GlossaryScalp Micropigmentation (SV)

non-surgical procedure using tiny tattoos to mimic hair follicles

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves the application of tiny, tattoo-like dots of pigment onto the scalp to mimic the appearance of hair follicles. This technique is often used to create the illusion of a fuller head of hair, camouflage scars, or enhance the look of a shaved head, making it a popular option for individuals experiencing hair loss or thinning.
