🌸 What is SMP?

 

SMP (scalp micropigmentation) is a procedure that deposits tiny amounts of pigment into the scalp to create the appearance of hair growth.

In other words, it’s “scalp-specific permanent makeup”!

It can instantly cover various scalp concerns, including thinning hair, receding hairlines, and scars.

 

 

 

 

✨ Do you have any of these concerns?

 

□ Concerned about thinning hair □ Your hairline is receding □ Your crown is becoming noticeable □ Want to cover alopecia areata □ Want to conceal scars □ Want to increase the appearance of density after a hair transplant

With a natural-looking finish, it can dramatically improve the overall impression of your scalp.

 

 

 

 

 

💡 The procedure process

 

STEP 1: Consultation The ideal pigment is selected to match your hair and skin tones

STEP 2: Design planning The design is created by taking the shape of your head and hairline into consideration

STEP 3: Procedure begins Pigment is carefully deposited with fine needles (approximately 2–4 hours)

STEP 4: Aftercare Detailed instructions are provided regarding precautions and post-procedure care

The procedure is usually performed over 2–3 sessions for a more natural, three-dimensional result✨

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

🕐 Downtime

 

・Immediately after the procedure: Mild redness or swelling ・2–3 days: Mostly settled ・Showering is permitted from the day of the procedure (avoid rubbing vigorously)

One of the best things about SMP is its very short downtime!

 

 

 
 

⏰ How long it lasts

 

・Effect: Lasts approximately 3–5 years ・When it gradually fades, a touch-up (retouch) can maintain a beautiful result

 

 

 

 

🌟 4 key benefits

 

✨ Results are visible from the day of the procedure ✨ Minimal pain ✨ Short downtime ✨ Natural-looking finish

 

🆚 How it differs from a hair transplant
