Scalp micropigmentation is a cosmetic procedure that makes your hair look fuller. It’s also sometimes called a “hair tattoo.” This procedure covers bald spots or thinning hair, but it doesn’t treat hair loss itself. We class SMP as semi permanent make up. 

What Is Scalp Micropigmentation?

During scalp micropigmentation, we use a thin needle to deposit tiny dots of colour on the scalp. The dots vary in size and depth, creating the appearance of thicker hair. Scalp micropigmentation can cover thinning areas on your scalp, birthmarks, or scars. It can also be used to create the look of a buzz cut on someone who is bald. 

How Does Scalp Micropigmentation Address Hair Loss?

Scalp micropigmentation is a way to conceal thin hair and bald spots. The procedure doesn’t require surgery or anaesthesia, so you can quickly get back to your normal routine. There aren’t many side effects to the tattooing process, but minor redness may last several hours. You can use numbing cream before the treatment if you wish.   

Compared to a hair transplant, scalp micropigmentation is less invasive because it requires no surgery or incisions. It’s also less painful, costs less, and doesn’t require any downtime.
