Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-invasive treatment that uses micro-needles to deposit 100% organic carbon-based pigment into the scalp. The result creates the appearance of tiny hair follicles or short hair stubble. If you are starting to thin, recede, or if you are completely bald, we can give you the look of a short buzz cut.

However, if there is a strong pattern of hair loss or just not a lot of hair density left, the client is recommended to crop it shorter.

When this is done, gray hair does not appear as gray because the hair root itself is darker. Hair only shows gray as it gets longer. Second, we use a gray-scale pigment that can be adjusted in shade to blend with lighter hair tones. We simply create a lighter dilution for blending into the existing gray hairs.

Scalp Micropigmentation is not just a traditional tattoo. Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a form of permanent cosmetics, but different tattooing or permanent makeup, the treatment replicates the look of short cut hair by using pointillism techniques. Scalp Micropigmentation utilizes different equipment than traditional tattooing, ensuring the needle and machine are designed specifically for micropigmentation of the scalp.

The main differences between Scalp Micropigmentation vs. Tattooing:

In Scalp micropigmentation we are depositing pigment into the skin at a shallower depth than tattoos, only about 2mm into the dermis. 

In SMP we are strictly making small micro dots through pointillism method, not shading or drawing lines. We use only non-toxic, 100% organic carbon-based pigment that is diluted much more than the typical tattoo inks. For this reason, it won’t break down to different colors, give off a blue or green color or look too saturated once it heals.

No, the scalp micropigmentation treatment will not grow your hair back. However, the SMP treatment will give you a replica of hair follicles that will give the scalp the appearance of a full head of hair as a short buzz cut and/or when density is added to thinning hair, the appearance of fuller and thicker hair.
