What is
Scalp Micropigmentation?
Scalp Micropigmentation(also known as SMP or a hair tattoo) is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses micro-needles to deposit pigment into the scalp. It creates the illusion of hair follicles, adding the appearance of density and fullness to areas of thinning or balding hair.
Microblading hairline treatment is also suitable for women with thinning hairlines.
The treatment for SMP (scalp micropigmentation) typically requires a minimum of 2 or 3 sessions and can be done up to a maximum of 7 sessions.
The process for three SMP sessions:
First Session:
Perform 60-70% of the treatment.
Check the progress one week later.
Second Session:
Perform as much treatment as possible within a two-hour time frame.
Third Session:
Increase the treatment density further.
