In technical terms, scalp micropigmentation is a non-invasive procedure where specially formulated pigments are placed at ideal depths in the thinning and balding areas of your scalp. This process can be thought of as similar to tattooing, hence also called hair tattoo. This procedure creates an illusion of thicker hairy blending with your skin tone and existing hair. The pigments are applied in a dot-like, layered fashion with shades of color.

There are quite a decent number of benefits of SMP. Some of them being:

  • It restores natural looking hairline by creating an illusion of a fuller scalp
  • The process is non-invasive hence very less recovery time
