Scalp Micropigmentation
also SMP, tricopigmentation, dermopigmentation
A hair tattoo or scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical, superficial cosmetic tattoo that gives the illusion of a close buzz cut hairstyle on a bald head or density to a thinning crown. The procedure can also be used to conceal scars from hair transplantation and hide the visual impact of burns or scars on the head. Scalp micropigmentation can be performed on all ethnicities. Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves depositing pigment into the scalp to create the appearance of tiny hair follicles, thereby giving the illusion of a fuller head of hair. Unlike traditional tattoos, which penetrate deeper into the skin, SMP is designed to be more superficial, targeting the epidermal and upper dermal layers. This approach helps in avoiding the appearance of larger, more noticeable impressions, resulting in a more natural look. One of the advantages of SMP is that the hairline can be adjusted or touched up with relative ease, allowing for modifications over time as desired.
