WHAT IS SMP
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that uses detailed microneedles to deposit pigment (ink) into the scalp. The result is the appearance of tiny hair follicles or a subtle “stubble” look that creates the illusion of thicker, fuller hair. It’s ideal for enhancing hair transplant results, camouflaging hair loss, and restoring confidence — especially when paired with treatments like FUE.
What SMP Is:
• Non-invasive treatment: No surgery, incisions, or hair transplantation involved.
• Cosmetic tattooing: Similar to a tattoo, but much more precise and superficial. The pigment is deposited at a shallower depth.
• Hair follicle replication: Tiny pigment deposits are strategically placed to mimic the natural appearance of real hair follicles.
HOW DOES SMP WORKS
Scalp Micropigmentation is a precise, cosmetic procedure that uses microneedles to deposit pigment into the scalp. The goal is to replicate the natural appearance of tiny hair follicles to give the illusion of a fuller head of hair.
HOW IS THE PROCESS LIKE
1. Consultation and Planning
• Assessment: a detailed consultation with your practitioner to define the specific areas that need treatment
• Once you’ve agreed on the design and overall look, you’re ready to move forward with your first treatment session.
2. Pigment Application with Micro-Needles
• A microneedle device deposits tiny dots of pigment into the upper dermis layer of your scalp.
• The dots mimic natural hair follicles or shaved stubble.
• Depth, size, and spacing of each dot is controlled to match real hair growth patterns.
Think of it as high-precision tattooing — but with specialized tools and techniques tailored to the scalp.
3. Multiple Sessions (Usually comes with a free follow up session)
• SMP is typically done over 2 sessions (spaced 2 weeks apart) to build up density gradually.
• This allows the practitioner to adjust shade, blend layers, and achieve a natural, 3Dappearance. Each session will improve 30-50%
• Each session lasts 1-3 hours depending on the area being treated.
4. Healing and Aftercare
• There will be no scabs and peeling after the session.
• You’ll be given aftercare instructions (e.g. avoid sweating, swimming, sun exposure for a few days).
• Pigments settle and soften slightly over time, creating a realistic look.
5. Final Result
Each session will improve 30-50%, you will notice a full complete result after 2 sessions are done.
A follow up annual touch up is recommended to refresh the look.

POST CARE FOR SMP
One of the key benefits of Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is that it’s a non-invasive, low maintenance treatment with minimal downtime. However, to achieve the best and longest-lasting results, it’s essential to follow the aftercare instructions carefully — especially during the healing period.
Here are the key post-care steps to follow after your SMP session:
1. Avoid Washing Your Scalp for the First 24 hours
Your scalp will be sensitive immediately after the procedure. Avoid washing your head or applying any water, shampoo, or products during the first 24 hours. This helps prevent infection and ensures
the pigment settles properly.
2. Avoid Heavy Sweating for at Least 4 Days
Excessive sweating can interfere with the healing process and affect pigment retention. Refrain from:
• Intense workouts
• Running or jogging
• Hot yoga or strenuous activities
3. Stay Away from Water-Intensive Environments at Least 4 Days
To avoid irritation or fading of the pigment:
• Don’t go swimming (especially in chlorinated pools or saltwater)
• Avoid saunas, steam rooms, and hot showers that produce steam
• Be cautious around rain and humid conditions.
4. Minimise Sun Exposure for at least 4 Days
Direct sun exposure can damage the healing skin and cause the pigment to fade prematurely. If you
must go outside:
• Wear a hat or cap
• Avoid long periods of direct sunlight on the scalp
