Frequently Asked Questions

Scalp micropigmentation (also known as SMP or a hair tattoo) is a non-surgical solution for hair loss, where natural pigments are carefully deposited into the scalp to replicate the look of real hair follicles. The result? A restored hairline and the appearance of a full, closely-shaven head of hair – or added density to thinning areas.

1. Camouflage scarring from previous hair transplant surgeries and enhance the results of a hair transplant.

2. Restore the look of a full head of hair even on a completely bald scalp caused by alopecia.

3. Make thinning hair look thicker by reducing the visibility of the scalp, creating the impression of greater volume.

Scalp micropigmentation is considered a permanent treatment. While the results are long-lasting, they may gradually soften to a lighter shade over time. To keep your look fresh and defined, we recommend a quick touch-up every three to six years.

Scalp micropigmentation is carried out over three sessions, with each session typically lasting between one and four hours, depending on the area being treated. Sessions one and two are spaced one week apart, followed by a third session approximately one month later to complete and perfect your look.

The pigment used in scalp micropigmentation is specially formulated for hair tattoos and will not change colour like traditional tattoo ink. Over time, the shade may gradually lighten, but it will never alter to a different colour.

In most cases, yes. For a standard SMP hair tattoo, you will need to shave your hair using clippers, a facial shaver or a razor. For the most natural results, we recommend keeping your hair at a 0.5 grade or shorter. That said, everyone is different, so we encourage you to experiment and find the shaving routine that looks and feels best for you.

Scalp micropigmentation can also be effective on longer hair, creating the appearance of thicker, fuller coverage if there is enough natural hair remaining. The treatment works by replicating the look of hair follicles, reducing scalp visibility in the same way it does on a shaved head. However, if there isn’t sufficient hair to achieve a seamless blend, we may recommend shaving for the best results.

Colour and density are gradually built up over three sessions to achieve a flawless blend with your natural hair. We begin with a slightly lighter shade in the first session, then make subtle adjustments in the following sessions to ensure the perfect colour match and a seamless, natural-looking result.

Yes, scalp micropigmentation is highly effective for women with thin or thinning hair. By camouflaging the scalp and reducing visible skin, it creates the appearance of thicker, fuller hair and restores natural-looking density.

Yes, scalp micropigmentation is considered a good and effective treatment for alopecia, providing a non-surgical solution to create the appearance of a fuller, denser head of hair by using specialized needles to deposit natural pigments into the scalp to mimic hair follicles.
