerns. These include enhancing hair density, recreating natural hairlines for men grappling with male pattern baldness when hair transplants are not viable, addressing receding hairlines, managing crown hair loss, concealing scars, burns, birthmarks, and addressing all types of alopecia.
The SMP process typically unfolds over three to four sessions, spanning approximately six to eight weeks. While SMP is a form of permanent tattooing, it gradually lightens over time. To maintain its vibrancy and realism, individuals may opt for a colour boost, generally required every three to five years following the initial treatment. The timing of these colour boosts is influenced by individual factors such as lifestyle, sun exposure, medications, and other personal considerations, and usually involves just one session.
A standard scalp micropigmentation treatment session lasts from 2-5 hours.
It takes around 7-10 days for the scalp to heal completely.
For the first few of these days, it may appear red this is a normal reaction and shouldn’t cause alarm: your body is just doing what it should.
Scalp micropigmentation often lasts for four or more years.
The pigments used in scalp micropigmentation are permanent cosmetic ones, so they resist fading and other changes over time.
The needles used for micropigmentation are finer and smaller than those used in tattooing, so the procedure is generally less painful.
SMP treatment is considered to be low-risk.
Although skin allergies are possible with scalp micropigmentation treatment, only a few people ever have an
allergic reaction to the pigments used for this cosmetic procedure.
It is important to treat your scalp like a wound after SMP treatment, as it can cause scarring if you get it wet or contaminate.
Try not to use chlorinated pools, saunas upon completing the full course of treatments and no tanning beds for 28 days after.

Post-menopausal women are more prone to experiencing hair loss, affecting approximately two-thirds of them. By the age of sixty-five, less than half of women maintain a full head of hair. In 2019, it was reported that eight million women in the UK experienced some form of hair loss.

The pigment used in SMP is specially formulated for this treatment and does not undergo colour changes to green or blue over time. Furthermore, the technique itself is fundamentally distinct: conventional tattooing primarily involves drawing, while SMP employs minuscule individual dots.
The duration of the treatment varies depending on factors such as the treated area’s size, treatment complexity, and the practitioner’s skill and speed. On average, a session typically falls within the range of 2 to 4 hours.
