Scalp MicroPigmentation Technique
What is Scalp MicroPigmentation?
SMP (Scalp MicroPigmentation Technique)
It involves replicating tiny hair follicles using a cosmetic tattoo which creates the illusion of a close buzz cut hairstyle or adds density to a thinning crown.
Scalp micro-pigmentation is a cosmetic treatment for thinning hair or hair loss, sometimes also called a hair tattoo. A provider uses thin, small needles to deposit tiny dots of pigment (color) on the scalp. These dots give the appearance of thicker hair. Scalp micropigmentation pigments are cosmetic-grade, permanent inks.
When a skilled technician performs scalp micro-pigmentation, it can hide thinning areas on your scalp. It may also hide birthmarks or scars. The treatment can also give the illusion of having shaved hair or a “buzz cut” on people who are bald. Scalp micro-pigmentation is non-invasive and doesn’t require surgery or anesthesia.

Does scalp micro-pigmentation grow hair?
Scalp micropigmentation doesn’t grow hair or change your natural hair growth. It’s not a hair-loss treatment. It also won’t cause hair loss or damage your existing hair follicles. Scalp micro-pigmentation is a way to make it look like you have fuller, thicker hair.
