SMP (SCALP MICRO PIGMENTATION) - Frangipani Skin & Body clinic

How It Works

Scalp Micropigmentation works by placing specialised pigment into the upper layers of the scalp to replicate the appearance of natural hair follicles.

Tiny impressions are strategically applied to create the illusion of greater hair density

The treatment is built gradually over multiple sessions for the most realistic result

The outcome is a natural-looking hairline and the appearance of fuller, thicker hair.

Why Choose Scalp Micropigmentation

Scalp Micropigmentation is ideal for clients wanting to create the appearance of fuller, denser hair. By placing tiny pigment impressions into the scalp, this treatment replicates the look of natural hair follicles and helps reduce the contrast between the scalp and existing hair.

Whether used to restore a receding hairline, camouflage thinning areas or conceal scars, Scalp Micropigmentation offers an immediate and long-lasting solution that delivers natural-looking results with minimal maintenance.

Recovery

Scalp Micropigmentation requires minimal downtime, and most clients are able to return to their normal routine shortly after each session.

Mild redness or sensitivity may be present for 24–48 hours

Tiny impressions will soften and settle as the pigment heals

Avoid washing the scalp, heavy sweating, and direct sun exposure for several days

Results develop gradually over a series of sessions

A touch-up may be recommended over time to maintain the look and definition of the treatment area

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Scalp Micropigmentation suitable for me?

SMP is suitable for both men and women experiencing a range of hair loss concerns, including receding hairlines, thinning hair, bald patches, alopecia and scarring from hair transplants. Because every client’s hair loss journey is different, we require a professional consultation prior to treatment. This allows us to assess your scalp, understand your desired result and confirm that SMP is the right solution for you.

How natural will the result look?

When performed by a skilled practitioner, SMP is virtually indistinguishable from natural hair follicles. Each tiny impression is carefully placed and built up gradually across multiple sessions to create depth, density and a defined hairline that complements your natural hair colour and skin tone.

How many sessions will I need and how long does it take?

SMP is built gradually over a series of sessions to ensure the most natural and even result. The number of sessions required will depend on the extent of your hair loss, the size of the treatment area and your desired outcome. This will be discussed in detail during your consultation, where we will map out a personalised plan to achieve your goals.

Is the treatment painful and what is the recovery like?

Most clients find SMP very tolerable, with any discomfort being mild and brief. Following each session, some redness and sensitivity around the scalp is normal and typically settles within 24 to 48 hours. You will be advised to avoid washing the scalp, heavy sweating and direct sun exposure for several days post-treatment to allow the pigment to heal and settle properly. We will provide you with full aftercare guidance to protect your results.

Will the pigment fade over time?

Like all pigment-based treatments, some natural fading can occur over time as the skin renews itself. Occasional touch up sessions are recommended to maintain the definition and vibrancy of the treatment area. During your consultation we will give you an overview of longevity and what to expect long term so you can plan accordingly.
