Understanding
Scalp 
Mirco-pigmentation 
 

Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is an innovative and non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the application of specialised pigments to the scalp. It is designed to replicate the appearance of hair follicles, giving the illusion of fuller hair. This technique is beneficial for individuals experiencing hair loss, thinning hair, or those who prefer a closely shaved head look.
 

How Scalp Micropigmentation Works:

SMP is similar to traditional tattooing; however, it requires specialised equipment and techniques.

Trained practitioners use micro-needles to deposit pigment into the upper layers of the scalp. The pigments are carefully matched to the individual's natural hair colour and skin tone to create a realistic look.
 

Considerations and Aftercare:

Aftercare: Following the procedure, clients may need to avoid sun exposure and follow specific care instructions to ensure optimal healing and longevity of the pigment.

Skin Sensitivity: Some individuals may experience mild discomfort or redness post-procedure, which typically subsides quickly.

Scalp micropigmentation offers a practical and aesthetic solution for those seeking to improve the appearance of their hair. With its ability to create a natural-looking hairline and fuller appearance, SMP continues to grow in popularity among individuals dealing with hair loss.

The Procedure:

  • Consultation: The process begins with a consultation where the practitioner assesses the client's hair loss pattern, skin type, and desired outcome.

  • Design and Planning: A design plan is created to determine the pattern and density of the pigment application.

  • Pigment Application: The practitioner applies the pigment in small, layered dots that mimic the appearance of natural hair follicles.

  • Multiple Sessions: Typically, SMP requires multiple sessions to build up the desired density and to ensure even coverage.

  • Benefits of Scalp Micropigmentation.

  • Non-Surgical Solution: Unlike hair transplant surgeries, SMP is a non-invasive procedure with minimal recovery time.

  • Immediate Results: Clients can see results immediately after each session, with full effects visible upon completion of the treatment.

  • Long-Lasting: With proper maintenance, the results of SMP can last several years, though touch-up sessions may be needed to maintain colour vibrancy.

  • Versatility: SMP can be customised for various hair loss patterns, skin tones, and preferences.
