Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) FAQ’s
-
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a safe, no n-surgical, advanced hair restoration technique. It is similar to permanent cosmetic pigmentation.
Each treatment is customized to meet the unique needs and aesthetic goals of each client, ensuring a perfect match with your hair color and skin type. Most clients typically require 2-3 sessions to achieve optimal results. The final result features tiny, 3D follicle replicas that are realistic and natural in appearance. The results are so subtle that they remain undetectable, with most people, including family members unable to distinguish between natural hair follicles and SMP ones.

SMP doesn’t grow hair or change your natural hair growth. It will not cause hair loss or damage to your existing hair follicles. SMP is a way to camouflage hair loss to give the appearance of fuller, thicker hair.
