Scalp Micropigmentation
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a semi-permanent tattooing technique used to rejuvenate the appearance of a full head of hair. It is an excellent solution for people who suffer from hair loss e.g. partial or complete Alopecia (hair thinning or male and female pattern baldness). It is also ideal for effectively camouflaging any scalp scars that may remain from hair transplant procedures.
How Does Scalp Micropigmentation Work?
SMP also known as Trichopigmentation involves a microscopic, pointillistic technique characterised by tiny dots. In other words, it is a form of shallow medical-grade tattooing. This is accomplished using needles with shallow penetration depths (about 0.5 mm) across the scalp. Since there are only three layers of skin on the scalp (the epidermis) and five layers on the sides, the needle depth needs to be fine-tuned all the time to preserve the pigment in the epidermis.
Our approach is practical and sophisticated, utilising a specialised pigment designed for SMP treatment.
The Scalp Tattoo Procedure Offers Numerous Advantages:
- Scalp micropigmentation is an art form and can also elevate your beard game! By introducing density to areas of hair loss in the beard or improving a sparse moustache, this technique will produce the appearance of a thicker, more uniform beard.
- Scalp tattoo treatment is an excellent solution for men with receding hairlines (frontal fibrosing alopecia), as it emphasises the reconstruction and definition of the hairline.
- SMP is brilliant for crown treatments designed specifically for men. The scalp tattoo will enhance the density in thinning areas by strategically applying pigments to craft the illusion of a fuller crown. This effectively softens the stark look of balding patches.
- When performed by an experienced cosmetic tattooist, SMP results can last three to six years, potentially even longer with periodic touch-ups.
- Scalp micropigmentation will boost self-confidence and revitalise the hairline and an individual's self-worth.
- Recovery time is minimal as the microdots utilised on the scalp heal quickly and any redness will fade within a few days.

Who Is An Ideal Candidate For A Scalp Tattoo?
Scalp Micropigmentation creates the appearance of short hair or stubble, (follicle regrowth), on a selected area of the scalp.
So, if you have:
- noticeable gradual thinning on top of your head
- circular or patchy bald spots
- sudden loosening of hair
- full-body hair loss
- patches of scaling that spread over the scalp (ringworm)
- scarring on your head.
Scalp cosmetic tattooing is for anyone looking for a low-maintenance, non-invasive option.
Is SMP Painful?
Scalp Micropigmentation is a gentler alternative to conventional tattooing. Pigment implantation into the skin is shallower and more accurately controlled, making the technique of SMP much less painful than traditional forms of tattooing.
Scalp Micropigmentation Pigments
An experienced and qualified scalp tattoo artist will apply your pigments over several hours (usually more than one session). When selecting the appropriate technique and pigments, several things need to be considered, including the scalp's skin tone, hair colour, and hair type.
Scalp Tattoo - The Result
After the scalp Micropigmentation procedure, there will be no visible signs that you have had any hair restoration treatment. In most cases, you may experience a slightly red scalp, which will fade quickly, but no more than that. You will leave the Cosmetic Tattoo Clinic with the appearance of a regular hair growth pattern.
