Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)
What is scalp micropigmentation?
Scalp Micropigmentation otherwise known as SMP or scalp camo is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that creates the illusion of thicker, fuller hair by applying specialized pigments to the scalp. It involves tattooing tiny dots onto the scalp to mimic the appearance of natural hair follicles.
Who can benefit from SMP?
Scalp Micropigmentation is suitable for both men and women experiencing various forms of hair loss, including:
Thinning Hair: SMP adds density and camouflages areas where the scalp is visible through thinning hair.
Balding: It can create the appearance of a closely shaved head or buzz cut, particularly for those with full baldness.
Receding Hairlines: SMP helps define and restore the appearance of a receding hairline.
Alopecia: It can create a more uniform scalp appearance for individuals with different types of alopecia.
Scar Camouflage: SMP is an effective way to conceal scars resulting from previous hair transplants, surgeries, injuries, or birthmarks.
Key features and benefits
Natural-Looking Results: When performed by a skilled practitioner, SMP can be nearly indistinguishable from natural hair follicles.
Cosmetic tattooing: SMP places pigment in the scalp to create the appearance of follicles. It does not transplant hair or regrow it.
Immediate and Long-Lasting: Results are visible immediately and can last for several years, although touch-ups may be needed over time.
Minimal Maintenance: SMP requires less upkeep compared to other hair restoration treatments

Consultation Required
Let’s Work Together
Discuss the areas you want to camouflage, your preferred look, and the treatment plan with Michelle before booking your sessions.
Your consultation comes first
Bring your questions about thinning areas, hairline definition, or scar camouflage. Michelle will discuss the look you want and explain how the proposed coverage relates to your existing hair. Treatment pricing ranges from $800 to $3,100, with the exact quote determined during your free consultation.
Plan for more than one visit
SMP is usually completed in two to three sessions. If you are traveling from Beverly Hills or Bel Air, consider the full series when planning your visits. Ask Michelle about appointment spacing and aftercare before committing to your treatment plan.
