What is SMP Scalp Micropigmentation?


Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure used to address various forms of hair loss. Sometimes referred to as a hair tattoo, SMP involves the use of specialised equipment (similar to a tattoo gun, but with a smaller, finer needle) to inject pigment into the scalp.

The technique creates the appearance of tiny hair follicles that help thicken and restore the look of fuller hair. When performed correctly, the result is a natural-looking, closely-shaved appearance, or in cases with longer hair, a sense of greater density and thickness throughout.

SMP can be used to address various types of hair loss, including male and female pattern baldness, thinning hair, alopecia areata, and to camouflage scars on the scalp from surgeries like hair transplants.

Key points about SMP:

  1. Procedure: SMP is usually done over multiple sessions. The number of needed sessions can depend on the extent of hair loss, scar tissue, and the desired look. Each session lasts several hours.

  2. Pain and Discomfort: While pain thresholds vary from person to person, the procedure can cause some discomfort. Numbing creams can be used to minimise this.

  3. Maintenance: Over time, the pigmentation can fade. Touch-ups could be required for maintaining the desired appearance.

  4. Recovery: As it is a non-invasive procedure, recovery time is minimal.

  5. Considerations: The procedure should be performed by a trained and experienced practitioner to ensure the best results and avoid potential risks, such as infections or dissatisfaction with the aesthetic result.

Scalp Micropigmentation can be a viable hair loss solution for many people due to its relative affordability compared to other treatments, the non-invasive nature of the procedure, and its immediate, long-lasting results. However, individual suitability and expectations should be discussed with a qualified professional.
