Hair loss is often thought of as a problem that primarily affects men, but many women also experience thinning hair, receding hairlines and even bald patches.

For women, hair loss can be particularly distressing as hair can closely impact self-esteem and identity. Fortunately, Scalp Micro-Pigmentation (SMP) offers a non-surgical solution to hair loss for women facing these challenges. In this blog we're going to explore the ins and outs of SMP as a treatment method and how it can help women regain confidence in their appearance.

What Is Scalp Micro-Pigmentation for women?

Scalp Micro-Pigmentation (SMP) for women is an advanced, non-surgical procedure, where a process similar to cosmetic tattoo is used to create the look of shaved hair. Unlike traditional tattoo procedures, SMP for women uses specialised, natural pigments specifically designed for the scalp. This prevents the pigmentation from changing colour, with the pigments remaining closely matched to your natural hair tones. 

Our highly skilled technicians utilise ultra-thin needles to precisely place the pigments just below the epidermis, using varying penetration depths, pattern distribution and angles. In SMP for women, the technician will also select specific pigments to create a unique blend that will match perfectly with your natural hair colour delivering seamless and natural results.

SMP for women is an incredible, transformational and affordable treatment that gives immediate results and restores confidence in women who are suffering from hair loss.

​​How Long Does The SMP Treatment Take?

The duration of the Scalp Micro-Pigmentation (SMP) treatment can vary based on individual needs and the extent of coverage required. On average, each treatment session lasts between 1 to 3 hours. Most clients will need 2 to 3 sessions to achieve the desired results, with each session building upon the previous one to create a natural and realistic appearance. The exact number of sessions and the total time required will be determined during your initial consultation, where our skilled technicians will assess your specific needs and develop a personalised treatment plan.

How Long Do SMP Results Last?

Because every individual is unique, results and longevity of treatment can vary so we can not give a definite answer to this question. The two main factors responsible for pigment fading are the clients collagen microstructure, and the clients immune response - both unique to the individual. However, to ensure your results last as long as possible we advise all our clients to protect their head in the sun, as sunburn can fade the pigments. To maintain your Scalp Micro-Pigmentation you may require a touch-up up once every 2-3 years. You will be glad to know that if a touch-up is needed, it would be charged at an hourly rate, you don't pay the initial treatment rate.
