Losing your hair can feel like losing a piece of yourself. Whether you’re dealing with thinning, baldness, or scarring, Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) offers a non-surgical, long-lasting solution. Unlike traditional hair transplants, which often lead to patchy results and scars, SMP uses a specialized tattooing technique to mimic the look of natural hair follicles. This cutting-edge treatment creates the illusion of a shaved head or buzz cut.
How Does Scalp Micropigmentation Work?
SMP deposits tiny dots of medical-grade pigment into the upper dermis of the skin, replicating the appearance of hair follicles. The process is precise and tailored to match your natural hair color and skin tone. Over two to three sessions, SMP builds layers to create a full, natural look that blends seamlessly with your scalp.

Who Can Benefit from SMP?
Scalp Micropigmentation addresses a variety of conditions, including:
- Thinning hair

What to Expect During Your Appointment at Scalp Evolution
During your consultation, our SMP technician will ask questions about your hair loss goals and evaluate your scalp. They'll help determine if you are a candidate for SMP and discuss the treatment in detail.
During the procedure, they will use a fine needle to deposit pigment into your scalp. Each session lasts 2–4 hours, with several days between appointments to allow your skin to heal. While the process involves some redness immediately after, most people experience no downtime and can resume regular activities, avoiding sun exposure and heavy exercise during the healing period.
SMP is meticulous and customized for you, making sure every tiny dot enhances your appearance for the most natural results.
Is There Downtime After SMP?
Most people can return to work within a day of their treatment. While mild redness might persist for a day or two, there’s no scarring or need for extended recovery time.
Are There Side Effects?
The procedure is considered safe, with very rare occurrences of an allergic reaction to the pigment. Following proper aftercare instructions minimizes the chance of side effects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is SMP the same as a regular tattoo?
No, SMP is not the same as a regular tattoo. While both use pigment and a needle, SMP is a highly specialized technique designed to replicate natural hair follicles. The pigments are deposited in the upper dermis (the layer of skin just below the surface), and the process requires precision and expertise to create a realistic hairline and full scalp coverage.
Can SMP work for people with short hair?
Yes, SMP is an excellent solution for those with short hair or even no hair at all. The treatment mimics the look of a shaved or buzzed hairstyle, blending seamlessly with any remaining hair.
What are the key differences between SMP and hair transplants?
One of the key differences is that SMP is non-surgical and does not involve the movement of hair follicles. Unlike hair transplants, SMP provides an immediate visual effect without the risks of scarring or inconsistent results. Additionally, SMP is more affordable and requires little to no downtime compared to surgical alternatives.
Are touch-ups required after SMP?
While SMP is a long-lasting solution, some clients choose to have occasional touch-ups to refresh their look, adjust their hairline, or account for natural pigment fading over time. These are typically minor sessions and are not required often.
Is SMP suitable for people with sensitive skin?
Yes, SMP is designed to be safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin.
