Scalp Micropigmentation

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a cosmetic treatment designed to create the appearance of hair follicles on the scalp. It can be considered for selected individuals who are concerned about visible scalp, thinning hair, reduced hair density, receding hairline, the appearance of bald areas, or certain scars following hair transplantation.

SMP does not grow new hair and does not transplant hair follicles. Instead, carefully placed pigmentation is used to create the visual appearance of closely cropped follicles.

Scalp Micropigmentation May Be Considered For

• Thinning Hair — SMP can create the appearance of greater scalp coverage.
• Receding Hairline — It may help improve the visual appearance of selected hairline concerns.
• Reduced Hair Density — The appearance of individual follicles can make the scalp appear less visible.
• Hair Transplant Scars — Selected patients may consider SMP to improve the appearance of certain scars.

SMP vs Hair Transplant

A hair transplant moves actual hair follicles from a donor area to an area affected by hair loss. Scalp Micropigmentation creates the appearance of hair follicles using cosmetic pigmentation. The appropriate option depends on the patient’s goals and hair condition.
