Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) — also known as a hair tattoo — is a non-surgical, cosmetic treatment that replicates the look of natural hair follicles by implanting tiny pigment deposits into the scalp. The result? The appearance of a clean, full buzz-cut or added density to thinning areas — without surgery, medication, or downtime.

What is SMP - Scalp Micropigmentation?

  • Cosmetic Tattooing: SMP uses micro-needles to apply pigment in a way that mimics real hair follicles, giving the illusion of short, shaven hair or enhanced density.

  • Hair Loss Solution: Perfect for men and women experiencing thinning hair, pattern baldness, alopecia, or receding hairlines.

  • Non-Surgical & Low Maintenance: No scalpels, no grafts, no scarring. Just visible results with minimal upkeep.

  • Natural-Looking Finish: When done right (like at SMP London), the blend is so precise, even close-up it looks authentic.

  • Versatile Use: Great for adding density, camouflaging scars (including post-transplant), and enhancing or restoring hairlines.

How SMP Works

  • Precision Pigment Application: A skilled practitioner uses a specialist tool to place tiny pigment dots just below the skin’s surface.

  • Custom Colour Matching: Pigment is carefully matched to your natural hair and skin tone for seamless results.

  • Layered Over Sessions: Typically done over 2–4 sessions to gradually build up the effect and tailor the density.

  • Quick Recovery: No long recovery or major disruption — you’ll be back to your usual routine in no time.
