Hairline Density/Scalp Micropigmentation is a cosmetic treatment for thinning hair or hair loss. It’s sometimes also called a hair tattoo. Scalp micropigmentation is noninvasive and doesn’t require surgery or anesthesia. Our artists use thin, small needles to deposit tiny dots of pigment (color) on your scalp. These dots give the appearance of thicker hair.
Getting scalp micropigmentation, means you can finally hide those thinning areas on your scalp. The treatment can also give the illusion of having shaved hair or a “buzz cut” on people who are bald. These looks are acquired by placing a thin needle directly into your scalp at an angle that will not damage any surrounding tissue or nerves in the skin around your head area (such as your neck).
Who Can Benefit From This Treatment?
Hairline Density/Scalp Micropigmentation is a type of permanent makeup. The treatment can create the appearance of thicker hair in people who have:
- Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that causes hair loss.
- Chemotherapy-related hair loss.
- Hair loss in women.
- Hormonal conditions that cause hair loss, include polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
- Male pattern baldness, receding hairline, or baldness at the crown of the head.
- Thin hair or scalp show-through.
- Scars or birthmarks on the scalp.
Benefits of Scalp Micropigmentation
- Long-Term Usage
Hair loss solutions like hair transplants require follow-up appointments within 4-6 months to keep the hair follicles in good condition. On the other hand, scalp micropigmentation (SMP) can be used for up to 3+ years with little maintenance or touch-ups.
- Minimally Invasive
SMP is sometimes referred to as “acupuncture for the scalp.” This is because its process does not involve breaking the skin; instead, it integrates the pigmentation seamlessly with one’s skin tone with the use of tiny needles. The procedure is quick and relatively painless, with zero to minimal discomfort.
- Healing & Recovery Time
SMP has little to no recovery time. This is because the treatment does not involve any invasive procedures. Meaning, there are no wounds to heal or bandages to change in between sessions, only a routine thorough cleaning of the scalp after. Make sure to ask your cosmetic artist about post-treatment care.
Each session takes a few hours to be completed, and results are already somewhat visible after the first session.
- Natural & Realistic Appearance
SMP treatments help add more density to thinning areas of the scalp where hair growth is stunted and parts of the hairline have receded. The results of SMP also help cover imperfections on the scalp like scarring from injuries, or incisions during surgery like hair transplants.

- Reliable Hair Loss Solution
SMP is a trusted and reliable hair loss treatment. The effectiveness of other solutions like supplements, topical creams, or even hair transplants is not always guaranteed. SMP is the only treatment (in our experience) with guaranteed lasting results.
