SMP is considered a long-lasting treatment. While results typically last 3–5 years, touch-ups may be required over time to maintain definition as the pigment naturally fades.

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that uses micro-needles to deposit pigment into the scalp, replicating the appearance of natural hair follicles. It creates the illusion of a fuller head of hair, enhances hairlines, and conceals bald spots, thinning areas, or scarring.

SMP is suitable for men and women experiencing:

• Receding hairlines or thinning crowns

• Full baldness or patchy hair loss (including alopecia)

• Scarring on the scalp from injury or hair transplants

• A desire to add density to thinning hair without surgery

• Natural-looking results that mimic real hair follicles

• Immediate visual improvement after the first session

• Non-invasive with no downtime or scarring

• Low maintenance and long-lasting

• Boosts self-confidence and helps redefine personal image

Most clients need 2–3 sessions, spaced 1–2 weeks apart.

• Session 1: Base-layer and hairline mapping

• Session 2: Building density and blending

• Session 3 (if needed): Final detail work and adjustments
  

Discomfort is minimal. Most clients describe the sensation as a light scratching or slight tingling. We take steps to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment.

SMP is safe when performed by a qualified practitioner. Possible side effects include:

• Temporary redness or sensitivity (usually fades within 24–48 hours)

• Slight flaking as the scalp heals

• Very rare: allergic reactions or pigment migration (minimised with professional care and patch testing)

Before:

• Avoid sunburn, heavy sweating, or applying topical products to the scalp 48 hours before

• Arrive with a clean scalp and clear of products
  

After:

• Avoid washing, sweating, or sun exposure for 3–5 days

• No shaving or haircuts for several days

• Follow the aftercare guide provided by your technician

SMP is an ideal solution for crown balding and thinning because it creates the illusion of natural hair density in areas where the scalp has become more visible. The crown is one of the most common areas to show early signs of hair loss, and thinning here can be especially noticeable under lighting or from above.

By carefully placing pigment to mimic natural hair follicles, SMP reduces the contrast between your scalp and existing hair, making thinning patches appear fuller and more consistent. The result is subtle, seamless, and blends perfectly with your surrounding hair. Benefits:

• Fills in sparse or see-through areas

• Blends naturally with short or long hair

• Avoids the need for concealers, powders, or surgery

• Boosts confidence from all angles—especially from above

SMP for the crown is low-maintenance, non-invasive, and tailored to your unique hair pattern, making it one of the most effective ways to regain visual fullness and confidence.
