What is SMP?

Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure where tiny, pigmented dots are tattooed on the scalp to simulate the appearance of a closely cropped hairstyle or conceal hair loss. It's a popular choice for those seeking a low-maintenance and long-lasting solution to achieve the look of fuller hair or to complement their style.

Benefits of SMP

Natural Appearance

SMP is renowned for its ability to replicate the appearance of natural hair. Even up close, it's virtually impossible to distinguish from real hair.

Confidence Boost

Whether you've experienced hair loss due to genetics, illness, or age, SMP can help you regain your confidence and self-esteem.

Quick Procedure

Depending on the extent of the treatment, SMP sessions typically last a few hours, and most clients can return to their regular activities immediately afterward.

Non-Invasive

Unlike surgical hair transplants, SMP is non-invasive and does not require any incisions, making it a safer and more convenient option

Short Downtime

SMP clients experience a short downtime of only a few days.

Low Maintenance

SMP is low-maintenance, with no need for daily upkeep or special products. Simply enjoy your newfound look.

How is SMP Done?

Scalp micropigmentation is done by a trained technician using a specialized tattoo machine to carefully deposit small pigment dots into your scalp's upper skin layers. This process mimics the look of hair follicles, creating the appearance of a fuller head of hair or camouflaging areas with hair loss, and the technician customizes the pigment color to match your hair and skin tones for a natural result.

How do I Maintain my SMP?

To maintain your scalp micropigmentation (SMP), it's essential to protect your scalp from excessive sun exposure, as UV rays can fade the pigmentation over time. Also, use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo to clean your scalp and avoid harsh hair treatments that might damage the SMP. Regularly moisturizing your scalp can help preserve the pigment's vibrancy and keep your SMP looking fresh and natural.

How Long Does SMP last?

Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) can last for several years, typically around 2 to 5 years, before it may begin to fade or require a touch-up. The duration of SMP's effectiveness can vary depending on factors like sun exposure, skin type, and how well it's maintained, so taking good care of your scalp and protecting it from UV rays can help prolong the results.
