What is Scalp Micropigmentation?
Scalp micropigmentation is a non-surgical, cosmetic treatment that deposits pigment into the scalp to create the appearance of closely shaved hair.
It is applied using an advanced electric tattoo device equipped with specialized needles, unlike manual tools used in traditional microblading. This pigment simulates the appearance of hair.
Benefits of Scalp Micropigmentation: Feel Confident Again
Scalp micropigmentation offers numerous benefits for individuals experiencing hair loss or thinning hair. Here are some key advantages:
- Restored Confidence: SMP can significantly improve the appearance of thinning and density
- Natural-Looking Results: Our skilled practitioners at CosMedic Laser MD use advanced techniques to create realistic and seamless results that blend seamlessly with your existing hair.
- Non-Invasive: Unlike surgical hair restoration procedures, scalp micropigmentation is a non-invasive treatment that requires no downtime.
- Customized Solutions: Our experienced team will tailor the treatment to your specific needs. Scalp micropigmentation can be customized to be performed with Surgical hair restoration to provide density. It can also be performed with PRP or PEP factor hair restoration to enhance results and individual satisfaction, ensuring optimal results that suit your individual hair color, skin tone, and desired style.
The pigments are delicately implanted in the upper dermis to mimic the natural size, shape, density and variations of real hair follicles.
Candidates for Scalp Micropigmentation
Scalp micropigmentation can benefit both men and women experiencing hair loss or thinning from a variety of causes. The most common candidates include:
- Men with male pattern baldness or receding hairlines. SMP can recreate the look of a buzzcut, short cropped hair, or a natural hairline.
- Women with thinning hair or bald spots due to factors like stress, hormonal changes after pregnancy, or hereditary hair loss. SMP provides discreet coverage and provides density solutions.
- Anyone with scalp scarring from injuries, burns or surgery that they wish to hide. The pigmentation can mask the scar tissue.
- Cancer patients who have undergone chemotherapy treatment and lost some or all of their hair. SMP offers an alternative to wigs.
- Alopecia areata sufferers who have experienced partial or complete hair loss. SMP restores the appearance of natural hair.
- Individuals with trichotillomania who compulsively pull out their own hair resulting in bald patches.
Scalp Micropigmentation Steps at CosMedic LaserMD
Dr. Deepa Macha and her team of trained technicians perform scalp micropigmentation at CosMedic LaserMD using advanced tools to create discrete, natural looking results. The process involves:
- Consultation – The initial appointment determines candidacy, addresses concerns, and sets expectations. The practitioner evaluates the scalp and hair pattern. Together, the ideal pigment color, density, and hairline shape are mapped out.
- Application – A topical numbing cream may be applied before the procedure for comfort. Using a digital tattoo device, pigment is delicately implanted in layered dots mimicking hair follicles. More density is added around the hairline and parted areas for depth.
- Follow-Up Sessions – Additional sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart allow for layering of pigments and fine-tuning of the results. Most patients require 2-3 treatments for optimal coverage. Maintenance touch-ups may be needed every 3-5 years on average.
- Aftercare – Patients are given detailed instructions on caring for the treated area while it heals. This includes keeping the scalp moisturized and avoiding sun exposure. Crusting and flaking are normal parts of the healing process.
Dr. Macha focuses on creating soft, natural SMP results tailored to each patient. With her medical expertise and artistic eye, she ensures patients leave looking like the best version of themselves.

Book nowFAQs About Scalp Micropigmentation
Scalp micropigmentation is an effective solution for hair loss and thinning, but many have questions about the process. Here are answers to some frequently asked questions:
Is scalp micropigmentation painful?
Most patients do not find SMP to be painful. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand for comfort. They describe the sensation as a vibrating, pricking feeling. Some temporary soreness may be common afterwards.
How long do SMP results last?
With proper aftercare and sun protection, SMP results can last upwards of 3 years before needing a touch up. Over time, some fading is normal as the skin naturally regenerates. Maintenance sessions bring the pigment back to full saturation.
What is the recovery like?
Minimal downtime is required after getting SMP. Some residual swelling, redness and scabbing around the implanted dots is common. Most patients are able to return to normal activities the next day. Full healing takes around 7-14 days.
Is scalp micropigmentation the same as hair tattoo?
SMP (scalp micropigmentation) is often considered a type of hair tattoo. It involves implanting pigment into the scalp to mimic the look of hair follicles and create the appearance of a fuller head of hair.
While SMP and hair tattoos are essentially the same in that they both involve implanting pigment into the scalp, SMP differs from traditional tattoos in some key ways.
How is SMP different from hair transplantation?
SMP is non-surgical and less invasive. It requires no stitches or recovery time compared to the pain and scarring risk of transplants. However, SMP provides an illusion of fullness rather than restoring living hair follicles.
Should I shave my head before getting SMP?
If you currently have some hair, your practitioner may recommend buzzing it short before starting SMP. This allows the pigment to be implanted at follicular depth within the scalp for the most realistic outcome.
What if I need an MRI?
When getting an MRI, you may be questioned if you have tattoos. Scalp Micro Pigment that we use at CosMedic LaserMD is organic pigment, carbon based and without metallic elements and are safe for radiologic procedures including MRIs.
Will SMP work with my hair type?
Yes, SMP can work for most all hair types and curl patterns. The practitioner will adjust the shape, size and grouping of the implanted pigment dots to match your natural follicles. This creates a seamless, undetectable result.
