SMP provides an immediate, long-lasting solution with minimal maintenance, offering a realistic and natural-looking result. The pigments are designed to blend seamlessly with the individual's natural hair color and skin tone, ensuring a subtle yet noticeable enhancement. Unlike hair transplants, SMP does not involve surgery, incisions, or downtime, making it a safe and effective option for those looking to improve their hair density or create the illusion of a shaved head. Regular touch-ups may be needed over time to maintain color vibrancy, but overall, SMP is a low-maintenance, durable solution for hair loss.

How Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) Works
Pigment
Deposition
A specialized SMP machine with micro-needles deposits tiny dots of pigment into the upper dermis of the scalp.
The pigment mimics the look of hair follicles, creating a natural shaved or fuller hair appearance.
The needle depth is carefully controlled (typically 0.5mm-1.5mm) to avoid excessive fading or blurring.
Layering for
Density
The procedure usually requires 2-3 sessions, spaced 1-2 weeks apart.
Each session adds more layers of pigment to increase density and create a realistic look.
Different shades may be used to blend seamlessly with natural hair tones.
Hairline Design &
Blending
The technician carefully designs a custom hairline based on the client's face shape and preference (soft, defined, or slightly receded).
Feathering and shading techniques are used to create a natural transition between the pigmented area and existing hair.
Healing & Pigment
Retention
After each session, the skin heals over 5-7 days, with minor redness and scabbing.
Over time, the pigment slightly lightens as it settles, creating a natural, blended effect.
SMP results can last 3-5 years, with minor touch-ups needed over time.
