What is Scalp Micropigmentation?

Scalp Micropigmentation is a non-invasive treatment that uses detailed micro-needles to deposit pigment into the scalp. The result creates the appearance of tiny hair follicles that help thicken and restore the look of fuller hair.

How does it work?

The goal of Scalp Micropigmentation isn't to create hairlike lines as you would when microblading eyebrows, but instead to use tiny, layered dots in different hues of black to replicate the look of a shadow on your scalp. This style, referred to as pointillism, is done to create natural looking depth and definition.

What should I do before my treatment?

  • Wash your hair: It is important to wash your hair thoroughly before the procedure to remove any oils or products that may interfere with the pigment's absorption.

  • Eat a healthy meal: It is recommended to eat a healthy, balanced meal before the procedure to ensure that your body has the necessary nutrients and energy for the procedure.

  • Avoid blood-thinning medications: If you are taking any blood-thinning
    medications, such as aspirin or warfarin, you may need to stop taking them several days before the procedure to reduce the risk of bleeding.

What happens during treatment?

We use needles to provide medical-grade pigment on the desired areas of the scalp. The dots vary in size, angle and depth to provide a natural, hairlike appearance. Unlike hair transplant surgery, our treatments do not require any incisions, stitches or anaesthesia.

Does it hurt?

Before your procedure, we will apply a topical numbing agent on your scalp. That said, it's good to keep in mind that there may still be some discomfort. However, how much discomfort largely depends on your pain tolerance.

Am I a candidate for Scalp Micropigmentation?

People with scalp acne or other skin sensitivities like psoriasis should avoid getting SMP during a breakout or flare-up, as it will be difficult to apply pigment to the inflamed areas. If you're prone to developing keloids, which are more common in darker skin, you may also not be a good candidate for SMP.

I travelled from the UK to get my SMP sessions done with AK at Scalptique. My hairline was adjusted to fit my face perfectly. I am very happy with my final results and have received many compliments from friends and colleagues. Thanks to Scalptique, I was able to regain my confidence once again.
