How does SMP treatment work?
By applying hundreds to thousands of tiny dots on the scalp, scalp micropigmentation gives the look of active hair follicles with tiny dots on the scalp, very similar to a tattoo. Like the natural hairline, this technique meticulously injects dyed pigment into the dermis.
Even though many may think SMP is like a traditional tattoo, the process clearly requires specialized training and techniques. Your practitioner maps out the hairline with precision and mixes bespoke pigments to blend seamlessly into skin tones. Whereas microblading is a series of hair-like lines, SMP employs layered dots in black tones to mimic the appearance of natural shadows, creating depth and definition.
A proficient SMP practitioner refines these dots to look like native hair follicles and blends them perfectly with the surrounding skin. This is extremely useful for providing more depth for people with hair loss problems caused by cancer, alopecia, thinning hair, and male and female pattern baldness.
Several benefits include:
Alopecia Areata
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disorder that attacks hair follicles, resulting in unpredictable, patchy, and non-scarring loss of scalp hair. In certain cases, hair may regrow; in others, there might be permanent hair loss.
Chemotherapy-Related Hair Loss
Since chemotherapy destroys rapidly dividing cancer cells, it can kill hair roots and does not stimulate hair growth. Some treatments may not cause hair loss, but if they do, it is usually just temporary.
Female Pattern Hair Loss
Most common in women over 40 years old, menopausal, or with a history of hair loss in the family, which is present in more than 50% of cases.
Male Pattern Hair Loss
The most common type of hair loss in men occurs in this pattern, usually appearing first on the top or the forehead.
Scars or Birthmarks on the Scalp
These may be visible in the hair. Scalp micropigmentation can be successfully applied to cover these scars.
Session duration for SMP treatments
How long does scalp micropigmentation take?
Each session of a Scalp Micropigmentation treatment can take anywhere from 1 to 5 hours. Most patients require three treatments to get the best possible result, with the first session typically being longer. Follow-ups are typically around every 10 to 20 days, and all our clients usually need somewhere between 3 to 5 sessions in total to cover the entire treatment process.
The number of sessions required and time for the treatment may vary according to the treatment size, complexity of each case, and your medical background.
Immediate visible result
How long do the results last?
For many years after your treatment has been completed, the colour of scalp micropigmentation should remain vibrant. With time, you will see lightness in pigment, not colour. If this happens, a quick "touch up" will return the colour and maintain that lasting effect. How many sessions and touch-ups necessary will vary depending on the technique added.
For those who want something more permanent, a pigment that is placed deeper into the dermis layer of skin to give you long-lasting results and usually with little desire for regular maintenance, you can opt for the 'close shave' type. Or, if you prefer something less permanent or are worried about hair colour fading over time, a tattoo-like surface method similar to microblading can be tattooed. Typically, it is visible for 3 years with this method.
Scalp micropigmentation for all hair colours
Does scalp micropigmentation work for all hair colours?
Highly experienced aestheticians work meticulously to choose the perfect pigmentation based on your natural or desired hair colour, making it near impossible to identify areas where and how pigmented hairs have been added. It can be used across all hair colours, even grey. Scalp Micropigmentation complements the work we have done in recolouring your scalp so that it appears consistent with its original colour.
Pain levels in SMP
Does scalp micropigmentation hurt?
Scalp Micropigmentation is not tattooing as we know it, and the type of pain experienced during treatment varies greatly from person to person. For some clients, it's a little inconvenience, while others experience moderate pain. The pain score is subjective and typically ranges from 1 to 4. Scalp micropigmentation is not a traditional tattoo and operates differently than the deep-down scraping technique of regular tattoos, going two layers into the dermis. This method is also a lot less painful than regular tattooing.
There are multiple variables that impact the amount of pain you experience throughout scalp micropigmentation. These include your own pain tolerance, type of scalp to be treated, and the physical condition of your skin. Again, the level of discomfort can be influenced by anxiety regarding the procedure. In short, the pain caused by SMP is relatively easy to cope with compared to traditional tattoos, and most clients do not really have an issue.
Personalising SMP for natural-looking results
Can scalp micropigmentation be personalised for individual needs?
Scalp micropigmentation is custom-tailored to everyone's individual characteristics. This involves customization of the treatment to your hair colour, skin tone, hair growth type, and pattern of baldness. With these personal inputs, one can achieve a very natural look with SMP that pairs well with your existing hair and overall appearance.

The remarkable difference a Harley Street Skin Clinic treatment can provide
Scalp Micropigmentation (a.k.a. 'SMP' ) is but one procedure at The Harley Street Skin Clinic that disproves the idea that 'no pain' equals 'no gain'. Whilst some patients report a little discomfort - typically somewhere between 0 and 3 on the pain scale - others have managed to close their eyes and slip into slumber during their sessions. That's right: SMP is a perfectly comfortable, and astonishingly quick remedy to anyone unhappy with hair loss.
Using a combination of careful colour matching, professional placement and tattooing techniques, Scalp Micropigmentation aims to mimic the natural hairline and can even be used to conceal scarring from prior hair transplants or trauma which may have lead to hair loss.
SMP offers incredible results to those intending to maintain the appearance of the 'buzzcut' - although not exclusively. Although typically thought to be a treatment only aimed at men, in actuality, SMP works wonders for anyone seeking the appearance of volume and fullness.
Those worried about being left with a harsh, dark hairline when the rest of their hair has transitioned to silver need not panic, either. SMP uses tattoo technique which, depending on depth, can be both permanent and semi-permanent to account for the changing of hair shade overtime.
