The Guide to Scalp Micro Pigmentation

What is Scalp Micro Pigmentation (SMP)?

SMP is a process used by trained practitioners where the scalp is injected with special single-use needles providing pigmentation to create the illusion of small hair follicles, leading to a clean stubble / freshly shaven appearance.

A simple SMP is a useful treatment for hair loss, those who have a hairline that is receding, or those who have hair that is thinning and desire a thicker and fuller look with their hair.

What is the process for Scalp Micro Pigmentation (SMP)?

From the initial consultation, our team will discuss with you what it is you look to achieve and study how to best go about securing the desired results. The common questions will include asking about any medical conditions including alopecia, psoriasis, and any other scalp conditions to fully understand the client’s needs.

From there, we discuss the desired hairline with the client. For those with a receding hairline, we can create a new hairline for them, whilst those with partial baldness or thinning hair, we air able to tactically go about the best action to take with making hair look thicker on your head.

Following the initial consultation, your first treatment will be between 2-3 hours. In this time, your practitioner will begin the process of using the micro-needles to apply the pigmentation to the head for the affected areas that have been marked and planned for.

The SNP process works across a timescale that can range often range up to 30 days purely for treatments. This is because treatments can be up to 3 treatment sessions and we suggest 10 days in between sessions to allow for scalp recovery from the previous treatment visit to one of our treatment centers.

The whole procedure is similar to getting a tattoo for your head of hair follicles, except the procedure is done by skilled professionals in SMP as opposed to a tattoo artist, and needles used are single-use micro-needles designed to give your hair that freshly-pigmented look. We believe it hurts less than a tattoo, so do no worry about having to have a high pain threshold.
