Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical cosmetic tattooing procedure that involves the application of specialised pigments to the scalp to create the illusion of hair follicles. This technique is often used to address various forms of hair loss, including male and female pattern baldness, thinning hair, and scars resulting from hair transplant surgery or injuries.
During a Scalp Micropigmentation session, tiny, layered dots of pigment are tattooed onto the scalp using a fine sterilised needle or micro-needle. The size, shape, and density of the dots are carefully customised to mimic the natural appearance of hair follicles and create the illusion of a closely shaved head or a denser hairline.
The procedure is performed by a trained and skilled practitioners who have expertise in both tattooing techniques and an understanding of the aesthetics of natural hair patterns. The goal is to provide a realistic and natural-looking solution to individuals experiencing hair loss without the need for invasive surgical procedures.
SMP is considered a low-maintenance and long-lasting solution, but it may require touch-ups over time to maintain the desired appearance. It can be a suitable option for people who are not candidates for hair transplant surgery or those who prefer a non-surgical approach to address their hair loss concerns.
