What is
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)?
Scalp micropigmentation (also known as SMP) is a form of hair tattoo that uses precise needleheads to replicate the appearance of natural hair follicles. It provides the look of a buzzcut look for those with complete hair loss, or fuller hair volume for those with a receding hairline, or patchy, thinning hair. SMP provides a natural, long-lasting, and effective solution for those who want an alternative to hair transplants or other invasive hair restoration methods.

Who Qualifies For Scalp Micropigmentation?
Hair loss and thinning hair is something experienced by a large percentage of the population – about 80% of males and 50% of females. Apart from the physical impact of hair loss, it can also impact a person’s self esteem and confidence. Scalp micropigmentation is a less invasive, yet still permanent solution for varying degrees of hair loss including;
- Male pattern baldness
- Female pattern baldness
- Various levels of alopecia
- Fine, patchy, or thinning hair
- Scalp scarring due to injury or surgery (includes FUE/FUT scarring, strip scarring, plug scarring, alopecia scarring or accident scarring)
- Scalp birthmarks
- SMP can also be used after a hair transplant to enhance the results

Does Scalp Micropigmentation Stimulate Hair Growth?
No. Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is not a hair loss treatment but rather a hair loss solution. The procedure effectively creates the appearance of fuller hair using a specialised microneedle to deposit tiny, layered dots of pigment that blend perfectly with any existing hair.
SMP does not stimulate hair growth or alter hair growth in any way. However, it creates the impression of new growth and resembles short stubble hair. It’s virtually unnoticeable when done well, which means only you and your SMP artist will know your hair “growth” isn’t actual hair.
Is Scalp Micropigmentation Painful?
The intensity of your hair tattooing experience depends on many factors including your pain threshold. Temples and areas of scar tissue tend to be the most sensitive areas, but most clients say they felt little to no real discomfort through the process.
Is Scalp Micropigmentation Limited To Shaved Heads?
There’s not one answer for this, as it depends on a few factors. When it comes to men with advanced hair loss, we generally suggest cropping the remaining hair down so the SMP will blend effectively with their remaining hair. However, from a stylistic point of view, shaving your head isn’t necessary if you are experiencing a milder form of thinning and only looking to add the appearance of greater density and fullness to your existing hair. We can work in between your natural hair; this also applies to women. How you style your existing hair in combination with your hair tattoo is ultimately up to you, but scalp micropigmentation looks best when paired with a hairstyle that compliments it.
For some individuals, a ‘Buzz-cut’ (5 o’clock shadow) may be the most natural-looking solution, especially if your hair loss is severe with more significant balding. Another example would be hair loss concentrated on top of your head and crown, combined with a receding hairline. Obviously, leaving length on the sides wouldn’t look very natural. Whatever the case, your SMP artist will advise you of your options and what will provide the most natural-looking result.
Costs Associated With Scalp Micropigmentation
The procedure’s overall cost depends on your hair loss pattern, the size of the scalp area that requires treatment, the presence of scars, and the number of sessions needed. In most cases, 2-4 sessions are necessary, with a 7-14 day gap recommended in between. Density is built in the first two sessions of your scalp tattoo, while the third session completes the feathering, blending and definition aspect. As leaders of scalp micropigmentation here in Australia, we charge reasonable rates for incredibly natural, long-lasting results. Here is a guide on what you may expect to pay at our clinic in Sydney *(please note this is just an estimate, and final pricing will be determined at your in-person consultation):
- Mild hair loss: $500-$1200
- Medium hair loss: $1200-$2200
- Advanced hair loss: $2200-$3500
Why Choose SMP As a Hair Loss Solution?
Scalp micropigmentation is a far less invasive hair loss treatment in comparison to a hair transplant. Here are some of the advantages of choosing SMP:
Safe and Minimally-Invasive
Unlike hair transplant surgery and other hair loss treatments that can be invasive and come with possible side effects, SMP is a low-risk procedure that requires no downtime. When performed by a highly skilled hair tattoo artist, there’s no risk of scarring, infection, or other post-procedure complications.
Easy to Maintain
Scalp micropigmentation is a long-lasting solution for hair loss that doesn’t require expensive maintenance or products, unlike other hair restoration methods. Hair tattoos may lighten over time but should not discolour or require any special treatment. Touch-ups may be needed every two to five years, depending on further hair loss and sun exposure.
Budget Friendly
Hair tattoo Sydney is generally less expensive than traditional hair restoration treatments, even with the cost of touch-up sessions factored in.
