Is SMP the same as a scalp tattoo?

No. SMP uses pigment specifically formulated for the scalp — not tattoo ink — and uses different technique, placement depth, and needle size. The pigment is designed to fade without color shifting, which conventional tattoo ink does not do.

Does SMP make hair grow back?

No. SMP does not affect hair follicles or hair regrowth in any way. It creates the visual appearance of hair by placing pigment in the scalp — the biology underneath does not change.

What Is Scalp Micropigmentation?

Q: What is scalp micropigmentation?

Scalp micropigmentation is a cosmetic procedure that places tiny pigment deposits in the scalp to replicate the look of hair follicles. Depending on how it is applied, the result looks like a closely shaved head of hair, added density for thinning hair, or camouflage for a scar.
