Non-Surgical Hair Restoration
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)
SMP is a safe, quick, non-surgical hair restoration solution for anyone with hair loss. SMP is an innovative, solution that replicates the appearance of thicker, fuller hair. Our practitioners apply a formula of pigment (ink) to the scalp with micro-fine needles to create thousands of tiny impressions, giving the illusion of hair, similar to the artist’s technique of stippling. This affordable solution can also be used to enhance an existing hair restoration or provide an alternative to individuals who want a non-medical, non-surgical treatment suitable for all types of hair loss.
What is Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)?
Scalp Micropigmentation is an advanced cosmetic treatment where specially formulated pigment is applied to the scalp using ultra-fine needles. The pigment is deposited in tiny dots or “impressions” to replicate the appearance of hair follicles, creating the illusion of natural, fuller hair. It’s similar to the artistic technique of stippling, where thousands of micro-needle impressions are applied to match your natural hairline and the density of your hair.
Unlike other hair restoration methods, SMP does not involve any surgery, incisions, or medications. It’s a non-invasive procedure that provides immediate results with minimal downtime, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking for an efficient and hassle-free solution to hair loss.
How Does SMP Work?
During an SMP session, a trained practitioner uses a specialized micro-needling tool to apply pigment to the scalp. The pigment used is designed to match the natural color of your hair and skin tone. The practitioner will work with you to determine the best style and hairline shape that will suit your facial features and personal preferences.
The process typically involves multiple sessions, depending on the size of the area being treated and the extent of the hair loss. Each session is relatively quick, often lasting between two to four hours. Most clients see results after just one or two sessions, but a touch-up session may be needed to perfect the treatment.
Why Choose Scalp Micropigmentation?
- Non-Surgical and Non-Medical Solution
SMP offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional hair restoration techniques like hair transplants, which require surgery and long recovery times. For individuals who are not candidates for surgery, or who simply want a non-medical solution, SMP can be an ideal option. There is no need for drugs, cuts, or stitches—just a straightforward treatment with immediate results. - Quick and Convenient
Unlike hair transplant procedures, which can take months to show results, SMP provides instant gratification. The procedure is fast and efficient, and because there’s no surgery involved, recovery time is minimal. You can return to your daily routine almost immediately after the treatment. - Affordable
Hair transplant surgeries can be costly, with prices varying based on the extent of the procedure and the clinic. SMP, on the other hand, is a more affordable option that delivers lasting results without breaking the bank. The cost-effectiveness of SMP makes it a popular choice for many people seeking a hair restoration solution. - Customizable and Versatile
One of the best features of SMP is its versatility. It can be customized to fit each individual’s hair loss pattern. Whether you have a receding hairline, thinning hair, or complete baldness, SMP can be tailored to meet your specific needs. Additionally, SMP can be used to enhance the results of previous hair restoration treatments, adding density and volume to hair transplants or other procedures. - Suitable for All Types of Hair Loss
SMP is effective for both men and women dealing with various types of hair loss, including androgenic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness), alopecia areata, and scarring alopecia. The treatment can be performed on all skin types and hair colors, providing a versatile solution for anyone looking to regain the appearance of thicker, fuller hair.
SMP as an Alternative to Hair Transplants
While hair transplants are a popular option for many individuals, not everyone is a suitable candidate for surgery. Factors such as age, the extent of hair loss, and the availability of donor hair can make a hair transplant unfeasible for some. SMP provides a non-surgical alternative that works for individuals who may not be ideal candidates for a transplant or who simply prefer a less invasive option.
SMP is also a great option for those looking to complement or enhance their hair transplant results. For example, it can be used to improve the density of hair transplants by adding pigment between transplanted follicles, making the overall look even more natural and fuller.
