What is SMP?
Scalp Micropigmentation, or SMP, is a natural hair loss treatment and thinning hair treatment for men and women that uses pigment and micro needles to create tiny hair follicles throughout the scalp, with realistic results.
Whether your hairline is receding, thinning, or balding, or if you have alopecia or want to hide a hair transplant scar, SMP treatments can truly make a difference—not just in appearance, but in your confidence. Where other hair replacement products and hair growth methods might fall short, our professional SMP process gives results you can see just after a few treatments.
As a non-surgical hair replacement technique, we apply a painless, non-invasive hairline tattoo so you get the look you desire.
