I use scalp micropigmentation, or SMP, to create tiny hair follicle replications on the scalp with custom-blended pigment. This density treatment gives the illusion of thicker, more luxurious hair and can address thinning at the temples, front hairline, crown, or back of the scalp. It is safe, requires no downtime, and fades gradually.
Non-surgical Hair Loss Solution For Women
So you’re experiencing sudden hair loss or thinning. Many women experience hair loss at different times in their lives, it seems like it appears suddenly and can really take a toll on your self confidence!
If you are seeing hair loss or thinning at the temples, front of hairline, crown, or back of scalp, (take a look at your scalp in the sunlight) a new, easy, and affordable solution has recently burst onto the scene, it’s safe and the results are immediate.
Scalp Micropigmentation Procedure, or SMP as it is commonly called, is a cosmetic tattooing procedure and it’s the fastest growing hair loss solution in the country. Tiny little hair follicle replications are created and actually tattooed into the scalp using a very fine needle and special custom blended SMP pigment. It is more effective, convenient and realistic looking than fibers or sprays.
The procedure is called a “density treatment” which gives the illusion of thicker, more luxurious hair! This process typically requires 3-4 sessions, approximately one and half hours each.
The first step is the consultation, in which we discuss placement of pigment and what you wish your desired results to be. I then custom create your color with top of the line specialized SMP pigments.
One of the first questions I get is “Does it hurt?” Although everyone’s tolerance is different, It is virtually painless, in fact most of my clients fall asleep. You will need to wait 4 weeks after SMP until you can have your hairstylist do your color touch up, but the combination of SMP and color is amazing.
SMP for women can last for 5 to 10 years and fades out gradually. Many women love the effect of a “shadow root” for blondes or grey haired individuals. SMP works beautifully with darker hair as well, and just blends right in. You will want to shade your center part for a thicker, luxe effect.
SMP is safe and requires no down time. It works well with extensions, wigs and other hair replacement alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is SMP for bald and thinning hair?
I use scalp micropigmentation, commonly called SMP, as a cosmetic tattooing procedure for bald and thinning hair. I create tiny hair follicle replications with a very fine needle and custom-blended SMP pigment. The treatment gives the illusion of thicker, more luxurious hair and can be used on several scalp areas.
How many SMP sessions are typically needed?
I typically complete this density treatment in three to four sessions. Each session lasts approximately one and a half hours. We begin with a consultation to discuss pigment placement and your desired results. I then custom create your color using specialized SMP pigments before the treatment sessions begin.
Does scalp micropigmentation hurt?
I explain that everyone’s tolerance is different, but the procedure is virtually painless. In fact, many of my clients fall asleep during treatment. SMP uses a very fine needle to create tiny hair follicle replications in the scalp, and the process does not require downtime afterward.
How long does SMP for women last?
I tell women that SMP can last for five to ten years and fades out gradually. It can create a shadow-root effect for blondes or individuals with grey hair, while also blending with darker hair. Shading the center part can add a thicker, luxe effect.
Can I color my hair after SMP?
I ask clients to wait four weeks after SMP before having their hairstylist complete a color touch-up. After that waiting period, the combination of SMP and hair color can create an amazing effect. The pigment is custom created during the consultation to suit the desired placement and results.
Can SMP work with other hair replacement options?
I use SMP alongside extensions, wigs, and other hair replacement alternatives. The treatment adds the illusion of density to the scalp and hairline, while these alternatives can remain part of your hair solution. SMP is safe, requires no downtime, and can blend with darker hair or create a shadow-root effect.
