Scalp Micropigmentation
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses tiny dots of pigment to create the appearance of thicker hair:
-
Benefits
SMP is a good alternative to hair transplants because it's non-invasive, painless, and heals in a few days. It's also safe and doesn't involve chemicals.
-
Customization
SMP is highly customizable, allowing clients to choose their desired hairline shape, hair color, and overall style.
-
Procedure
SMP is typically performed over 2 to 3 sessions, with each session lasting 3 to 4 hours.
-
Differences from tattoos
SMP uses a different needle apparatus and requires different training and technique mastery than standard tattooing.
-
How it works
A technician uses a fine needle to deposit cosmetic-grade ink into the scalp's epidermal layer, just below the skin's surface. The dots are strategically placed to mimic the appearance of natural hair follicles.
