Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-invasive, lasting solution for hair loss that simulates a closely shaven look or enhances the density of thinning hair areas. It effectively masks scars from surgeries, hair transplants, or accidents by injecting specialized pigments into the scalp that mimic natural hair follicles. Clients achieve a revitalized appearance with what looks like a full head of hair, boosting their self-confidence.
SMP is considered a permanent solution. The results typically last 4-6 years before they start to fade, requiring minor touch-ups to maintain the look.
