SMP

Scalp Micropigmentation for a fuller-looking scalp.

SMP is a non-surgical treatment that uses precision pigment placement to create the look of thousands of tiny hair follicles, giving the appearance of a natural buzzed head of hair.

What is SMP

A precise, natural-looking cosmetic tattoo technique.

SMP is designed to replicate the appearance of short hair follicles on the scalp. The result can soften the appearance of thinning hair, create a fuller hairline or give a clean shaved-head look.
