Start here What SMP is and how it actually works

Begin with the basic definition and a clear, step-by-step view of how SMP is built on the scalp.

What Is Scalp Micropigmentation? Simple, plain-language definition of SMP and how it differs from hair transplants and regular tattoos.
How SMP Works Step by Step Session-by-session overview: mapping, layering dots, healing, and what it feels like.
SMP Results & Appearance How SMP looks in the mirror, on FaceTime, and in photos — shaved look vs density-only.

Comfort, safety & healing What it feels like, healing and long-term behaviour

Everything around pain, numbing, safety standards, aftercare, and how SMP ages on real skin.

SMP Pain & Safety Honest breakdown of comfort levels, numbing options, and when medical clearance matters.
SMP Aftercare & Healing Day-by-day healing expectations, how to care for the scalp, and normal vs red flags.

Special cases & technical detail Women, scars, pigments and corrections

Deeper guidance for non-standard patterns, transplant scars, and what to do if you’ve had a bad SMP experience.

SMP for Women & Special Cases How SMP is adapted for women, diffuse thinning, part lines and other unique scenarios.
Scars & Transplants Softening FUT strips, FUE dots and thin transplant zones so everything reads as one pattern.
Pigments & Technique The pigments, depth, dot spacing and layering that keep SMP from turning blue or blurry.
Corrections & Regrets Options if your current SMP feels too dark, too low, too sharp or fake-looking.

Next step: talk through your pattern from home

You don’t have to read every page before you decide anything. If you’re already picturing what SMP might look like on you, the easiest move is a short, at-home FaceTime consultation. We’ll look at your hair loss pattern and skin type on camera, talk through shaved vs. density looks, estimate how many sessions you’ll need, and answer your questions — all before you travel to the studio.
