Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is an advanced, non-invasive cosmetic treatment designed to replicate the appearance of natural hair follicles through precision tattooing techniques. The process involves depositing thousands of tiny micro pigment droplets just beneath the surface of the scalp using specialised equipment. These pigments are meticulously placed to mimic the size, shape, and colour of real hair follicles, creating the illusion of a full head of hair or adding density to thinning areas.

Scientifically, SMP relies on the principles of dermatology and pigmentation. The pigments used in SMP are specifically formulated to remain stable in the skin, resisting colour changes over time. This is critical because the scalp’s skin is unique in terms of thickness, texture, and vascularisation, which requires precision in depth and pigment type for optimal, long-lasting results. Unlike traditional tattoo ink, which can bleed or fade inconsistently, the specialised pigments in SMP are designed to retain their form and shade to ensure a natural appearance.

The treatment is also safe and effective due to the sterile, controlled environment in which it is performed. The pigments are hypoallergenic, and the process itself involves minimal discomfort, with no incisions or long recovery times, making SMP a scientifically-backed solution for hair loss that is both durable and aesthetically pleasing.
