What is Scalp micropigmentation and how does it work?
What is SMP?
‘SMP,’ or ‘Scalp Micropigmentation,’ is a cutting-edge procedure where skilled artists apply pigment to the scalp, creating the illusion of a fuller head of hair. This technique is gaining immense popularity due to its safety, non-surgical nature, easy maintenance, and cost-effectiveness compared to other lengthy hair loss procedures.
HOW DOES SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION WORK?
Your journey with Scalp Micropigmentation at Scalp Ethic begins with an initial consultation with our trained experts. The SMP procedure consists of three to four sessions, each building upon the previous one. Our highly-skilled professionals prioritise your comfort while enhancing the density and realism of your scalp.
In each session, a specially tailored pigment matching your natural hair color is used. The process, akin to a traditional tattoo, involves creating thousands of tiny replicated hair follicles on your scalp. The end result is virtually indistinguishable from a real shaved head, even up close.
Beyond achieving the appearance of a dense shaved head of hair, SMP at Scalp Ethic offers transformative possibilities, including creating a new and lower hairline and filling bald spots on the crown. This unique solution is tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual.
Rest assured, your SMP artist has embarked on a similar journey, making this the final stop on your hair loss worries.
