The Highest standards in Scalp Micro Pigmentation
Scalp Micro-pigmentation or SMP (as it is commonly known) is not just a tattoo for the scalp, but a highly specialized process by which tiny deposits of pigment are positioned within the dermal layer of the skin. When applied properly by a skilled practitioner, these deposits replicate the look of real shaven hair or will add the appearance of density to longer hair.
Who is the ideal candidate for Scalp Micro-pigmentation?
Anyone that is facing some form of thinning and would like to create a denser looking scalp.
This will replace hair powders and sprays permanently.

If your suffering from Alopecia.
SMP can work great for both Male and Females suffering from hair loss.
Will it look real and natural?
Smp will look real when it is done properly and under the right conditions. After looking at the your hair loss situation its easy to determine whether or not SMP will be effective for you.
What is the size of the needle?
The needle is the smallest on the market. My needle makes impressions the size of a small pin. With the naked eye, it is impossible to differentiate between a follicle made with my needle and an actual hair follicle.
Does Scalp Micro-pigmentation hurt?
The honest answer is the SMP can be uncomfortable. Some describe it as painful but some say it feels like a tickle. For this reason, it's impossible to predict how much discomfort a particular individual will experience during the procedure as pain tolerance varies with each individual.
How long does the treatment take?
Typically 3-4 hours per session. It may take up tp 3 sessions for the final result. A final touch up session may or may not be required. That will be determined after your scalp has completely healed.
How many days am I required to wait between sessions?
While it is possible to do two procedures within the same week, I recommend waiting 10-14 days to fully heal before doing your next session.
How long does the scalp take to fully heal?
The scalp will take approximately 10-14
days to fully heal and settle.
How long until I can...
Wash / wet my hair? 4 days of no heavy sweating or washing the scalp
Shave my head? 6-7 days
Workout? First couple of days no working out or heavy sweating.
Wear a hat? You may wear a hat immediately after the treatment, make sure the hat is not rubbing on the treatment site.
Go outside without sunblock? It is highly recommended, after you have completely healed, to always wear sunblock.
Will the pigment fade or change colour?
I use a specially formulated Carbon based pigment that has no blue or red undertones. There is absolutely no risk of the colour of the pigment turning blue, green or red over time. As with all permanent makeup, fading will occur as your skin ages.
Does my hair colour matter?
Yes it does, but I have pigment to match almost any hair colour.
Do I need to shave my head before the procedure?
No there is no need to shave your scalp for the procedure. However there is an ideal length which we can discuss during your consultation.
What is the Cost?
The cost will vary in each individual case. From scar concealment to fully bald or thinning scalp. Please contact me for more information.
