What scalp micropigmentation does

Less visible scalp.
A fuller look.

How SMP worksAn SMP artist uses a tattoo machine to add tiny pigment dots to the scalp.

Scalp micropigmentation is a cosmetic tattoo that can make a shaved scalp look fuller or reduce the contrast beneath thinning hair. The pigment is placed to blend with your skin tone and existing hair.

SMP does not grow hair. During your consultation, we’ll look at your hair loss and how you wear your hair before recommending a plan.

Start with the look you want

Keep it close.
Or keep your length.

Your starting point determines the approach.

Close-shaved SMP treatment concept
A close-shaved look

SMP for short
or shaved hair.

For a receding hairline, bald scalp, or horseshoe pattern. SMP creates the appearance of closely shaved follicles, designed to blend with the hair you keep short.

What this plan involves

Your hairline needs to suit the shape of your face. The pigment shade and amount of coverage also need to blend with the hair on the sides and back. We’ll discuss how closely you’ll maintain your remaining hair.

Longer-hair density SMP treatment concept
Density with length

SMP for longer,
thinning hair.

Keep your length while reducing the contrast between your scalp and existing hair. The aim is the appearance of density—not growing new hair.

What this plan involves

We look at where your hair is thinning and how much scalp shows through. We also discuss how future hair loss could change the plan. Not every starting point suits the same approach.

Design your result.

Plan a hairline that suits your face, then choose how soft and full the result should look.

Build the result over three sessions.

SCALPS’ standard bald treatment uses three sessions. This gives the pigment time to settle before Alex adjusts the balance and detail.

A few things worth asking

Clear answers.
No pressure.

It’s your appearance. You should feel comfortable with the decision.

Will it look like a tattoo?

SMP is a cosmetic tattoo, but its aim is the visual pattern of closely shaved follicles. The size and spacing of each dot matter. So do the pigment color and hairline shape. Ask to inspect healed close-ups relevant to your starting point; no result is guaranteed.

Do I need to shave my hair?

A shaved-hair appearance and density work have different goals. The right approach depends on your existing hair and preferred style. We discuss this before recommending a treatment plan.

What about healing and upkeep?

Your plan includes aftercare guidance and time for the skin to settle between sessions. SMP can fade over time, and maintenance may be needed. We’ll discuss care, likely upkeep, and any relevant scalp concerns before treatment.

Does SMP hurt, and are there risks?

Comfort varies. As with other cosmetic tattooing, infection, an allergic reaction, or an unwanted pigment appearance are possible. Tell your practitioner about allergies, skin conditions, and past reactions. Medical concerns may need assessment before cosmetic treatment.

Am I committing to treatment?

No. The consultation is free and does not require a procedure deposit. It is a chance to discuss suitability, options, sessions, and an exact quote. Treatment is a separate decision.

How does SMP compare with other options?

SMP creates a visual effect; it does not replace physical hair. A transplant moves hair follicles and requires medical assessment. Fibers and hair systems provide temporary or wearable coverage with ongoing care. Continuing to shave without a procedure is also a valid choice.
