Who is eligible for Scalp Micropigmentation?
SMP is a versatile solution that caters to both men and women experiencing varying degrees of hair loss. Scalp Micropigmentation is the ultimate remedy for restoring receding hairlines, concealing bald or thinning spots, masking scars, and increasing hairline density. It is a non-surgical and non-invasive hair tattooing technique, which can enhance your confidence with the restored appearance of a full, natural-looking head of hair.

How do you best maintain Scalp Micropigmentation?
It’s important to protect your hair tattoo from the sun’s harmful UV rays. While the pigment is resilient, exposure to excessive sunlight can cause fading, which can compromise the natural look of your treatment. For this reason, we recommend taking precautions, such as wearing a hat and using sunscreen on high UV days, to ensure your pigment stays vibrant and beautiful for years to come.
While this is a long-lasting treatment, some individuals may require touch-up sessions as their degree of hair loss progresses over time. However, the beauty of SMP is that it can easily be adapted to your changing hair loss pattern and to blend in seamlessly with your remaining hair, ensuring that your results remain consistent and natural-looking. You can enjoy life-changing results that boost your confidence and enhance your overall appearance.
