WHAT IS SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION (SMP)?

SMP is a hair loss solution for men and women. Specialized pigment is carefully applied to epidermal layer of the skin replicating hair follicles and creating the illusion of a closely shaved scalp. It can also be used for those who have thinning hair, to create a density fill in the scalp.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SMP AND REGULAR HEAD TATTOO?

Regular tattoos are done by using ink and as it starts fading it turns blue or green. The pigment used for your scalp micropigmentation is different. It is designed to maintain its intended color. It is carbon based, and is undetectable. It will match your hair’s natural color. We only use the products that are specifically designed for SMP.

IS SMP REVERSABLE?

Yes. SMP can be removed with an electro-optic Q switched laser, which is used to heat and break-up the SMP pigmentation for easier absorption by phagocytes in the dermis. SMP is fairly easy to remove in most cases because the pigment is not deposited as deeply as normal tattoo ink. It is carbon based.
