What is Botched SMP?
If your scalp micropigmentation (SMP) procedure didn’t go as planned and left you feeling disappointed, you're certainly not alone. Many people experience the frustration of botched SMP, often due to poor techniques or improper application. These missteps can result in unnatural pigment colours, uneven dot sizes, or a hairline that looks artificial, which detracts from the confidence boost you hoped for. Instead of achieving a refined look, you might find yourself regretting the procedure rather than celebrating its results.
These issues often arise when SMP is performed by individuals without the necessary training or expertise. While tattoo artists may be skilled in their craft, they may not have the specialised knowledge required for scalp micropigmentation, which is a highly intricate procedure. The good news is that these mistakes can be corrected. Expert SMP repair services can help restore your scalp to a more natural, seamless appearance, bringing you closer to the look you initially envisioned.


Signs of a Botched SMP Procedure
Signs of a poorly done SMP procedure include:
- Uneven or unnatural dot sizes
- Pigment colour that doesn’t blend with your skin tone
- Misaligned or artificial-looking hairlines
- Overly dark or light pigments
- Visible mistakes or imperfections that affect the overall look

What To Expect During Your Appointment
During your first consultation, our specialists will conduct an in-depth analysis of your scalp to assess the level of damage caused by the botched SMP procedure. This evaluation will help us understand your expectations and develop a tailored plan for correction. We will take the time to thoroughly explain the SMP repair process, ensuring you're well-informed about each step and what to expect. Your comfort and understanding are our top priority.
On the day of your procedure, we will carefully prepare your scalp to ensure the best results. Using advanced pigments and precise techniques, we will work to correct previous errors, including uneven dot sizes or pigment inconsistencies. Depending on the severity of the botched SMP, multiple sessions may be required. While the procedure is generally well-tolerated, minimal discomfort may occur, but most clients are able to resume normal activities shortly after their session.
After the repair procedure, mild redness or irritation may appear, but these effects typically subside within a few days. To ensure proper healing and long-lasting results, we will provide you with thorough aftercare instructions. Following these guidelines will help you achieve the most natural and lasting outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can you correct a botched SMP procedure?
In Preston, UK, our experts employ advanced techniques and top-quality pigments to address common SMP issues like uneven dot sizes, misaligned pigments, and unnatural hairlines. Our aim is to achieve a seamless, natural look that blends effortlessly with your natural hair.
Is laser removal necessary for botched SMP?
For certain cases, we might suggest laser removal to lighten overly dark pigments. This step ensures better colour matching during the repair process, improving the final outcome and ensuring a more seamless blend with your natural hair.
What is the difference between SMP and permanent makeup?
While both SMP and permanent makeup involve pigment application, SMP is specifically designed to replicate the look of hair follicles on the scalp. It requires specialised techniques and pigments to create a lifelike appearance, especially for those with thinning or hair loss.
Can you fix bad SMP done by tattoo artists?
Definitely! Many tattoo artists may not have the specialised training needed for SMP, leading to poor results. Our experienced team can correct these mistakes, restoring a natural hairline and an overall realistic appearance.
How long does the SMP repair work take?
The duration of SMP repair depends on how extensive the original mistakes were and the desired outcome. In some cases, multiple sessions are needed to achieve optimal results. Each session generally takes a few hours, depending on the amount of correction required.
What should I expect during the healing process?
After each session, mild redness and irritation may occur on your scalp, but these effects usually disappear within a few days. We will provide you with specific aftercare instructions to ensure the healing process goes smoothly and that the results last.
Are the results of SMP repair treatment permanent?
SMP repair results are usually long-lasting, although touch-ups may be required to maintain the desired appearance over time. Periodic maintenance ensures the results remain fresh and natural.
