Scalp Micro Pigmentation (SMP) Company Salford
Your hair is personal. But as we all know, it trickles into your public life from the moment you step outside your front door, be that for a walk, a job interview or a date. Physical impressions count but far more vital are the upkeep of your self-image. SMP Salford can help you achieve your desired results quickly and for a very good price.
When your hair starts to recede, thin or you’re suffering from Alopecia, it can knock the wind out of you. You just don’t feel that your mirror reflects who you are, and you’re right - it isn’t, and it doesn’t have to be. The hair tattoo SMP treatment from SMP Salford will enable you to build your confidence.
What you’ll find at first Google search is a number of surgeries and hair transplants available to you. These are offered at great costs which aren’t guaranteed to bring you the expected results, not to mention require invasive surgery and ample recovery time.
This is where micro pigmentation from SMP Salford can become the perfect non-surgical solution when suffering from a variety of hair loss problems.
What is Scalp Micro pigmentation (SMP)?
Think of it as a hair tattoo; the procedure, equipment and end-result is not all too different from what you may experience at a tattoo parlour; the ink is injected into the skin to create a permanent look and in this case, it’s the imitation of shaved hair follicles (short hair stubble). This is the insertion of tiny dots which are layered on your scalp to create natural depth and definition.
Scalp Micro pigmentation Salford can effectively camouflage bald spots, areas where you may be thinning and even allows you to choose your hairline to give you the clean, effortless and modern look of a buzz cut.
SMP Salford can be the perfect alternative (or solution) to hair transplants in the following cases:
- ✪ Male pattern baldness
- ✪ Alopecia – in covering and camouflaging the scarred scalp
- ✪ Receding hairline – this is done by applying scattered pigments across the scalp, and extending the hairline
- ✪ Hair transplant scarring
- ✪ Hair thinning – SMP adds tone between the areas of thinning hair to give an appearance of thicker and fuller hair.
We offer a free consultation to provide you with a tailored treatment plan and make sure you get an accurate idea what kind of results you can expect.
How does Scalp Micro pigmentation work?
Using micro needles, the pigment is directly deposited into the scalp into the dermal layer of the skin to create the appearance of tiny hair follicles.
You’ll be able to have your pick in pigment shade, styles (i.e. defined, medium or soft) and hairline (where applicable). We provide you with expert consultation to help you choose which is likely to best blend seamlessly with your skin tone and existing hair.
Depending on the level of work required, the treatment can average around 2-4 sessions in total and can take anywhere between 3 to 4 hours. It’s important to note however that there may be variation in this depending on each individual case.

Consultation
This consultation is used to help us get an accurate idea of what it is you’re looking for and providing you with accurate end-results you can expect at the end of treatment.
This is also where we measure your hair loss and walk you through the different styles and options available to you and help you decide what look to ultimately opt for.
Treatment sessions
As a general rule, the initial sessions is where we insert the pigment into your scalp evenly and create your new hairline. Where needed, the following sessions involve the adding of extras where required; this includes extra colour, follicles and shading.
Is SMP the same as a tattoo?
In broad terms – yes. But there are differences. We use different ink, and smaller needles to answer to the finer and minute work required to create a realistic look. SMP also doesn’t penetrate the skin as deep as a tattoo would.
