Scalp Micropigmentation
"*" indicates required fields
What Is Scalp Micropigmentation?
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a procedure designed to make your hair look fuller across your scalp. Tiny dots are carefully tattooed across the scalp skin to resemble a full, natural hairline. SMP is a fantastic way to instantly create the illusion of hair density without waiting months for your hair to grow.

About Scalp Micropigmentation
How Does Scalp Micropigmentation Work?
Your technician will design a natural-looking hairline, before choosing a pigment that closely matches your natural hair colour.
The team will then start to make minuscule incisions across your scalp. Using a specific SMP multi-needled device, the pigment is distributed into these incisions to create tiny dots that resemble shaved hair roots. Pigment is tattooed into the dermal layer of the skin to ensure long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Who Is Scalp Micropigmentation For?
Scalp micropigmentation is popular with those who shave their head. It makes your style look like a cosmetic choice, rather than a decision motivated by hair loss. It’s also a great way to disguise a growing hair transplant, or hide thinning areas across your scalp in those with longer hair.
SMP may also be suitable for patients who aren’t eligible for a hair transplant, such as those with alopecia areata.
Is Scalp Micropigmentation Permanent?
SMP is permanent, but like any tattoo, it’s natural for your scalp micropigmentation to fade a little. You may need top-up treatments to keep your hairline looking full over time.

SMP Aftercare
Taking care of your SMP can help your scalp heal more quickly, and give you the best possible results. Here’s what you need to know about looking after your scalp following SMP treatment:
- Try to avoid swimming and sweating for 4 weeks after treatment.
- Stay out of the sun — UV rays can make your SMP fade more quickly.
- Scratching your scalp can disrupt the healing process, so try not to itch.

"I look younger now than I did 10 years ago."
“The staff at Landmark Clinic guided me through the SMP process, answering all my questions as we went along. I always felt like I was in safe hands and now I look younger now than I did 10 years ago. Massive confidence boost and well worth the investment.”
How much does SMP treatment cost?
At the Landmark Clinic, scalp micropigmentation prices start at £1,449. The ultimate cost of your treatment will depend on the required coverage and the number of sessions you need to achieve a natural-looking result.
General SMP FAQs
You might feel some slight discomfort during a scalp micropigmentation procedure, but it’s not usually described as painful. To reduce any discomfort, a topical anaesthetic is applied to your scalp beforehand.
When performed by a skilled SMP technician, the pigment blends naturally into your existing hairline, so it’s very difficult to tell you’ve had the treatment without examining your scalp close-up.
Many alopecia areata patients are eligible for SMP treatment. To confirm if you’re a good candidate for SMP, book a consultation with our team.
For the most natural results, you’ll need around 2-3 sessions of SMP treatment. This allows your technician to build up the layers of pigment in a way that closely resembles your natural hair roots.
Yes — SMP pigment doesn’t stop hair from growing, so it can easily complement your hair restoration routine. You can apply Minoxidil, taking Finasteride, and even have a hair transplant alongside SMP to encourage regrowth.
