SMP Procedure & Techniques

Step-by-Step Process

Consultation & Design

The artist assesses scalp condition, discusses client goals, and designs a customized hairline.

Pigment Selection

A shade is chosen to match the client's natural hair color and skin tone.

First Session (Foundation Layering)

Light pigment is applied to establish the base layer of follicles.

Second Session (Density Build-Up)

More pigment is added, adjusting for depth, shade, and blending.

Final Session (Refinement & Detailing)

Any needed touch-ups, additional shading, or adjustments are completed.

6. Follow-Up & Future Touch-Ups

Clients return for a healing check-up to ensure proper pigment retention and scalp healing. A long-term touch-up plan is scheduled if needed to maintain the look over time.

Techniques Used in SMP

Pointillism – The standard SMP method, creating realistic follicle dots.

•

Feathering – Used for a softer, more natural transition.

•

3D Shading – Involves multiple pigment layers for depth and realism.

Why is Pointillism the Primary Technique in SMP?

Pointillism is the foundation of Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) because it mimics the natural look of hair follicles. The scalp is naturally covered in tiny, individual hair follicles rather than solid lines or shading, making precise microdots the most effective way to replicate real hair growth patterns.

How Feathering & 3D Shading Enhance Pointillism

While pointillism is the core technique, feathering and 3D shading play a key role in refining the results:

Feathering – This technique is embedded within pointillism to create softer transitions at the hairline and blending zones. It prevents a harsh, unnatural edge and ensures a gradual fade into existing hair or skin.

3D Shading – By layering pigments of varying densities and opacities within the pointillism method, 3D shading adds depth and realism. This is especially important for adding density to thinning hair or creating a natural scalp gradient.

Why Not Use Solid Shading?

Unlike traditional tattoo shading, SMP requires precision to avoid a flat, unnatural appearance. Large shaded areas can create an artificial "helmet" look, whereas pointillism—enhanced with feathering and 3D shading—ensures a seamless, natural hair follicle illusion.

Benefits of SMP

Benefits of SMP

Non-Surgical & Safe – No incisions, stitches, or recovery time.

Low Maintenance – Unlike hair transplants, SMP does not require special shampoos or medications.

Long-Lasting – Results last 4-6 years with minimal fading.

Versatile – Customizable to match different hairstyles and personal preferences.

Boosts Confidence – Provides an instant improvement in self-esteem and appearance.

Risks & Considerations

While SMP is a safe procedure, some factors to consider include:

  • – SMP pigments naturally fade and may require touch-ups every few years.

  • – Poor-quality pigments may turn blue or green if not correctly formulated.

  • – Proper hygiene and high-quality pigments minimize these risks.

  • – Experience and skill level significantly impact the final result.

Aftercare & Healing Process

  1. Immediate Aftercare (First 7 Days)

    ✔ Avoid washing the scalp for 3-5 days.
    ✔ Avoid sweating, swimming, and direct sun exposure.
    ✔ Do not touch or pick at scabs.
    ✔ Apply an approved moisturizer if needed.

  2. Long-Term Maintenance

    ✔ Use SPF 30+ sunscreen to prevent premature fading.
    ✔ Moisturize the scalp regularly.
    ✔ Avoid exfoliating or harsh skin treatments.
    ✔ Schedule a touch-up every 3-5 years as needed.

SMP vs. Other Hair Loss SolutionsSMP vs. Other Hair Loss Solutions

The chart on the right compares Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) to other common hair loss solutions, including hair transplants, hair fibers, and wigs/hairpieces, across five key factors: non-surgical nature, permanence, instant results, low maintenance, and cost-effectiveness.

The y-axis lists these features, while the x-axis represents a scale from 0 to 1, indicating the effectiveness or availability of each feature for each solution. SMP scores the highest in non-surgical, instant results, and low maintenance, making it a leading option for those seeking a hassle-free and long-lasting solution to hair loss. Hair transplants are permanent but require surgery, recovery time, and significant cost, which lowers their ratings in terms of instant results and maintenance. Hair fibers and wigs offer immediate effects and affordability but require frequent upkeep and are not permanent solutions. This comparison highlights why SMP is becoming an increasingly popular choice for those looking for a natural, low-maintenance, and cost-effective alternative to traditional hair restoration methods.
