SMP (short for Scalp Micropigmentation) is the method of applying micro dots of pigment (ink) to the scalp to mimic a shaven hair look. When skilfully done this treatment is undetectable with noticeable results after the first session.
This non-invasive treatment delivers immediate and long-lasting results, surpassing traditional hair transplants and the ongoing maintenance incurred with hair systems. It creates the illusion of a full head of hair with an enhanced natural hairline. Scalp Micropigmentation replicates the look of a closely cropped or shaved hairstyle, giving you a low-maintenance and stylish appearance. Suitable for all ages, ethnicities, and hair types, it can cover up scars, birthmarks and can be a subtle and effective solution to alopecia.
Beyond the cosmetic benefits, it offers a life-changing experience, boosting self-esteem and confidence. Don't let hair loss control your life - embrace the transformation of Scalp Micropigmentation today.

Scalp Natural specialise in Scalp Micropigmentation for hair loss and focus mainly on shaven scalp work over the traditional additional service of density work for thinning hair. Being a specialist allows our artist to focus on natural faded hairline designs and keep costs at a standard rate. SMP is carried out over 2-4 sessions depending on coverage area and is completed by gradually adding density and colour in each session to achieve the desired outcome each and every time.
Another service offered at our clinic is the skilful coverage of scars and localised hair loss. Scar camouflage can be applied to clients with existing FUE and FUT hair transplant scarring and can mask the areas to mimic hair follicles or darkest the shade of scarring o blend with the existing hair colour. Cost is adjusted depending on work required and can be provided on contacting the clinic for an assessment of area requiring work.
Treatments take approximately 3-4 hours. An average of 3-4 treatments are required to add density and complete the look.

SMP looks its best when the hair is shaved to the skin with a foil shaver, balding clipper or t-outliner electric shaver. It is advised to keep the hair slightly longer when coming for your first treatment so the artist can assess the hairloss area
Only specialist high quality carbon black pigment ink is used at Scalp Natural and will not turn a different colour.
The choice of pigment used will depend on the colour of your existing shaven hair and can be used on the lighter shade to mimic grey hair follicles
Micro dots of pigment are precisely placed in the upper region of the dermis using ultra fine needles smaller than a standard tattoo needle. Tattoo needles will penetrate approx. 3mm into the skin where SMP is placed at 0.5-1mm. Tattoo needles are dragged across the skin whereas SMP uses dots to mimic hair follicles.
