There are a lot of men and women who suffer from hair loss due to genetics or external factors. Having such hair loss can really hurt our self-confidence and self-esteem. Thanks to Scalp Micropigmentation, you can choose to have a hair-like appearance. Scalp Micropigmentation or SMP is the best solution for any type of hair loss. Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is an advanced method of cosmetic pigmentation. The permanent makeup artist gives the hairs external density, fullness, and natural volume.
If you cannot restore hair follicles with proper nutrition, good care, and all available means, choose the Scalp Micropigmentation procedure.
What Is Scalp Micropigmentation?
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a medical, non-surgical, cosmetic tattoo that consists of spot application of pigment into the upper layers of the scalp skin with a thin needle.
It reminds hair tattoo, creates the illusion of a short haircut, or adds some color and volume to the scalp areas. This is a quick way to hide thinning hair and baldness. It makes the illusion of thicker hair. The procedure is effective in the presence of scars, post-operative scars that prevent normal hair growth, and Alopecia.
SMP is performed with highly specialized equipment. Each treatment is to fit your specific skin tone and the shape of your scalp. When performed by a skilled professional, Scalp Micropigmentation is to resemble the look of a traditional haircut or to fill in any areas of the scalp that have hair loss and are patchy.
The Process of Scalp Micropigmentation
The process typically begins with a consultation, where clients discuss the expectations, procedure process, and all the details.
The permanent makeup artist inserts pigment on the desired area of the scalp. The dots done by the needle can be different in color, size, and angle.
Most clients usually take 3 to 4 sessions to get the desired results. Each procedure adds more pigment to create the look of thicker hair.
Scalp Micropigmentation procedure process
- Getting prepared for the procedure. After a thorough examination and identification of the characteristics of the scalp and skin, the optimal application technique is determined. At this time, a sketch is being drawn, and a shade is selected. If high-quality hypoallergenic pigments are used, then allergy tests can be omitted.
- Area preparation. The treated area is cleaned and treated with antiseptic, and numbing is applied to it.
- Carrying out a tattoo. The pigment is injected with a special machine under the surface layers of the epidermis. Artists can use 2 techniques here, the choice depends on the length of the existing hair or its absence.
- Recovery period. In order to avoid inflammatory reactions and accelerate the regeneration process of the scalp, it is treated with restorative compounds and antibacterial agents. The final effect is achieved after several procedures, it lasts for 3 years.
*Before and After pictures are always taken by the artist
During the second and following treatments, artists fill in the gaps and go a shade darker if you’d like.
Aftercare Instructions and recovery after the procedure
After the procedure, the artists at our Anna Kara’s Permanent Makeup Studio (San Diego, CA, USA) provide clients with Aftercare instructions.
For the first 2 days after the procedure, the skin might be a little reddened – this is normal. On the third day, it will peel off and take on crusts. Please avoid them tearing them off. Instead, you can apply some moisturizer, but do not rub it intensively.
At first, the pigment will look very bright, but after a couple of weeks, it will acquire the desired shade.
While the healing period is going on, the head skin cannot be washed. Visits to the sauna or bath are also contraindicated for a month. Over time, when going out under the scorching sun, you need to use sunscreens with a high value: SPF 50 and above.
During 2-3 years, the pigment will be fading, which means you should make a new appointment for your touch-up.

What is Scalp Micropigmentation?
Scalp Micropigmentation is a non-invasive treatment that uses micro-needles to insert pigment into the scalp. The result creates the appearance of tiny hair follicles or short hair stubble. If you are starting to thin, recede, or if you are completely bald, we can give you the look of a short buzz cut.
How many treatments should I expect?
Scalp Micropigmentation should never be considered a one-treatment process. Most clients can expect between 2-4 sessions to complete their treatment depending on the extent of hair loss or scarring. These treatments are usually spaced about 10-20 days apart.
Is Scalp Micropigmentation permanent?
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a medical, non-surgical, cosmetic tattoo. Often referred to as a cosmetic hair or scalp tattoo, this treatment typically lasts 1 year. If you would like to prolong the effect, you need to schedule your Color Booster procedure.
Why only 1 year? The reason is this is there are a lot of capillaries on the skalp.
After that, a client may experience some slight fading, which means it’s time to come back in for a quick touch-up. This cosmetic solution will not wash off, but can be tweaked as years go on. We always recommend meeting with our team of experienced expert practitioners to discuss your treatment options.
Will it change color like tattoos?
No, it won’t. Scalp Micropigmentation is a form of permanent cosmetics, but unlike tattoo ink, the Anna Kara’s Permanent Makeup Studio pigment is designed to fall within the same color spectrum of short cut hair. The pigment is mineral and it will gradually fade if not attending the Color Booster procedures.
Scalp Micropigmentation also utilizes different equipment than traditional tattooing, ensuring the needle and machine are designed specifically for micropigmentation of the scalp.
