Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP), often called a hair tattoo, is a cosmetic procedure that uses tiny dots of pigment to replicate the look of natural hair follicles. The treatment creates the appearance of thicker hair, helping men and women with thinning hair, receding hairlines, or alopecia. It’s a non-surgical alternative to hair transplant surgery, offering an effective hair loss treatment without the downtime.
The pain level varies from person to person, but most clients find SMP to be tolerable, with minimal discomfort. Areas like the temple may be more sensitive than others. The sensation is often described as less painful than a traditional tattoo. If you’re concerned about pain, we can discuss options during your free consultation to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
SMP is a safe, non-invasive procedure with minimal side effects. You may experience slight redness or sensitivity immediately after the treatment, which usually subsides within a few hours. Unlike hair transplant surgery, there’s no risk of scarring or prolonged recovery time. Our team follows strict infection control protocols to ensure your safety and comfort.
