Scalp Micropigmentation (commonly known as SMP or micropigmentation) is a cosmetic tattoo. Unlike a normal tattoo, SMP uses very specialised needles, pigments, and equipment to create the look of natural hair follicles on the scalp, thus creating a very natural buzzed cut look . When this procedure is performed by a trained SMP practitioner, the results appear 100% natural so the main benefit of the procedure is to give the illusion of fuller density without having to go under the knife for an expensive and invasive surgery. SMP, in effect restores receding hairlines, thickens the appearance of remaining hair, hides transplant scarring and totally eradicates the cruel effects of alopecia. Each procedure is specifically catered to each clients specific needs. The procedure is non-invasive and permanent, requiring only touch ups to freshen it up every 4 - 5 years.  Common feedback is that the clients receive compliments of looking years younger and healthier.
