Scalp Micropigmentation

Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is an innovative treatment that produces the illusion of a fuller head of hair. Our talented aestheticians apply a tattoo-like pigment to your scalp with layered colors to mimic the appearance of the hair and shadows of a healthy head of hair. These artistically applied pigments can create a more youthful look in thinning areas.

What is scalp micropigmentation?

Scalp micropigmentation is a non-invasive procedure that reduces the appearance of thinning or balding areas of your scalp. The process is similar to a tattoo but uses specially formulated pigments, placed at the ideal depth. The pigment is applied in a layered, dot-like fashion, artistically layered with shades of color to produce the illusion of hair. Done right, it blends perfectly with your skin tone and existing hair for a flawless illusion.

The scalp micropigmentation procedure

Scalp micropigmentation is a 100 percent customized procedure that begins with an artfully crafted design to achieve the results you envision. Our talented aestheticians will work with you to craft a plan that will perfectly match your skin tone and hair color. The procedure itself begins with a topical numbing cream applied to your scalp, after which we will proceed to apply the pigment. The sensation is similar to receiving a tattoo, though most patients report that it is not particularly uncomfortable. Once the procedure is complete, you will return home with no downtime or recovery time required.

Scalp micropigmentation: Stunning results can be yours

You will see results immediately after your treatment, though your scalp will be slightly red and inflamed for a few days after the procedure. Depending on your needs and the condition of your scalp, you may require two or more treatments over the course of a month or two to achieve ideal results.
