What is (SMP) Scalp Micropigmentation?

It’s one of the most common questions we get at SMPLondon – and a fair one. If you’re considering it, you deserve to know exactly what it is and how it can help.

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical treatment that uses specialised pigments and micro-needles to replicate the look of real hair follicles on the scalp. It creates the appearance of fuller hair, restores receding hairlines, and adds density to thinning areas – giving you a sharp, clean, and natural look.

While SMP doesn’t regrow hair, the technique itself can sometimes stimulate the scalp and improve circulation, which may support natural hair health. But the true power of SMP lies in how it transforms your look – instantly.

At SMPLondon, every treatment starts with a full scalp assessment. We take into account your existing hair, skin tone, growth direction, and follicle pattern to design a result that blends in perfectly. We match pigments to your natural tones and map out your ideal hairline – so the end result is subtle, sharp, and totally bespoke.

Is Scalp Micropigmentation for Everyone ?

Yes, SMP Works for All Ages, Skin Tones, Hair Colours & Stages of Hair Loss


Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a versatile, non-surgical hair loss solution designed to work for everyone. Whether you're in your 20s or 60s, have fair or dark skin, light or dark hair, or are experiencing early thinning or complete baldness – SMP can deliver natural-looking results tailored to you.

At SMPLondon, we customise every treatment to match your unique skin tone and hair colour, creating a seamless blend that mimics real hair follicles. It’s an effective solution for all ethnicities, genders, and hair loss types – from receding hairlines to alopecia or scarring.

No matter your background or stage of hair loss, SMP gives you back control, confidence, and a sharp, defined look.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is hair tattooing (SMP) painful
The procedure is virtually painless. Most clients describe the sensation as mild discomfort, similar to a light scratching.
How Long Does a Hair Tattoo Last?
With proper care, SMP can last up to 6 years before requiring a touch-up. The longevity depends on factors like sun exposure and skincare routine.
Can SMP Be Removed or Adjusted?
Yes! Laser removal or pigment lightening techniques can be used if adjustments are needed.
Is a hair tattoo (SMP) Haram
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a semi-permanent procedure designed to replicate the appearance of natural hair follicles, making it an effective solution for hair loss. Unlike traditional tattoos, SMP does not penetrate deep into the skin, and it gradually fades over time. Importantly, SMP does not create a barrier that prevents water from reaching the skin, meaning it does not interfere with wudu (ablution) or ghusl. According to the British Fatwa Council, micropigmentation is permissible in Islam, as it is not considered a permanent alteration of Allah’s creation.
Hair Tattoo (Scalp Micropigmentation) Cost & Pricing
The cost of a hair tattoo, also known as scalp micropigmentation (SMP), typically ranges between £500 - £3,500 in the UK. The price varies based on factors such as the level of hair loss, the size of the area being treated, and the clinic’s expertise. A consultation (online or in-person) is usually required to get an accurate quote based on your hair loss pattern and desired result.
Does a hair tattooo look natural?
Yes! When done by an experienced SMP artist, it mimics natural hair follicles and blends seamlessly with existing hair or creates the illusion of a full, shaved head.
How many sessions are needed for SMP?
Most clients require 2-3 sessions to achieve full, natural-looking results. Each session builds density and enhances the overall appearance.
How How soon can I return to work after SMP?
You can usually return to work the next day. Minor redness may appear but fades within 24-48 hours.
Will my SMP fade over time?
Yes, SMP gradually fades over 4-6 years, but touch-ups can keep it looking fresh. Proper aftercare and sun protection help maintain the results longer.
Can I still grow my hair after SMP?
Yes! SMP does not stop hair growth. If you choose to grow your hair, the treatment will blend naturally with your existing hair.
What’s the aftercare for SMP?
Days 1-4: Avoid water, sweating, and sun exposure.
Day 5+: Light washing allowed. No scrubbing or shaving.
2-4 weeks: Avoid prolonged sun exposure and exfoliation.
Who is a good candidate for SMP?
SMP is ideal for people with male pattern baldness, thinning hair, alopecia, or transplant scars. It works for both men and women of all hair types.
