SMP, or Scalp Micropigmentation, is a cosmetic tattooing technique that effectively addresses various types of hair loss by skillfully mimicking the appearance of hair follicles.

This innovative approach not only provides a stylish shaved look but also enhances the overall density of existing hair.

SMP is expertly applied to thinning areas on the scalp or even to complete baldness, creating the convincing effect of a neatly trimmed short haircut or a light stubble on a completely bald head.

Additionally, it works wonderfully to make thinning hair appear significantly denser and fuller, boosting the individual’s confidence and aesthetic appeal.

Scalp micro pigmentation gives the look of a shaven head, a stubble shadow look or give density to long hair, the treatment will be undetectable, only you, the people you choose to tell and ScalpIQ will know

This is dependent on amount of hair loss. As a general rule you will be looking at a minimum of 4 sessions over a 6-8 week period. Each session can last between 2-4 hours.

No. We use different pigments, inks, machines, needles and techniques.

Scalp Micro Pigmentation is a specialist field of its own and requires a highly experienced technician to achieve great results.

Yes, absolutely, the benefits of scalp micro pigmentation are not limited to just men but it is a great solution for women.

Scalp Micro pigmentation may be the best option for you if you’re concerned that your diffuse thinning or bald spots are damaging your self-esteem.

We can match the pigment together with your natural hair colour and visible scalp to ensure it blends in perfectly.

No not at all, as the depth of the needle is only into the upper dermis, if anything the treatment has been known to stimulate hair growth.

Results of completed treatments will last for years, depending on lifestyle and immune system.

Many clients like to have a top-up session after 2 or 3 years just to keep their new style looking fresh

Everyone is different depending on skin types.

Immediately after treatment we will clean your treatment area and use an anti-redness topical anaesthetic so you will leave the clinic looking and feeling great.

The redness may possibly be with you for a day or two typically.

The treatment is perfectly safe, we use sterile equipment and brand new packaged needles for every procedure.

We take health & safety very seriously and are fully insured and regulated.

The honest answer is yes you are going to feel discomfort as with any tattoo procedure.

We advise clients to have eaten well and be in good health on the day of treatment.

Our pre-treatment advice also includes moisturising the scalp twice daily in the days/weeks leading up to your procedure. This will help soften the skin.

The elation you will feel after solving your hair loss issues will far outweigh any discomfort from treatment. 

For best results you would need the treatment to dry heal for 4 days after each treatment.

So this would mean avoiding sweat, water and any sorts of creams, lotions etc…

After this period you can slowly increase activity.
