Scalp micropigmentation can create the visual impression of closely cropped follicles or greater density in selected areas. Planning colour, dot size, spacing and hairline design carefully is essential for a natural-looking result.
SMP is a cosmetic camouflage procedure in which specialized pigment is deposited in the superficial scalp to resemble hair follicles. It does not grow hair or stop ongoing hair loss. It may be used to soften the contrast between hair and scalp, recreate a shaved look, or camouflage selected scars.
Consultation includes scalp and hair-loss assessment, discussion of future hair-loss progression, pigment matching and hairline design. Treatment is generally staged so density and colour can be built conservatively. Aftercare and sun protection help support pigment stability.
SMP may suit adults seeking camouflage rather than regrowth. Active dermatitis, psoriasis flare, infection, pigment allergy concerns or unrealistic expectations require treatment or further discussion before proceeding.
A consultation is important because results, session numbers, downtime and suitability vary. Active infection, pregnancy, certain medicines, a tendency to form keloids, or an underlying medical condition may change the recommended plan.

Where appropriate, this service may be combined with hair transplantation or hair-loss care.
No. It is a visual camouflage technique and does not change the number of hair follicles.
Pigment can soften over time. Longevity varies with skin, technique, sun exposure and aftercare, and a touch-up may eventually be considered.
